“Still holds up by today's standard. Combat is surprisingly dynamic and the fact that most, if not all cut scenes, are in the real game world and not some BS fancy CGI rendered cut scene is very refreshing.”
“My first Wahammer game. So yeah, it's another Gears of War clone but without a cover system. You fight Orks for 80 percent of the game and then palette swaps of Space Marines and Demons for the rest. Makes you kind of…”
“A great old-school fun. I did not expect to like it as much as I did but there is some nostalgic magic to these Gears of War-likes that I guess I missed in my life. 40k'ayness is executed on a great level. I expect most…”

“Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine is an overall fun game. I liked the story, even though I don't know much about the Warhammer lore. The game ran well, and the only bug I encountered was an occasional NPC running in place.…”
“By now it's a 15 year old game that hasn't aged all too well. Sometimes there are bugs. Sometimes there are poor design choices in level and gameplay. Sometimes there are no checkpoints for vast sections of the game.…”
“Give you a nice back story to Titus for the next game in his story space marines 2 and understand the mis trust they have towards them but a great game to get introduce the warhammer 40k universe”

“Old but still playable, still looks good, ocasional game crashes and issues with v-sync but can be finished. The only thing I didn't like are checkpoints, sometimes there is a lot to do again when you die, a bit…”
“Wonderful art design and world building. The campaign is engaging and the gameplay holds up. There are moments that feel properly challenging, but deserved. A necessary play for any Warhammer 40k fan.”

“Fun game, a lot like the sequel. Keeps introducing new weapons and power-ups. Killing space orks is cool and the latter half introduces a new enemy (like the sequel did). Not very long but doesn't overstay its welcome.”
“campaign is short and sweet, the control are a bit janky at time and the interaction with the environment too but it's expected from a game that age but the action is nice.”
“short sweet game in warhammer universe”

“This game holds up extremely well. It was a great introduction into the Warhammer world and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Some sections are hard, but not unreasonable.”

“the plot of this is that you're an invincible badass and you gotta do some killing about it the gameplay is also that overall it's a mediocre spectacle shooter, the first 90 minutes seems desperate to show new things…”

“7/10 - A old school shooter set in the Warhammer 40k universe. Honestly, I've had this game for almost 15 year and played it because I'm interested in playing the second game. It's short and decent. It can make you feel…”
“The Emperor recommends. Campaign short though and not that many abomination variety.”
“The grimdark future needs saving (again), the story's interesting, the tone and the atmosphere do the WH40k universe justice, the visuals are good. The combat is unfortunately very mediocre, not too difficult although…”

“It's a fun game, many mechanics to explore, intentional or unintentional. The skill ceiling is pretty high, but the game is definitely easier to understand from the start than space marine 2. I'd say it's pretty fun throughout most stages of progressing, doesn't get boring much.…”

— a player, Steam review · 10 hrs played“I played Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine some time ago after first getting into the universe through the Dawn of War series. This was one of the first games that really tried to bring Warhammer 40K into a third-person action format, and for its time it did a solid job at that.…”
