Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine was more than just a game that spawned a remarkable sequel. It was a thoroughly entertaining third-person shooter that perfectly translated Games Workshop’s brutal IP into digital form. Dusting off 14 years of cobwebs and creakiness, the Master Crafted Edition makes the 2011 original look, sound, and play as close as possible to brand new. I don’t think those with the original or Anniversary Edition will regret picking it up, and it’s an absolute no-brainer for anyone who doesn’t already own the game.
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine – Master Crafted Edition, from developers SneakyBox and Relic Entertainment, feels too much like the Anniversary Edition released a few years back. While new gamers of the series might enjoy what this title has to offer, as it does bring some solid action that mimics the chaotic nature of the Warhammer world, seasoned fans of the series may not get enough out of this release to justify another purchase.
Honestly really fun. I’m assuming the original was great and the graphics on this are just way better. They look great. It just goes to black screen somewhat often and makes me restart from last checkpoint. Also skips during auto save most the time. Still very enjoyable.
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine es un juego muy fruto de su época. La historia es sencilla pero suficiente para dar contexto, con una ambientación brutal que hace justicia al universo 40K. El combate, aunque algo tosco por momentos, sigue siendo satisfactorio gracias a su mezcla de acción cuerpo a cuerpo y disparos. No innova, pero lo que hace, lo hace bien. Gráficamente cumple, aunque el remaster no sorprende. Su duración (unas 8 horas) es perfecta para una campaña intensa y rejugable. A falta de probar el multijugador, es un título que, sin destacar, sigue siendo divertido.
It's a relic worth checking out, but for those who just played the sequel, it might be a bit of a shock. The game works, but today's players have better options.
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine Master Crafted Edition is an adequate remaster that makes 2011’s third-person action game easier to play on modern machines while improving how it looks and sounds. None of its additions address the original’s fundamental issues, preferring to leave it largely as it was. Its flawed but fun campaign delivers plenty of visceral slaughter while its multiplayer is worth dipping into for a few matches every now and then, provided you don’t run into lag and find enough players to fill a lobby. It’s easy to see why the game became a cult classic, but for what it offers, the remaster’s price tag and the lack of an upgrade option or discount for existing owners are undoubtedly head-scratchers.
I have to wonder who this game is for. Other than raw nostalgia for this specific title, I can’t really think of a reason to recommend anyone play this. If you want to be a Space Marine, Space Marine 2 is amazing.
While Space Marine remains a must-play for WH40K fans, the Master Crafted Edition would've been better off as a paid upgrade to the existing Steam edition.
Very dated, if you're looking for a simple turn you brains of campaign i would say give it a go, but don't expect to be woo'd. It's basicly like a worse GOW
Summary Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine returns. Enhanced for a new generation! Enjoy quality of life & graphical improvements that take the Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine experience to the next level.
