Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 isn't just the game of the summer, it's the Game of the Year.

Diehard fans will love it, new fans will adore it.

The Adeptus Mechanicus at Saber Interactive have earned the Omnissiah's blessing by ensuring that Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 appeases The God-Emperor's followers. The latest quest of Captain Demetrian Titus against the Tyranids will quench the yearnings of the bloodthirsty, the warhungry, and those who seek to purge the Tyranids and the Forces of Chaos.

Gamer Guides - Nathan Garvin - 77 / 100

Visceral combat, excellent set pieces, and plenty of Warhammer 40,000 fanservice, but is there enough launch content to satisfy less die-hard fans?

Gert Lush Gaming - Jim Smale - 9.4 / 10

Every Warhammer game recently has raised the bar of quality and this has exceeded all those before it, Even if you do not like Warhammer 40k, it is a fun solid shooter.

Glitched Africa - Marco Cocomello - 9 / 10

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 offers a thrilling campaign and an engaging post-game grind mode. However, the limited number of Operations missions and the lack of replay value in the campaign may hinder the game’s long-term appeal. Despite these flaws, the game’s authenticity and exhilarating action make it a must-play for fans of the genre. It is 2024’s much-needed blockbuster

Nexus Hub - Andrew Logue - 8 / 10

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is a polished, respectful and epic sequel with exciting gameplay – but also one that loses some of its predecessor’s simple charm and humour.

Pixel Arts - Sina Farahani - Persian - 8 / 10

if you enjoy shooting and action games, value character customization, appreciate small-scale 12-player online competitions, and miss the 8-10 hour story campaigns of the 7th generation, this game might be worth the $70 price tag—especially if you're a fan of the Warhammer 40K universe. Created by fans for fans, the game successfully delivers on its promise, despite a few minor technical issues. If the atmosphere of the Warhammer 40K world appeals to you, you're in for an exciting experience.

Prima Games - Enzo Zalamea - 9 / 10

Warhammer 40K Space Marine is a brilliant hack-and-slash action-adventure shooter with three defining game modes to lure in all types of players. While there is a game mode for everyone, everything boils down to the gruesome brutality of what a Space Marine brings to the table.

The Outerhaven Productions - Jordan Andow, Keith Mitchell - 4 / 5

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II was a blast from start to finish. Only held back by a limited accessibility offering and some technical issues.

---

VideoGamer - Craig Robinson - 8 / 10

Space Marine 2 is a solid successor to Space Marine, fits well into the Warhammer universe, and offers engaging and fun action combat and shooting mechanics. It is slight marred by a limited map pool creating repetitiveness in the game's multiplayer progression-based features.

---

XboxEra - Jesse Norris - 9.2 / 10

Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine 2 is an amazing, epic ride through a glorious hellscape.  Visceral combat is matched by stunning graphics to create a title that never relents in being as over the top as possible.  It is one of my favorite titles of the year so far, and one I cannot wait to dive back into as post-launch content starts to stream in.

Zoomg - Afshin Piroozi - Persian - 7.5 / 10

Overall, despite some issues, Space Marine 2 is a very valuable game for two groups of players: first, those who love the Warhammer universe and will greatly enjoy immersing themselves in the game’s world; and second, gamers who are interested in Co-Op experiences and can play Space Marine 2 with their friends. In this case, some of the game’s problems, such as AI weaknesses, are less noticeable. The brutal and bloody action, along with the appropriate atmosphere of the game’s world and the Operations mode, are other positive features of the game. If you enjoy exciting action titles, you will probably also greatly enjoy Space Marine 2.

It seems the general direction the internet is going and I'm all for it

A bit sad their next game is on hiatus, but I'm happy for them. I assume they'll be working on Deadlock since it's sort of similar to Risk of Rain 2.

Today’s game is Red Dead Online. Me and a friend climbed a mountain we climbed a while ago (I may have actually shared that screenshot before). We figured out we could ride the others horse. So we rode from Ambarino where we were Wagon Surfing and decided to scale the mountain again and take a picture. This was somewhere in the West Elizabeth Region by Strawberry. I later threw us down a cliff and killed us both on my horse (all in good fun).

Since I'm a WoW addict, naturally I'm a Blizzard fan, of sorts. But my mind is blown every time I see anything from Call of Duty on the launcher. I've been really out of the loop, and recently saw this.... and I'm shocked. You have to BUY the game for "open beta access", like how does that make any sense? Also, the general look of the game and its marketing now looks like a $5 ripoff FPS game on Steam... What the heck happened?

I'm curious about which types of math games are most ideal for children in terms of both fun and learning. As someone who enjoys playing math games on Math Playground, I'm interested in hearing recommendations and experiences from other parents, educators, or game enthusiasts.

As spotted by Windows Central, though, Jyamma CEO Jacky Greco later went into additional detail on Discord. Following a community manager's statement dismissing speculation the studio had been "paid by Sony", Greco shared his own frustrations relating to the delay. "You can ask Xbox why they haven't answered us for two months," he wrote. "Obviously they don't care about Enotria and they don't care about you... We've Xbox Series X/S version ready, but we can't proceed with submission and release, I spent a lot of money for porting and they decided to ignore us."

A similar statement also appeared on Enotria's X/Twitter feed. After a fan inquired about the "main challenge" holding up release, Jyamma wrote, "Communication with Xbox. The game works fine on Series S and X but we cannot go through the submission process and they can take even two months to reply to us."

Greco later shared a little more on the issue the studio had enountered, explaining it was unable to open Enotria's Xbox store page and submit the game - something Microsoft's support teams reportedly initially took responsibility for, before further communications were ignored. "We really want to release the game on Xbox ASAP," Jyamma added elsewhere, "but with lack of communication on their side it is a hard task indeed."

The suggestion seems to be things might be resolved pretty quickly if Jyamma could get a response from Microsoft, but in the meantime, Enotria: The Last Song will only be available for PlayStation 5 and PC when it launches on 19th September.

Today's game is FF XIV. I didn't do much today except play some FF XIV. i took this screenshot right outside Ul'dah after doing the Copperbell Mines quest.

Changes that should have been there from the start, but at least they listened in the end. Being able to skip the long animations of each fight is a godsend.

I knew it was bad but this is hilariously bad.

I have a question(s) regarding the various types of game controllers.

I need a wireless controller which supports PC (Steam Linux mainly and maybe Windows someday). While searching online, I see various types

1. xbox/ps5/switch controllers : These are for their respective consoles
2. Mobile/PC controllers : These usually connect via wire/bluetooth/2.4 GHz

Source: https://www.gamesir.hk

However, I see in the product specifications page of the console controllers that they also support PC. And the PC controllers sometimes support some of the consoles. The only real difference between controllers, from a technology perspective, is that is some of them support bluetooth/2.4 GHz.

So I have two questions:

1. If they are already cross-compatible, why even bother having different types?
2. How should I decide which type of controller I should buy? It should support PC, console-support is not essential.

Note: I am a novice in game controllers but aware of different network stacks.

Edit: Thanks for the amazing response! These are my key takeaways from all the comments

1. Hall-effect sensors are a must
2. Default console controllers usually have stick drift
3. If you need trackpad, take PS5
4. 8bitdo is a reliable brand, as per multiple responses
5. Most controllers have good support on Linux. But haptic feedback can be a hit/miss as it can be platform/game dependent
6. There are various connectivity wireless standards. Dongles are the most reliable but you lose a USB port.
7. Keep track of handsize/comfort and button layout
8. PS controllers have excellent support on Linux/Steam

The game is Sea of Thieves. Me and a friend did a Skeleton Camp, and after getting the treasure from the room in the screenshot above (worth 20k), we were attacked by these guys who rammed us. They sank our ship before we could get back on, so i spawned the ship back in, raced to pick up my friend. Then i sailed past the outpost, my friend jumped off to sell it while i sailed away as a distraction. Then once all our stuff was sold we hit anchor and attacked them. For a galleon manned by 2 guys, i think we did really well. We still lost but they took on a ton of water and after they sank our ship we went for the old bucket strategy and started filling it with water. It was a lot of fun. Whoever that crew was i owe them thanks for giving us an adventure.
