What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Space Marine 2 is a enjoyable game for the first 50 hours of the game, the main content of the game is focused around the campaign initially and shifts it’s focus to Cooperative Operations, I don’t see anyone playing much of PvP but it’s there if you care about being competitive(I don’t really care for it) in a PvE centered game.
-Beautiful visuals and animations (the executions, especially the newer ones with the Power Axe and against Chaos Spawns, make you feel like a real warrior.
A solid solo or coop experience, a little short (six hours I think) looks good and is very (modern) Warhammer 40k - However the meat of the game isn't here....
And remember that the prices for Season 1 or 2, which can be expensive if you want them, over 150$+ at regular price or 80$ when on sale is ONLY FOR COSMETIC AND NOTHING ELSE while helldivers 2 has TWENTY-ONE WARBONDS, which takes between 4 to 30 hours of gameplay per warbond to fully clear and each of them cost 13.49$+tx except two of them I think at 20$ which means to have access to content that IMPACTS THE GAME you need to spend either 280$CAD to 300$CAD and unlock all of them with 84 hours to 630 hours of gameplay, OR grinding in game super credits which would take from 26 to 62 hours of tedious boring repetitive running around at difficulty 1 doing Optimized speed-running farming or spending from 360 to 570 hours of mission time ( not logged in the game but actual missions) to earn all these super creds IF YOU ARE LUCKY ( I have 981 Hours in helldivers, about 571 actually playing missions, I am missing one legendary warbond at 1500SC and the 3 most recent, which means I need 4500 SC to get these ones, yet they will keep releasing more) .
