I don't compare this game to Darktide, I compare it to Vermintide 2 which I feel does a better job as maintaining the power fantasy even on higher difficulties. The core systems Space Marine 2 is built on is fine, unlike how Fatshark usually shits the bed at launch and has to spend ages fixing core systems, it's just all the shit they keep throwing on top of it that bogs it down and makes me less interested in SM3.
