More about Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2

10 of the 799 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written August 2026 to October 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 51 percent of the 7,631 reviews written there were positive, against 84 percent overall, and those are 4 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (cosmetic); the score docks it lightly for that.

9.4 hours to finish it, 65 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 6.9 times the campaign.

The rating rests on 232,048 reviews, so it is not going to move much from here.

I liked the campain even though it is very short (about 8 hours playing time). But what really annoys me is that in multiplayer its basically unplayable because it crashed in almost every game. Really sucks the fun out of playing. Please fix this constant crashing!

My take on this game: PROS - Short, concentrated fun. Around 8-10 Hours even if you take your time. - Lots of cool moments and cinematics - Weapons feel heavy and powerful - While optimization is not great, the game handles stuff like having thousands of Tyranids on screen quite well. - Game ran fairly well (80-100 FPS) on my 9700X CPU & 7800XT GPU on Ultra settings. CONS - Story is deep AND wide as a puddle. It's...
