TheAnniversary Edition announcementlists all everything thrown in: basically, a few weapons then a load of stuff for the multiplayer mode, including chapter skins and maps and the opportunity to become aDreadnought. On the shinies side, you also get the full soundtrack, wallpapers, a ringtone, and other bits and pieces.
Space Marine captured quite how chunky and absurd the holy warriors are, able to shrug off bullets and cut through a dozen mook with a single swing of their chainsword. You really are a big stompy boy whose gun fires micromissiles. It’s not an amazing game, but it’s a Warhammer experience few others offer.
“Despite growing tired of its relentless sameness,” Alec Meer said in ourWH40K: Space Marine reviewback in the day, “I also kind of miss it now I’m not playing it anymore - it’s immensely satisfying to hammer and Lascannon your way through a small army then proudly pan an absurdly blood-splattered Titus around the now-empty room it all happened in.”
It is. Alec later celebrated Space Marine as one of those wonderfulperfectly average 7/10 action games.
