[1][2][3] Several reviewers criticize the price, calling it too high for what is essentially a texture pack. [4][5][6] Some players report performance issues like stuttering and crashes, especially compared to the original. [7][8][9]

For context, I have 100% of the achievements in this remaster, and it took me over 85 hours to do. For the TLDR, I cannot help but feel that this game was an attempt to ride the success of Space Marine 2, rather than a meaningful game in its own right. I think the UI is considerably worse than the original, and for the multiplayer achievements, the player count is so low that I had to buy the game for my friends so …

I cannot believe they considered "modernized UI" as taking everything that made the original UI 40k aesthetic away. They changed the standard bolter sound to subsonic integrated suppressed gun sound (NOT GOOD) with absolutely NO BOLTER CRACK OR CHUNK OOMPH TO IT!!! WHY! YOU KEPT THE BOLT PISTOL BUT NOT THE BOLTER! And dear god the aliasing is worse than original, especially cutscenes like how, the original game …

TL;DR: Get it if it's under $10, turn on V-Sync to prevent crashes; have some fun. I picked this up on a big sale after putting over 200 hours into Space Marine 2. I wanted to see the origin story of Captain Titus from this game. I knew it was old, and I saw a ton of complaints in the reviews, so I was a bit wary going in. I was expecting dated gameplay that I'd just have to suffer through to enjoy the story. So I …

It's Space Marine 1 made to run on modern computers. With some higher resolution textures. That's it. As usual, Steam reviews are full of complaints about performance and stability. Also as usual, I didn't have any issues. Game runs great, zero crashes, zero meaningful bugs. Looks and sounds better than the original. I honestly have no idea what people must be doing to their computers to be having all these …

I have a 10 year old system with a GeForce GTX 1080 (8GB) and I never crashed once or had a tough time running the game from start to finish. I've played the original Space Marine on this same system and I think the Master Crafted Edition ran BETTER. So ... I have no idea why the negative reviews are having issues but I had absolutely none. P.S. Praise the emperor!

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Even for the discounted price, it's still asking for a lot. I genuinely see no reason to buy this. More people play anniversary, and to call it *master crafted* is a bit much considering what you're getting. Had a gut feeling from the get go this was gonna be sh*ite. Stick with the anniversary, more people play it so you can find matches, and it runs better as well. Seriously, no difference other than some increased lighting. Stupid of me to buy I know but at least I can say steer clear of…

The current vibe is thinking about Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun! ngl Boltgun was a tough game 😤 the game was filled to the brim with thrilling combat, and the levels were fun to explore, it was an awesome game!

neutral · AI labelView post →The original is objectively superior in every aspect but graphics, so if you aren't a graphics hoe, you should probably pick that one up instead. Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine - Mastercrafted Edition is the same 2011 game we all know and love, with a few caveats. The first is a moderate reworking of colour palettes and character models to look more 'new', but this doesn't do much for the overall look of the game besides making it feel like a PS4 title rather than a PS3 one. The Ork models…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Awful optimization and stutters. When the original version runs perfectly, the remaster runs like crap. This is not a remaster - this is a joke! Don't waste any penny for this embarrassment.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Despite being verified for Steam Deck at the end of July, an update in the last few weeks has caused the game to crash on launch when played on SteamOS. Can't really recommend the game if I can't play it the way I planned to.

Go buy the Anniversary Edition instead. https://store.steampowered.com/app/55150/Warhammer_40000_Space_Marine__Anniversary_Edition/ Yes, both cost the same but AE actually has a small but dedicated playerbase and it doesn't take up 43 gigs of space on your computer. I hate to be dismissive of MCE because the high res textures and remastered sounds are good but that's all I can compliment…

Half-assed "upgrades" and random changes to make it at least look somewhat different from the orignal, and then slap and almost full-price tag on it. There's honestly no way this remaster is an improvement on the original. Texture upgrade? Maybe, but it seems patchy as to where they actually upgraded it. The characters'…

DO NOT BUY THIS EDITION BUY THE OTHER ONE, this rehash was a cash grab and they should be ashamed of it. I'm annoyed i cant refund this game, i got straight up scammed into thinking it was a new and improved version that could run with modern systems. The only way to play this game is to cap your FPS in Nvidia Control Panel or equivalent to 60. There is a sequence of the story…

You'll enter areas that clearly haven't been given much love, with dull, repetitive textures, that feel jarring with the much improved character models. The biggest problem is that the game without fail will crash on Chapter 9: The Weapon, in the transition between the Valkyrie to bridge section. The way around this was to…

neutral · AI labelView post →A very poorly remastered game doing the bare minimum. Ran decently on Linux (albeit crashing fairly often), but is no longer playable on Linux/Steam Deck since Patch 5 on August 11th, which ironically made the game Steam Deck Verified. Huge L on Steam & SneakyBox/Relic. I recommend buying one of the older versions of this game if you really want to experience the story, or just play Space Marine 2 for multiplayer.

The minor improvements that have been brought to this package do not really justify the price tag as the previous version is still great and playable to this day.

There are a lot of negatives, unfortunately. The UI is terrible. In the original, everything was bold and heavy here, it's all tiny and narrow. The weapon sounds are a joke. The bolter, which had proper boom-boom sounds in the original, is now just a water pistol. The character voice acting is still out of sync. Everything has…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →buggy. honestly looking at comparisons between the OG and this 'remake' I think the OG looks better. they only put on upscaled textures but didn't put any work to make it actually work so it looks very offputting. It's like when u play games designed for crt monitor but on LED screen upscaled to 4k and so the game looks like ♥♥♥♥ cause it wasn't meant to be played that way.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have the original game on GOG so I played a bit of both side by side. This version did make some improvements I could perceive in terms of graphics, audio, updated modern controller schemes, etc, but such improvements were so marginal that this should have been a free update for people who already own the previous versions, or at most a paid DLC you can turn on and off, since people were also upset about some changes.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Brand new Warhammer fan here. Started with Darktide, went to Space Marine 2, felt like I was missing context, so went to Space Marine. The game does look better than its 2011 counterpart (or its later definitive edition or whatever). However, I will tell you right now, it is NOT worth the $40 price tag. There is a bug that was present in the original game, where the game will just flat out crash consistently at the end of a certain cutscene (actually more than one from my research, but it…
