How good is this really

To put it simply

This isnt just a Warhammer40k:Space marine pile of crap is it, its better not just a do over...?

First of all, Space Marine is a treasure by 40k video game standards.

The easiest way to describe Deathwing would be L4D but slower, with less maps and some slight balancing issues concerning certain enemies and weapons. On the plus side, you have more freedom in navigating the map compared to L4D, and there's a customization system. But at it's core, it's still a slow-paced horde shooter with tactical elements.

L4D is a sh!t shooter
Deathwing is a good shooter and a really good tactical game

I play tac-games all my life and there's been only a few titles in which coordinated movement and cover matter that much. The game is great, just slightly short on content.

Sale price is the sweet spot.

Absolute mediocrity.
Don`t waste your cash unless you can get it on discount.

If you like 40k, it's the best SPACE HULK game ever made. The art direction is the best in the series, and the gameplay is great. You'll enjoy it. Get it on sale for maximum value.

no. in reality, it is NOT a warhammer 40 K piece of ♥♥♥♥.

actually, it is SPACE HULK, the boardgame, except you play from an fps viewpoint as individual marines in real time.

One of the best 40K games you can buy. There are some people still sour that the developers didn't show up, knock on the door, and ask them what they personally wanted.

You can't go wrong with this game. I own it on PC and PS4 and have since day one. I still play this game all the time and can purchase anything I want. We were in it for hours agin this weekend in MP.

Absolutely agree. Space Marine is a great title.

Are you located in the US? I run Deathwing at some point every week on either PS4 or PC.

I've really enjoyed my time playing Deathwing so far. I don't know about playing the tabletop game but this FPS is a good one. Biggest guns I've ever shot have been in this game. Nothing else comes close. It's a real heavy metal kind of game along with the atmosphere. It has a good enough story line and the multiplayer is very enjoyable. The skill levels are very challenging and scale with your upgrades. It has some good replayability as 21 levels wait for you to beat them on the no mercy skill level - which is very hard. You need 4 skilled players to do this. Different classes make for different play styles. My only gripe about the game so far is there isnt any community mod support. Besides that, this game is excellent.

Okish in SP, but do not buy for MP, MP is long dead and abandoned, skip the game.

Dead on. I played the tabletop and love this. In MP I often run as an Apothecary with a Hellfire. And its needed since the enemies are more aggressive and vary from what you will find in certain points in the SP. I also love the Caliban lore they sprinkled throughout on monitors and such since the Dark Angels are my favorite Chapter. Praise the Lion :)

I can confirm that the multiplayer is NOT dead. The multi in this game has been some of the best I've had in any co-op shooter.

Spelling errors, flat arena gameplay, invincible squad ai, imbalanced weapons, boring swarms of enemies... but sure go on. Just saying.
