The thing about the 40k universe is that the point of no return when you're getting into it is pretty much straight out the gate. It's either you show no interest at all or if you even show the slightest curiosity, it starts drawing you in until you're in a dozen wiki pages and several dozens of novels deep. That's how great this universe is. This 30+ year-old franchise from the 80s is responsible for inspiring many hallmarks of sci-fi gaming, from starcraft to even doom! The main appeal of the universe is the aesthetic and theme behind it: it's basically sci-fantasy, with there being literal magic and demons, plus the medieval gothic look that humanity in this universe has, a race that's far more advanced than us but at the same time far more backwards, operating out of superstition and hatred.

Now if you'll let me nerd out 😂I'd like to help give you more context about the game/lore!: 4:28 That's the titular space marine. 7-8ft tall wearing hundreds of pounds of powered armor, wielding weapons nearly the length of an entire man. Yep, these guys are heavy. 5:03 Not a jet pack, it's the two stabilizing vents of the power pack, which powers the armor. Space marines get jet packs that they mount on top of the power pack (which you can see in the end scene) 5:21 Master of the watch, a title usually given to the captain of the 2nd company, whose job on top of commanding his company of marines is responsible for watching over his brotherhood's homeworld/s. 7:11 This game has a dynamic counter system where a marker appears near you when countering a leaping tyranid is possible. In combat, swarms of tyranids won't just go at you one by one, they'll try attacking you from multiple angles even while you're fighting other creatures. It's a great way of making the combat more interesting, and also highlights the superhuman ability of a space marine to sense and react to oncoming threats almost instantly. 10:21 That's the glorious WWZ swarm engine at work! 12:24 That's something fans were super happy to see revealed: The forces of chaos! Not to spoil much but, it won't just be aliens you'll encounter in this game...
