This game has some of the most satisfying and fantastic game play and combat i have ever seen in a Third Person Shooter.
The updates, giving new weapons and missions for free is fantastic.
The effort they've given to make this game absolutely gorgeous, is outstanding.

But with every update, the game becomes less stable and the game crashes, far more often.
The Balance patches, and the re-works to how combat systems work are fantastic to see!
But when i have time to play a game, and can't even finish a mission due to the game crashing, i'm left incredibly disappointed.

I would have recommended this game at launch, but with every update, i end up more frustrated that i can't play such an amazing game consistently, to the point where i wouldn't want anyone else to waste their time.

SPACE MARINE : NO AMMO x 2

This game has a strong foundation good graphics but its far from the hyped up perfect game so many have made it out to be. First off it runs really badly but wait its high graphics so thats okay... no I mean on any setting. Its coded poorly and feels sluggish and clunky and every single thing you do has some unnecessary loading bar.

Turn the game on loading bar
Pick mode loading bar
Use the menu loading bar
Load the level loading bar
Section loading bar
Cut scene loading
Leave the game loading bar
Leave the group loading bar

What the fk is the code doing seriously I've played so many similar games and its nothing like this.

The game overall has a good concept but its designed through the lens of a boomer that played Halo 1 back in the day and so much of this game is copied poorly from Halo 1. The concepts of low ammo like Halo 1 do not work here at all they make the game so annoying and feel like you cant play the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game you payed for.

Yes there are ammo refills on lower diff but the entire point of the game is to go up difficulty to unlock the better cooler weapons ala its fundamental to the enjoyment of the game to go up. I dont mind hard but the no ammo thing all the time is a terrible experience in a game to which you are more of a fat slow plodding machine. You will spend so much time fat rolling away after your ammo ran out praying your team mate has something left to give to get you to the next zone. AWFUL!

Melee is super overpowered for the simple fact that you dont need to reload and yes you may see people online blasting some creature with a powerful gun but they dont show you the hell that guy went through to get to that max level which hardly anybody has done. The balance overall is totally awful you must play certain combos at higher tiers of difficulty or its just GG because not only is the game balanced in an unfun way the enemies on higher diff are buffed in the stupidest ways. I guarantee you only 000.1% of people have 100% the classes and all weapons in this game it takes forever and is a exercise in insanity to get there.

Stat higher is not good difficulty design period and we know this and have known this for a long time. This game on higher difficulty is utterly unfun and boring turning the enemies into annoying bullet sponges which again just makes the no ammo thing unfun. It doesnt matter how clever or creative you are with your skill if you have no ammo you CANT DO ANYTHING !?!? Its awful game design.

In the table top game yes 3 marines would not take out an entire hive army so giving them infinite ammo would have been an easy way to have a balanced trade off. Theres so many things that could have done instead like lets say make it important I hit my shots with my aim and positioning rather than just wow I exploited what little ammo I have in a cringe cheese fest. Its stupid because the majority of Space Marine armies about all about blasting xenos with GUNS not a bunch of melee stuff thats supposed to be mostly for rare special characters or specialist groups.

SPACE MARINES most iconic main role is to stand in a line and fire bolters with massive bullets into aliens. Nothing in this game rewards or promotes that. It plays like a cringe QTE fighting game in which your action figure has to keep constantly getting close to the alien to perform an animation dance. Getting near Tyranids its supposed to be the most STUPID thing you could ever do their entire race is designed to swarm a target and hack it to death. The idea that this game promotes that space marines are great at running in and swinging a sword is mega stupid. Marines fighting up close is mostly a last resort or for these super hero like figures like Calgar. Overall do not punish people for using a gun as a space marine I cant believe I have to say this...

If it was up to me I would remove all melee weapons from all the classes but 1 so that the vast majority of players will be relying on a gun like Space Marines all do. Also where is the famous space marine flame thrower and fix the plasma and melta guns they do not operate anything like that in 40k lore. A melta gun is a deadly hot beam the punches holes through tanks its not a shotgun ?!?! All this frustration makes the annoyin clunky progression system feel like a bad job and once youve tryed everything once its hard to wanna replay anything without your friends bolstering the entertainment which they could do in any game.

The campaign is decent enough but I wouldnt replay it and I found once it switches to chaos enemies it became super annoying and unfun compared to the enjoyable feel of fighting Zerging aliens. Though I will say alot of the special enemies are mega annoying unfun to play against like the lictor or the flying shielded things. Just like in overwatch no one likes shooting sheilds all day. The game really needed more ways to CC enemies but again I guess they want you to use the boring chainsword. So many of the Tyranid shooters are super annoying and cheese and would spawn in ways that make all the fights unfun. The coposition of the mobs is just horrible way too many bullet sponge elites that you can barely dodge all at once and then with this guys shooting you and dropping AOE poison all over the floor its just not fun.

Again the guns feel awful when they should feel powerful, a space marine bolter is akin to a rapid fire rocket launcher in reality, therefore no biological creature should be able to run through your bullets unhindered by its firepower. The game has this spongey lack of feedback feel thats just not good. When I fire a bolter accurately at a biological creature its head should be ripped clean off and there should be huge holes in any creature I fire at unless its armoured. So many times it feels like unless your using a special your guns do nothing. Which is not Space Marine and not 40k.

Overall dont get me wrong I love 40k and have for a long time but this just isnt right and for a game that relies on repeating content over and over I cant see me let alone a person outside of the 40k fandom to ever keep this game in their regular rotation. This game needed to be more like HellDivers 2 and less like Halo and my hope for improvement is pretty low as again as mentioned the core of the game seems to be running on a very poorly coded platform that is slow with trash netcode that does not facilitate the great multiplayer game this could have grown into.

For me this game is disappointing in many obvious ways but what has been made clear to me is that 40k becoming a main stream multiplayer game is very much possible and needs to happen. Lets learn from this game and make that happen in future with a more serious long term approach because what we have here is not built to last whether its made good money or not.

For the Imperium Eternally.

PS. how can you have all these great units in the game like the dreadnaught carnifex and there is no mode/way to play as them literally money down the drain...? It could have been as simple as getting in a tank like in Halo 1 ... fire this design team please god.

Also I must mention Tyranid blood is not red I can see how they got confused here given they are often covered in red blood that blood is human blood of the victims the ate.

MAKE BOLTERS GREAT AGAIN
