Space Marine 2has been a hit since its release, and for good reason. The latestWarhammer 40Kgame combines brutal combat with strategic cooperation. But some players are complaining the game is too easy, while others argue that skillful gameplay naturally reduces the challenge.
The game has different difficulty settings, but even the hardest settings are being called out by some players for being “too easy”. But one fan took to Reddit to say that those who findSpace Marine 2too easy might not be using the game’s difficulty settings effectively or simply don’t understand the design choices by the devs.
Space Marine 2‘s Difficulty Is a Hot Debate Among Players
InSpace Marine 2, there are multiple difficulty levels, from Easy to Angel of Death for the campaign and from Minimal to Ruthless for co-op Operations. Some players argue that on lower difficulties, the game feels more like a power fantasy, allowing them to slice through hordes of enemies with ease.
What many don’t realize is that the difficulty scales based on co-op play. While Normal difficulty might feel well-balanced in single-player mode, adding another player lowers the challenge. If you want a more engaging experience, higher levels like Veteran and Ruthless push players to hone their skills and perfect teamwork.

Some of the complaints stem from players who have already progressed a lot further than the average player. Players with fully leveled gear and maxed-out classes say that even the highest current difficulty settings don’t feel punishing enough.
But at max level, the gameshouldfeel easier because you’ve earned that through progression. Complaining that the game isn’t hard enough when you’re maxed out with the best gear ignores the design of reward skilled and leveled while still offering a challenge to those who haven’t reached that point.
According to the official roadmap, Saber will introduce a “Lethal” difficulty tier in October 2024, which will take the challenge even further. So, if you’re one of the people who already find it too easy, sit tight.

Interestingly, the debate over difficulty also ties into the game’s larger theme of power fantasy. Space Marines are, after all, genetically enhanced super soldiers, and some fans feel that even on higher difficulty settings, the game doesn’t do enough to reflect that.
This balance between challenge and power fantasy is essential to theSpace Marinefranchise. Players want to feel like the superhuman warriors they’re meant to embody, but they also crave a sense of accomplishment.
And for those who have already leveled up and acquired the best gear, the game might feel a bit too easy, but that’s more a testament to their skill than a fault in the game design. Maybe it’s time toplay for fun while we waitfor the Lethal difficulty to come out.

In the end,Space Marine 2’s difficulty is a matter of perspective. For some, the game’s higher tiers offer just the right mix of challenge and reward, pushing players to strategize, improve, and adapt.
For now, players will need to find their own sweet spot in the game’s various difficulty levels as they carry out the Emperor’s will throughoutSpace Marine 2.
