Key Takeaways
- Space Marine 2 launched to advanced access last week and was immediately review bombed, dropping to 'Mixed' on Steam.
- The backlash came about because the game quietly installed the Epic Online Service, which isn't a second launcher, just a tool that allows for cross-platform play.
- Thankfully, the review bomb was short-lived as the game now sits at an impressive 'Very Positive' with over 30,000 reviews.^[[1] https://www.thegamer.com/warhammer-40k-space-marine-2-review-bomb-fails-launches-to-very-positive-steam/]
