The big content update for Space Marine 2 also added PlayStation 5 Pro support and we're happy to report that the game joigns the list of those whose patch has indeed improved overall image quality. It's nice to see that the problems noted on the bunch of titles that did nit fully benefit from the new hardware are nowhere to be seen. Resolution is obviously higher in Quality mode but the boost in IQ can also be noticed in the Speed mode. There are still frame rate drops in the latter though as the game is very heavy on the cpu, but it's still perfectly playable, even without VRR.

Space Marine 2 is obviously quite a demanding game on PC, so for those of you who do not wish to spend their hard-earned money on a powerful PC, NVIDIA's GeForce NOW Ultimate is probably the way to go. The service doesn't come cheap of course, but it's less far less expensive than buying a recent config.

Provided you don't mind the old school game and level designs, which clearly remind of the early Gears of War era, Space Marine 2 should offer you some action-packed co-op fun with up to three friends. The main campaign lasts about 12 hours, but you can then try Operation mode, which has you play (alone or with friends) as another team during some of the campaign missions to discover how it went for them. If multiplayer is more your thing, there's even a 6v6 game mode, though we haven't been able to give it a try and we obviously can't predict if it has a chance to keep players interested in the long run. There was a time when all game including a solo (or co-op) campaign also featured a multiplayer mode, so thanks to Focus Entertainment and Saber Interactive, we get to feel a bit younger somehow. It feels a bit like time travel and it's kind of nice not to have to deal with crafting, loot, weapons upgrades or skill trees. Nostalgic players, get ready to crush some skulls!

Here are the first trailer and screensots of Space Marine 2, announced during The Game Awards by Focus Entertainment and Saber Interactive. This sequel to the third-person action game based on the Warhammer 40,000 franchise is being developed for PC, PS5 and Series X|S, no release date yet.
