Warhammer 40k is overwhelming. The details of its universe have accrued over decades into something that seems unapproachably huge. It's still possible, though, to appreciate the surface elements of its aesthetic - to be compelled by the over-the-top charms of its towering and glowering armored soldiers, the candle-lit majesty of its gothic sci-fi structures, and its unabashedly grim vision of a far future characterized by never-ending war. This has made Warhammer 40k games an appealing proposition for the casual observer. Dipping a toe into the setting through a throwback shooter like Boltgun or the Dawn of War strategy series is easier than finding any other entry point. Spending a dozen or so hours soaking up its style and fiction is a good way to enjoy what 40k offers without needing to get fully invested. Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 is, theoretically at least, another compelling tour of this setting for the Warhammer curious.
