According to reports, the games in this well-known role-playing game franchise follow the same storyline, with the protagonists always facing the same villains: the servants of the primordial, or more commonly known as the Chaos forces. On sites like Reddit, users are suggesting that the game should have focused more on facing the Tyranids and not deviated from that.

After a considerable amount of gameplay and many trailers showing its features in depth, players can’t wait to try Space Marine 2, the new entry in the Warhammer 40K universe. Thanks to Unreal Engine 5, this game promises spectacular violence and sublime graphic quality. After various delays, Saber Interactive plans to release this third-person action title this year with an amazing action-packed experience.

But despite the excited fans, there are some who think the narrative could have taken more risks.

It seems this particular game follows the same trend as other titles in this universe, focusing on a specific faction without developing numerous others within this role-playing franchise. This universe boasts a vast amount of lore, which the writers could have incorporated into the main story.

According to a viral post on Reddit, some users believe that using the Chaos faction again in a game from this universe is part of a trend that doesn’t seem to end. This particular user hoped the game would focus solely on the Tyranids and not on Chaos. It appears that some users agree that games based on this franchise overuse the Chaos Forces as the main antagonists, making things repetitive.

According to the most die-hard fans who have been following this universe for years, they always end up finding that the forces of Chaos were controlling everything from the beginning, and they seem quite tired of seeing the same plot repeatedly. However, some users believe that if the game only had Tyranids as enemies, it would be repetitive, like Helldivers 2, because the player would have to destroy nest after nest.

However, the majority agree that the game looks spectacular, and they are eagerly awaiting its release. Space Marine 2 is set to arrive on September 9th for PS5, Xbox Series S/X, and PC. This title will offer all kinds of content, including a story mode, an online co-op mode, a PvE mode, and a PvP multiplayer mode. It will likely be one of the most comprehensive Warhammer 40K experiences in recent years, and its followers can’t wait to try this new title.

I'm a big fan of movies and videogames in general. I really love Pokémon and Godzilla. One of my favorite games is The Last of Us, Part II. A compelling and well-written story is always welcome.
