Hey everyone! I’m diving into the Space Marine 1 game, which is my first experience with the franchise, but after about 20 minutes of gameplay, I’m feeling pretty lost. What videos or content do you recommend I check out to grasp the context and lore behind this game? Any help would be super appreciated!

Welcome to the Warhammer 40k universe! You might want to check out some lore videos to get a deeper insight. A good one is by Luetin09 on YouTube. He covers a lot of background information and is pretty entertaining! Also, if you’re looking for resources, definitely read through the Getting Started guide for newcomers—it’s packed with useful info!
If you have two hours to spare, there’s a great video I found: [check this out](https://youtu.be/jj3-5D9Xx2s?feature=shared). It gives an overview without spoiling anything for Space Marine 1 and 2. Just a heads up on the title though!
To really understand what’s happening in Space Marine 1, you should know that you’re fighting on a Forgeworld. This place is crucial because it produces weaponry for the Imperium. The Imperium’s forces, mainly made up of regular human soldiers known as the Imperial Guard, are trying to fend off an invasion from the Orks—big, green aliens who thrive on warfare. The Space Marines, who are these genetically engineered powerhouse soldiers, come into play because the Guard is getting overwhelmed and the Forgeworld is essential to the Imperium’s war effort. Plus, there’s an impressive war machine called an Imperator Titan that absolutely cannot fall into Ork hands!
Thanks for breaking that down! It makes a lot more sense now.
Awesome, just wanted to make sure it won’t ruin the story for me!
