The best-looking Warhammer 40,000 game so far features thousands of angry aliens, gallons of blood, and one very overworked chainsword.
Space Marine 2 – you can’t kill the Metal Star Wars Outlaws is by no means a perfect game but its portrayal of a galaxy far, far away is authentic enough that it forgives a number of minor sins, if you’re a fan. Both Star Wars and Warhammer 40,000 have had plenty of video game tie-ins in the past but for both these news games their worlds are recreated in a level of detail – in terms of the quality and scale of the graphics – that has never been seen before.
On paper it’s all perfect, but the problem is the combat just isn’t as much fun as it should be. Watch a video and it looks amazing but playing it there’s a distinct lack of feedback in terms of sound, rumble, and gameplay. Cutting a swathe through armies of Tyranids feels strangely weightless and since the game is often a visual mess of blood and bodies it’s actually quite hard to tell whether you’re hitting anything or if what you were originally aiming at is already dead.
