A great example of a solid AA mid game, certainly not worth $90 asking price for the other editions but for fans of SM1 picking this up at 49 is a solid deal, for anyone not a 40k or SM fan, I would suggest waiting for the game to hit $20.

More of the same arcadey simple action that made SM1 a fun spectacle to turn brain off for a few hours. Much in the same way, this is a game that is entirely set pieces and a few hours of cinematic spectacle. Saber has tried to make the formula a bit more evergreen by designing around 3 player co-op, however this has pretty much only slightly degraded the design of the first game. The games balance has the co-op shooter stank on it, where being balanced and challenging, letting everyone have their moments is more important than any one player having fun. Because of that, expect to feel very weak for a space marine, with a quite a few damage spongey enemies. Some fight mechanics are uninspired, and there's definitely a bit of missed opportunities for fleshing out gameplay, but it's not enough to take away from the spectacle, just don't expect a deep experience on any level. Solid 6/10
