Warhammer 40,000 has no shortage of fantastic games based on its intense (and famously grim) lore. From visually stunning boomer shooters like Boltgun that call back to the genre’s origins, to strategy series like the Dawn of War trilogy that capture the epic scale of the franchise’s combat, gamers who love this over-the-top brand of sci-fi have their bases covered.
Among this massive pantheon of games, 2011’s Space Marine always felt like the title that never got its flowers for perfectly capturing the spirit of the fiction it’s based on. It wasn’t until its critically acclaimed sequel impressed players last summer that the original started to get some love, and this week, Sega is giving those fans a chance to revisit the gorey third-person shooter with a remaster that’s free on Xbox Game Pass.
