Reviews for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 were published a day before the early access launch for owners of the game's expanded editions. The action game's average score on Metacritic stands at 84 out of 100, based on 33 reviews.

Most journalists described Space Marine 2 as a fantastic third-person shooter that will surely appeal to fans of the genre, especially those who love the Warhammer 40,000 universe. The game offers everything needed for several hours of exciting gameplay: intense action, a dark setting, an incredible soundtrack, and a great storyline.

Many reviewers called Space Marine 2 a successful and logical sequel. The developers made an effort to improve every aspect of the first game, with a greater focus on gameplay.

Space Marine 2 delivers brutal battles and delights with its grim scenes. The action creates an amazing first impression, but by the end of the campaign, due to a lack of variety, it can become a bit monotonous. The game can be completed in 7-8 hours on normal difficulty.

Several reviewers emphasized that the action really shines in co-op mode. According to them, playing in cooperative modes is much more enjoyable than playing solo.

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is set to release on September 9 for PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PS5. Owners of the Gold and Ultra editions can start playing on September 5.
