Warhammer 40.000: Space Marine Games Series

Can't seem to find the answer anywhere. Wouldn't want anything to change crazily gameplay wise, but like UI options, disabling some screen effects, etc. Anyone know?

I'm currently working my way up to difficulty 3/4. Randoms are a mixed bag, so I'm looking for people to play with. I'm 40, but I can also seem like 16, if necessary.

>Reactions have been wonderful to see as a longtime 40K dork. One such example, Forbes writer and Destiny 2 know-it-all Paul Tassi posting his reaction to seeing cyborg cherubs and candle-lit rooms, is a lovely reminder of all the dark and rich flavour that floods the senses in 40K media. Space Marine 2 is a full of that, and I hope it opens the door for brave journeys into even stranger depths found within the canon.

>Make no mistake, Warhammer is full of all sorts of dope, intriguing stuff. Saber Interactive did an excellent job introducing us to a slice of the IP through the lens of the Ultramarines, which is a smart choice. Not only are they the most vanilla of space marine chapters, they're also the poster boys. Big blue dudes that are jacks of all trades. But there are other chapters that make them seem bland in comparison. The Blood Angels are space vampires. Dark Angels are space knights, and the Space Wolves are, you guessed it, space vikings that may or may not turn into wolves themselves.

>Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 left advanced access yesterday, launching to the masses while squashing an attempted review bomb campaign under its muddy blue-and-gold boots. But that's not its only impressive feat.

>There are a lot of Warhammer games, too many to list here. But if you're interested in the top ten most-played titles across the franchise's history, here's a quick rundown:

>1. Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 - 225,690 >1. Total War: Warhammer 3 - 166,754 >1. Total War: Warhammer - 113,019 >1. Warhammer 40,000: Darktide - 108,395 >1.

Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide - 24,70

>At the time of writing, Space Marine 2 is the ninth-most played game on Steam over the past 24 hours, dethroning Grand Theft Auto 5, Deadlock, Rust, Baldur's Gate 3, Stardew Valley, and more.

>At the time of writing, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 has an all-time Steam peak of 225,690 players. In comparison, Total War: Warhammer 3 has an all-time peak of 166,754.

>Total War: Warhammer 3, which was released back in 2022, once held the record for all-time peak player numbers for a Warhammer game. It now sits in second place. 2016's Total War: Warhammer, meanwhile, has a concurrent player peak of 113,019.
