TA review for Space Marine 2 wasn't that great. Says it's very noticeable that the game is meant to be played in co-op and thus the single player is lacking.
My "hype" definitely went a bit down after readings this.

Even when you're playing solo, you have 2 AI teammates at all times. Similar to something like Gears of War.

Not sure what exactly is lacking though. I'm having a great time. If it was purely just myself playing with no teammates, then yeah I could definitely see the argument that the game pushes you to play co-op. But I haven't gotten that feeling at all outside of the opening mission because it's used as a tutorial. 

I know it has AI teammates. I just repeated what I read on TA (=first and only review that I saw):

"It's held back by irritating AI companions and a campaign optimized for co-op, leaving an un-balanced experience for solo players"

Gears of War is an excellent solo game as well as an excellent co-op game. However, many games that also have AI teammates are quite poor when playing solo. That was my fear.
