Game has some problems when it comes to play on new GPUs and CPUs. There are some guides in discussions what files you need to relace to run in correctly.

Game is really good.
Campaign is short but packed with a lot of fun and memorable moments.
Coop mode is fun but if you want to get all the achievents they might be really hard to get all the achievements
Multiplayer is not active. Can find games on weekends and when the game is on sale. But has active community that plays regurarly.

Must play for WH40K fans!

tons of fun

I mean ♥♥♥♥ me why did I buy this? It feels super generic look if you did not like Gears of Wars then don't even try, I get it now, people enjoyed this game when they were 13 but gameplay wise it does not stand the test of time at all, it's the nostalgia that keeps this game high in the reviews' ratings. Well this is how it feels but I barely play it so I will to play it more but I really do not expect to be blown away by this game. I am still very interested by the sequel though for the story and cinematics and maybe that's what I should be seeking here but I don't think that's exactly it for this first ''console'' game which just rythm with stinking ass in my head lol

it runs great on the steam deck though : 6/1o

Immaculate gaming experience, the Emperor is most pleased!

Great game!

An oldie and a goodie. Get it on sale on Steam and play network with friends. You can even play as CHAOS!!! All Is Dust!

If I could see through walls
I could see you're ♥♥♥♥♥♥
If you could see my thoughts
You would see our faces
Safe in my rental like an armored truck back then

Space Marine is a game built for both fans of the Warhammer 40,000 universe as well as regular gamers. The controls are more controller oriented, but still work just fine on a mouse and keyboard. You'll spend this game getting into gloriously gory, satisfying melee & ranged combat with large green monsters called "Orks" all the while the world around you disintegrates into even more chaos. The story / characters are passable, buts mostly the enjoyable gameplay & setting that you'll enjoy more here.

The game constantly provides you with upgrades & new toys to play with that keep the gameplay feeling fresh throughout the entire campaign playthrough (although the lascannon is ridiculously powerful & is well worth keeping right up until the end of the game). You'll be running around blasting people in the face with a bolter before later on flying around and smashing Orks into dust with a giant thunder hammer. If this sounds like fun to you, then you're absolutely right; it is absolutely brilliant fun!

Whether you're a fan of the Warhammer 40,000 universe or not, with Space Marine you are in for an entertaining, appropriately gory, high octane, action game that doesn't outstay its welcome. This game is absolutely worth playing, and could serve as a great appetiser for the apparently superb newly released sequel.

Fun times!

One of the few solid Warhammer shooters.

This game got unfairly overlooked back in 2011 b/c of stiff competition. This was launched in the same year as titans such as MW3, Battlefield 3, Halo CE Anniversary, Gears of War 3, Uncharted 3, and so many more.

In wake of the release of the awesome Space Marine 2, this games deserves a look. While people can still follow SM2's story as it is, they'll be missing some context without playing the first game's campaign. SM is a solid third person shooter with some hack and slash elements. An overall simpler version than SM2 in mechanics. SM has hard hitting guns, fun enemies to fight (maybe except the last stretch when enemies become bullet sponges) and a basic but simple story with decent soundtrack.

The multiplayer on PC still has a small but dedicated player base with discord servers and steam groups to coordinate sessions. It's worth trying out, but be prepared for ♥♥♥♥♥♥ P2P servers and a lot of exploits and animation cancels that will overwhelm newbies.

A must buy for Warhammer fans and worth a look for those who are enjoying Space Marine 2.
