This has been a long time coming. and as such for those of you who just want to know "should I buy this game?" I will say yes
Do it. Or wait for a sale and do it. The game is a little short on content but what is there is solid, smooth and by god does it feel good. The game oozes 40k, the grimdark drips from it like juice from an orange and I give it a high recommendation.

Let me be frank for a moment (Hi frank), In this modern world, a whole century in to the culture war raging it is rare to find something that says: "♥♥♥♥ that, lets be authentic for a second". This game does that and it is a breath of fresh air. Who has time to give a ♥♥♥♥ when there are Tyranids invading. And belive me when I say they are INVADING. the skies blackened by swarms of flying creatures, the ground packed so densly by a moving horde of teeth and claws you will forget the color of the moss given time. But that is where you come in, JOHN WARHAMMER! joke aside, This game picks up roughly 200 years after the first one. Titus, the titular space marine from the first game, is serving penance as a black shield in the deathwatch. [This means that he is effectively in exile, and that his chapter colors are removed, which is a great dishonor to most] He and a squad of his bretheren in the deathwatch are sent to Kadaku to detonate a virus bomb [Weaponized virus that will spread and mutate wildly while devouring as much as it can before dying] to slow down the approaching Tyranid invasion. Things go to ♥♥♥♥, and they do so quickly. Titus is knocked out of the Aircraft and plummets to the ground, damaging his communicator, he lives though but has to listen to the chatter as his brothers are picked off by the ravenous hive mind. He finds the bomb, gets it to the orbital launcher and detonates it in low orbit, but sadly after a heroic last stand (?) he gets impaled by a carnifex and almost dies.

that was the tutorial, now you are in the game for real real. In the games Campaign you play as titus post the rubricon surgery [A surgery that upgrades a standard astartes, space marine, to a primaris, space marine 2.0] This was ordered by the chapter master himself and you are immediately put to work. I will not spoil further for the campaign here but suffice to say its good stuff

I have heard that some people are experiencing bugs of various sorts and I feel for them, I do. I have had ALOT of good time with the game almost entirely bug free. aside from some latency here and there but I blame the internet for that. I cannot speak for the people who has suffered from this however as I am not one of them. take that as you will.
The game is beautiful. Gorgeus, absolutely stunning even, and it feels really good to play. The Space Marines move fast and heavy you can see the impact of your characters wheight, strength and speed. Now this studio has another interesting game behind it as far as Horde shooters go, World War Z. I enjoyed that title, and I must say as a choice for who got to make this game, it was a good one. The engine utilizes the horde mechanics it has to the fullest, as you are unloading magazine upon magazine into a relentless horde of Tyranids, they die, they explode they crumble to bits, but they just. Keep. Coming.
Now this game is a powerfantasy. dont get that twisted, for your average Guardsman in this war this is the stuff nightmares are made of. Ravenous swarms of gnashing teeth and razor sharp claws of every shape and size, Armored Angels crashing against the hordes and yet, the horde does not stop. You call in everything. artillery, Airstrikes, tanks, anything you can think of and it just. keeps, comig.

It feels great honestly. despite your ridiculous strength and agility the enemies are still a threat. you can drown in a pile of gaunts. You have to display some of that gamer knowledge and wisdom to win fights at times. tactics are good options. The game lets you play the "campaign" either alone with two bots or with two buddies. Then there is the co-op missions, currently 7 of them, where you can do the same. this time with a different cast of characters. These are fun missions slightly shorter than a campaign mission but equal amounts of satisfying ultraviolence. and on top of this there is also PvP.
Now I personally think that the game is very good, but I have a few gripes here and there, such as for all its variety in animation, the so called: "Extremis" level threats, special enemies, have one, maybe two execution animations. now considering the amount of work the devs have put in to the game already with ordinary enemies having dozens each this is fine, I guess, but when I impale my 8th lictor for the day in the exact same way I did the other 7, it gets a little stale. every door opens with the same 3 buttons being pressed, and some of the shortcuts taken does begin to show with time. The variety necessary for you to turn a blind eye to this stuff isnt there. even if it is a great experience, if you suffer from a little hit of the tism, like me, you can and will probably find something that does impede your enthusiasm a little.

Might update this at some point, 8/10
