A game with highest highs and lowest lows

Helldivers II is such an interesting case, it's a more arcade like take on the gameplay from MGSV with it expanding on some systems that game didn't do well. It's environmental storytelling is laced a lot of subtleties and political satire, but it's done as organically as a multiplayer can do where you're just spoonfed the politics of Super Earth and people's day to day lives while having a very slight hint of "oh, that doesn't sound good but I won't question it, there's a war going on"

The most fun I've had in a co-op game.

This game is so much fun, it's easy to pick up and play whenever I want. I have personally spent almost 500 hours playing this game. There is enough diversity in enemy weapons and mission types to not get bored. And you don't need to have lots of friends who play the game with quick play option, join a random squad and fight for freedom and democracy this way. There's never a dull moment in Helldivers 2, from being blown up by a missile and thrown into a landmine, or having an epic salute for super earth while raising the flag of democracy.

Helldiver's 2 is easily one of the best multiplayer shooters around and arguably the best game released this year. With friends it takes the experience to another level. Highly recommended 👍

What a wonderful game!

Helldivers 2 is a fantastic, tactical squad-based sci-fi shooter! It eases you into the game and teaches you what you need to look out for on each mission. Once you've got used to the basics, you can ramp up the difficulty and this enables you to face harder enemies and earn higher rewards. This game is fun on your own, but it really comes alive when you team up with your mates to take down the hordes of bugs and automatons that need defeating. There are loads of upgrades and content to unlock through clearing missions and ranking up. All of the upgrades and new weapons bring a new edge to the game and help each squad member choose their own playstyle. The developers add new content and campaigns all the time so there's plenty to stick around and play every month. My play time dropped off once I'd earned the platinum trophy for it (which was a great challenge), but I'm sure I'll be back later to see what is new. Well done Arrowhead Game Studios, this was a great time!

Hell to dive

If they didn’t keep nerfing all the guns you could learn what to kill the chargers with. Drives me mad. Okay when I play with 3 mates but hate it on my own. Level 10 now, why ??

Bug and Bot squishing fun

The game caters for players of all skill levels. You can tailor the difficulty so it is right for you, meaning you can enjoy the game and have fun without being forced to sweat in the higher difficulties. The satire throughout is hilarious and being half the price of most games it is worth a pick up.

They keep removing the fun

I had loved this game for over 160 hours, but found myself getting so frustrated with each patch that came along. They started off with some great primary weapons, but then with each patch, they reduce the effectiveness of certain primary weapons that are being used a lot, and say it is basically to give other primaries a chance. They release a warbond with a great weapon in, then they remove one of its traits which made it so fun to use. The game has zero elements of pvp yet we are faced with primary weapon nerfs as if the game was pvp. I genuinely cannot believe that they keep removing fun from the game with each attempt at balancing. It frustrates me so much because fundamentally the game is great, but i can't play a game where the dev team is sending out patches that are designed at removing fun aspects of the game. Make other weapons great and stop nerfing weapons into the ground in attempts at balancing as it isn't working and is driving gamers away.

Not today...

Amazing fun through launch, unlocking new gear and gameplay options with some incredible moment-to-moment excitement. Once that was done, though, this player found little reason to continue. The new warbonds rarely offer anything truly new or worthwhile to justify keep playing, and if something does come out hitting hard and breaking things it soon gets nerfed into mediocrity. The relatively small studio did a commendable job creating what is the framework for a masterpiece, but launching with a PC version alongside was clearly too much for them and a Sony flagship title should not play better and better look after PC users over the console faithful. PC users got the premium experience as the devs chased masses of bugs (not just the giant space-dwelling kind) and combatted rampant cheating (calling in unreleased stratagems, god mode, etc.) and hacking (data mining unreleased content - spoilers) on the system. PC users also get to collect samples stupidly easily, while console players fiddle about with awkward cursor alignment that, as someone who has a disability, makes the experience frustrating in the heat of battle. It was worth the money for the fun at launch, but if this is how Sony handle live games launching alongside PC versions and don't put 100% of their efforts into making the console experience as smooth and fun as possible, then there will be less incentive to engage in future. 12 million sales in a few months suggests an obvious course of action.

It's a fun game, but still not available to everybody

I love the game, Arrrowhead's done an AMAZING Job of this game and continues to keep updating it and making it more and more of a Joy to play! ...But I just wish Sony would reverse their decision of removing it from the Countries that couldn't get a PSN, cause that feels unfair for those from those Countries that love the game but can't play it. This isn't a negative towards the game, just Sony themselves and their "clever" decision to deny a good majority of the world from playing this game or even buying it, just because it had more players on PC than it did on the PS5. Love this game, thank you Arrowhead, Sony please let the rest of the world be able to play and buy this game again.
