Listen Later

Tristan and Oliver strap into their jetpacks and hope they don’t run out of fuel, as they hack Relic Entertainment’s sci-fi epic Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine into these three bits:

  1. Hordes of Fun - Fun in numbers; the joy of ploughing through enemy hordes and how the game capitalises on this;
  2. Takedown Heal - The execution mechanic and the game’s health design;
  3. Fictional World - The strong focus on gameplay and its effect on the believability of the worldbuilding;
