Short, but while it lasts it's a hell of a ride, and perfectly captures that fantasy of the Space Marine. You are fast, heavily armored, and walking death. It's pretty fun.
The game is a third person shooter that heavily requires utilization of both melee and ranged attacks to succeed. Ranged is useful for softening up an enemy horde charging you down as well as taking out enemy ranged units trying to pepper you. But many of your foes are melee and you will need to dish out to them as good as you get. The game gives you regenerating shields plus a health bar; you will enjoy having those regenerating shields in between combats. Health is harder to come by; you need to perform executions to regain it. However, unlike most games with a melee auto kill, in this one you don't go invincible when you do it, it lasts a good 2-3 seconds, and you don't get the health until the very end. So there's some very real risk in using it, and you really need to be playing smart, rather than going braindead.
The level aesthetics are amazing. They really capture what I've been imagining when I read my 40k fiction. The levels themselves are very linear; you're basically going from one fight to the next. But for a game like this that ends up not being a big deal. You get mission objectives which are the story reasons you need to murder everyone between point A and point B. But it never requires you to do anything more than activate a switch at point B. Which again, not a bad thing for what the game wants to be.
Oh, did I mention you sometimes get a jetpack? Those are definitely the best parts of the game. You jet up in the air, then can jet down and fuck the shit of anything you land on. Ludicrous gibs ensue.
