fun fun fun fun fun, with a super fun surface level plot given gravitas by the actors involved, though Mark Strong keeps a constant sotto voce that really goes against the absolute hell going on around you
never really rises to the power fantasy one wants when playing a space marine game, but the combat puzzle is actually pretty fun, requiring some positioning and resource management. this pre-dates doom 2013 so the glory kills aren't invulnerable, which really makes things 'damned if you do, damned if you don't', though the Rage mechanic feels made just right where it's not a crutch but it's there when you need it.
looks just right for a 2011 game as well, runs well, pre-borderless windowed but oh well.

glad I finally beat this so I can play SM2

Crunchy, bloody, Warhammer fun for all ages (not suitable for children).

really gets you into the lore of warhammer 40k, fun gameplay, good game to get into if you want to have fun with one of the most popular factions of warhammer but don't have the time for an actual game with figurines.
