Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine - Anniversary Edition Reviews

im trying to play it but very time i try it kicks me out and sends a bugsplat mesage the game itslef is fine but i cant play it and i have tryied everything

Similar game play style to Gears of War inside the War Hammer 40K universe. Well worth it! :)

Very good game but it does not start. In order to get it to start you need to verify the integrity of the files and then you need to download a special file from a second hand website and put it in the game folder. Worst of all, you need to redo the entire process every single time you try to start up the game. This process is so infuriating that i do not believe i will ever come back to this game after finishing it.

Solid third-person-shooter that makes you feel powerful, but still on the edge of danger at any moment. Feels old school in its simplicity by today's standards, but that strongly works in its favor.

I played this on the 360 before. Since 360 online is down this is the only way to play while getting most of the features. it is a shame that there isn't many around to play on multiplayer except for exterminatus.

I would say this game is worth the purchase but i cant get the thing to launch now. so until further notice please stay away from this game

to start off id like to say that this game has a great story and combat design. the struggle with this game however is the janky and overall spastic player movement. its difficult to dodge and traverse tight terrain. i recommend playing it for console instead of steam. it just runs better. i recommend you watch a video for the lore and play space marine 2. the sequel improves on all aspects. not a bad game, just dont recommend playing it in 2025. but if its on sale and you want it go ahead.

It's incredible that they made a much better sequel to this game because this one is awful lol. Get ready to press the same combos over and over, while hoping the targetting doesn't let you down. It's like Gears of war if it was somehow much much worse. There is a brief moment that the game is not awful. It is the jetpack part. They give you a decent weapon and a jump pack. It's good fun. They take that away from you so you can go back to plodding around. It does that gears of war console nonsense where you slow to a crawl to listen to exposition. Your armour is made of tissue paper. Melee combat is the only satisfying thing, but you have to keep doing executions to keep your health up. Executions don't stop damage so if you get the wrong animation, you might die before the health comes back. Great game design. There's a bunch of dead space to plod through. The game alternates between insultingly easy and parts where you have to play it like a cover based shooter because you'll die too quick, which are some of the least fun in any game I've played in the last twenty years. If you want to use the hammer, which you should, it makes the melee combat much more fun, then you can't use half your arsenal. This will screw you over in some sections, where you are forced to participate in mostly ranged fights. So you can choose to gimp your melee gameplay or be stuck because for this section, you should really have a sniper rifle. This game absolutely ruins the space marines. You're waiting behind cover for health regen so some infected guardsman doesn't finish you off. The characters say "space marine" about six thousand and eighty three times. There are multiple tiny changes in elevation and ramps that glitch out and stop you from moving-not areas you're not meant to be, but literally the path and the clip brushing is that bad. The character movement is so slow. Your squadmates are entirely useless, but they do occassionally teleport onto you and body block you. They do next to no damage-they are only really capable of killing the enemies who are wounded and stunned-the very ones you need to kill to regen health. There is an entire mission just shooting turrets. I want to personally be the one to blackball whoever came up with that from any software job. Let's take this game about being a space marine, a giant, indomitable walking tank, and force you to wait in cover for your health to recharge before peeking the turrets one by one. No skill involved, just a waste of time. It is incredible, in a franchise that spans this many games, that this manages to be it. The single worst 40K game, the single worst Warhammer game, in existence. I give this game zero stars and may god have mercy on the morons who made it because I know I sure won't if I get to them. I will only finish this one so I can say that the complete tools who made this poorly balanced, unfun piece of trash, did not beat me. For the lord's sake, the crosshair doesn't even line up properly. The controls are the least responsive in any game I have ever played. There is a boss that does the tired cliche of charging at you and you're meant to dodge. If you're playing on a controller, on this console port nonsense, you can't roll unless your sticks are pointed at just the right angle forward or it just doesn't do it. THEY BUILT AN ENTIRE BOSS AROUND THIS MECHANIC. And worse, it seems like someone realised it, because the charge attack doesn't do any more damage than your shield on normal difficulty, presumably because they realised it was dumb and bad and broken. I hope whoever made this job now is doing something more suited to their skills. Like picking up cigarette butts from the gutter with one of those little grabbers for their local council. Or cleaning chewing gum off the undersides of furniture.

fun fun fun fun fun, with a super fun surface level plot given gravitas by the actors involved, though Mark Strong keeps a constant sotto voce that really goes against the absolute hell going on around you never really rises to the power fantasy one wants when playing a space marine game, but the combat puzzle is actually pretty fun, requiring some positioning and resource management. this pre-dates doom 2013 so the glory kills aren't invulnerable, which really makes things 'damned if you do, damned if you don't', though the Rage mechanic feels made just right where it's not a crutch but it's there when you need it. looks just right for a 2011 game as well, runs well, pre-borderless windowed but oh well. glad I finally beat this so I can play SM2
