Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2 has received generally favorable reviews with a 77/100 on Metacritic.[6]
Tom Senior of PC Gamer awarded it a score of 84 out of 100, and said the game is "an absorbing space strategy game" and "one of the most authentic attempts to capture the grandiosity of Warhammer 40,000".[8]
Daniele Dolce of The Games Machine said: "There’s a lot of content here, but the many technical issues, the poor balancing between the twelve factions, and the many features missing from its direct predecessor make Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2 an underwhelming experience."[9][6]
Alexander Williams of Strategy Gamer summarized: "It’s a solid but not exceptional middle-of-the-road game with some UI hang-ups but a wide variety of factions and a solid amount of the old 40K charm."[10]
The game was included in Eurogamer's list of "The best Warhammer 40k games to play in 2022".[11] PC Gamer listed the game eight on its list of best Warhammer 40,000 games, calling it "a hell of a spectacle".[12]
