    “After thirteen years, Space Marine is finally back, and it delivers on almost every front – more grisly gore, huge swarms of enemies, and, crucially, incredibly robust combat mechanics.”

    “Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun is an excellent retro shooter that, to both its benefit and detriment, doesn't take risks. The repetitive bosses and poor communication to the player might turn some people away.”

    “You’d be forgiven for seeing yet another Warhammer 40,000 strategy game and writing it off as another example why handing your IP out to anyone with the most basic coding ability is a bad idea.”
