Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 Has taken the gaming world by storm and has depicted the violent 40 k Universe in all its glory. Gothic, cathedral-like structures filled with metal skulls float around space in a way that only ships in the Warhammer 40,000 universe can, and the fervent nature of the Space Marines in their fight against the Emperor’s enemies gave players something to get involved with, similar to the propaganda of Heldivers 2. It’s just as many imagine these Warhammer 40,000 Universe.
Space Marine 2 Wasn’t the first title that brought Space Marines to the forefront, but it has evolved all aspects of its predecessor. Titus, as well as several others, make a return, and the improved visuals are on full display with their character models. The combat is also tight, but it’s something Almost retro way Space Marine 2 Goes from gameplay to pre-rendered cutscenesAnd this is not the only aspect that Space Marine 2 Has taken from his predecessor to evolve and improve.
The Space Marine Squadron is better in Space Marine 2
Gadriel is better than Leandros
A part of that makes Space Marine 2 So fun is the squads that the Ultramarines put themselves in. For most of the game, Titus leads a squad of three Ultramarines that includes Chiron and Gadriel. While Chiron is fiercely and unrelentingly loyal to Titus, except for a moment of admitting their cool blood lust, Gadriel has his moments of doubt, as he realistically should. Titus does not adhere to the Codex Astartes as closely as many other Ultramarines and there are some places where he is held under suspicion due to his association with Chaos.

Gadriel is the more dubious member of the squadron, and it’s a good contrast to the Cheron to give him more personality. When compared to Leandros, Who is the by the books member of Titus Squad in Space Marine 1Gadriel has a bit of a bow. It’s not drastic, but he goes from sticking to the Codex Astartes harder and trying to betray Titus, who he doesn’t think too much of, to being ride-or-die for his squad leader, even stating that the Codex Astartes doesn’t support them very much. actions, but he’s looking forward to it anyway.
Leandros stays by the book from start to finish, and despite being the one to accidentally open a Chaos Gate in the first game, he still reports to Titus after he closes the gate and rectifies his mistake. He is shot by Sidonus, a veteran Ultramarine, however Titus reports to the Inquisition anyway, betraying his commander Because he can’t look past the Codex Astartes. He is a static character in the most stubborn way possible, while Gadriel remains more malleable to allow for a character arc.
Gadriel is the ride or the marine everyone wants
His suspicion turns into unrelenting loyalty
Gadriel remains suspicious of Titus throughout most of the story, due to his connection to the Deathwatch Blackshield, but When he discovers that his suspicions are unfounded, he asks his commander for forgiveness. The pair get over Gadriel trying to kill Titus very quickly, which makes sense because the game’s main campaign moves, only addressing it in Gadriel’s apology. From then on, he becomes stalwartly loyal, with Titus backing his strategy when he brings it to Calgar, Chapter Master of the Ultramarines.
on the other hand, Leandros becomes stalwartly suspicious of Titus, even after nearly two hundred years Between Space Marine 1 And 2. When he makes an appearance in Space Marine 2 As a chaplain for the Inquisition, he continues to hammer Titus with his suspicions. After two hundred years, one would think that Leandros would let this go, but it seems that his narrow-minded nature extends beyond just his interpretation of the Codex Astartes, and He can’t develop like Gadriel could.
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2Its predecessor went so it could runEven if that run took over a decade to come. In general, it’s nice to see ride-or-die characters together in a military setting, and it’s even better when that attitude is earned throughout the story. This is the case with Gadriel, who starts out obedient, but suspicious, and then turns into a stalwart, loyal figure with which many players resonate. That circle has made him a very likable character who doesn’t shine in a strong squad.
