Delight in the averageness of WARHAMMER 40,000: SPACE MARINE
Space Marine is the best game there is about being the chunkiest Mark Strong you can imagine, blowing up hordes of blocky green sarf Londoners across a brown sci-fi expanse. That may read as insincere, but it isn’t. Honestly, Warhammer 40,000 games have a tendency to be as average as it gets, and Space Marine is the most average of them all, and somehow this makes it brilliant in the exact way that anything you buy for four quid has the capacity to be brilliant.
Pro tip: don’t spend more than about four quid on Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine. If your Steam client is reading ‘£20’ then you’ve likely encountered the game in a rare interval between sales. Wait five minutes and try again.
