There’s no doubt that theWarhammer 40k: Space Marine 2‘s player base has been pleased of late. Developer Saber Interactive has overhauled most of the weapons in the title after nerfs saw the title get review-bombed to oblivion. The community even joined hands to fight off new in-game operations.
However, things are starting to heat up again. Recently, there’s been a surge of complaints againstSpace Marine 2‘s parry system, which players find to be too difficult to comprehend. But this system is nothing but a piece of cake forBloodborneandSekiroplayers who’ve handled the worst in Hidetaka Miyazaki’s creations!
Space Marine 2Community Believes Parry System is Busted
The majority of the Tryanids inSpace Marine 2rely on melee attacks to fight their enemies. While many might try to strike an enemy before they can attack, facing so many Tyranids at once can lead to damage from all sides. Players can try dodging but parrying incoming attacks is the best way to turn the tide in their favor.

Parrying attacks inSpace Marine 2is undoubtedly one of the best ways to deal with enemies and can help you lead a steady supply of health. However, it doesn’t come without its own issues. For parrying attacks, you need to master your timings; otherwise, you’ll fail hard.
For hardcore players, that shouldn’t be an issue if they’re putting consistent hours into the game. However, for casual players, learning how to parry can prove to be quite troublesome. Over on the game’s official subreddit, one player had to go out of their way and craft a guide on how one can perfectly parry attacks inSpace Marine 2.
However, if you’re someone who has played FromSoftware and Hidetaka Miyazaki’sBloodborneandSekiro, regardless of whether you’re a casual or hardcore player, you won’t sweat parrying attacks inSpace Marine 2.
InBloodborne, parrying comes down to firearms, and precise time is required to reel enemies during their attacks. It’s truly a test of quick reflexes and understanding the enemy patterns. On the other hand,Sekiro‘s parry system is integral to the game since it requires split-second decisions to block and counter enemies using katanas.
It isn’t just limited toBloodborneandSeikro; the majority of the other Souslike games, such asDark Souls,Elden Ring, andLies of Pi, feature parrying systems that are tough to master. TheSpace Marine 2community should be thankful that Saber hasn’t gone to those lengths to increase difficulty in the game.

On its arrival, itbecame the fastest-selling title for Saber Interactive, which is the same studio that has given us games such asWorld War ZandJurassic Park Survival.
While it’s great to see the game getting the attention it truly deserves, it must also maintain the new standards set by Saber. The studio is alreadyplanning for the future successor, so it’s not afraid of what lies ahead.
