HELLDIVERS™ 2

Really loved this game, but the devs broke it and refuse to fix it. Stratagems bounce, hellpods spawn nowhere near the beacon, we paid for upgrades for better hellpod steering and now can't steer at all, weapon balancing is all over the place, instead of nerfing weapons they started buffing all enemies. Game is thoroughly ruined.

I’ve played over 2,000 hours across multiple accounts, and I own Helldivers 2 on both PlayStation and Steam. Most of my time is on PS5 Pro, and from that perspective, this game absolutely earns five stars. It looks great and runs very well. Playing on a VRR television, I rarely notice frame rate drops. Occasionally, the most chaotic, explosive scenes cause a brief dip, but those moments are the exception in my experience. The gameplay is what keeps me coming back. Helldivers 2 blends military satire, tactical combat, and horde shooter chaos in a way I love. There’s room to coordinate carefully, experiment with different loadouts, or just enjoy the absurdity of a mission going sideways. Learning how to make different weapons and equipment work is a huge part of the fun. I enjoy solo missions, QuickPlay with randoms, and playing with friends. The best experiences are with friends or people on comms who want to work together without taking everything too seriously. Sometimes you pull off an incredible save. Sometimes you accidentally blow yourself up and everyone laughs. Both are reasons I keep playing. Yes, there are technical glitches. Some longstanding issues are annoying, and some updates introduce things that need fixing. Those deserve criticism. But in my experience, they haven’t outweighed the fun or made the game unplayable. After more than 20 years of gaming, I don’t find the overall experience unusually troubled compared with other games I’ve played. If you only followed certain Reddit discussions and negative YouTube videos, you might think Arrowhead hates its players and the game is falling apart. That is wildly disconnected from my actual experience playing it. I can recognize its problems without treating every inconvenience as a catastrophe. Five stars doesn’t mean flawless. It means I enthusiastically recommend it. From this PS5 Pro player’s perspective, Helldivers 2 is an excellent game that’s still giving me plenty of reasons to drop into another mission.

Devs don’t care about the players

This game is really great BUT. The devs at arrowhead games are really bad they can’t balance their game .

The devs know what the players want. Sony knows what the players want. None of you want to give us that. Arrowhead is another name on a long list of developers that are completely ignoring their fans, and seem to actively work against us. I know you're not stupid, it won't take much to figure out what the problem with this once great game is...

Proud to be a Helldiver

I absolutely love this game! It's even better when you have a few friends or real time players to play with. Looking forward to a lot more content to play.

I decided to give it a 2nd chance since launch, but the monetization scheme is absolutely insane. It feels like a mobile free-to-play game. You get one of each type of weapon, but the vast majority of them are behind a paywall. Skins are one thing, but the most weapons and game items? Insane. So i figure do the free route, i'm fine with grinding. But this isn't a normal grind. You basically can't play the game for fun- and get super credits/medal to unlock most of the content. They make it as painful as possible and slow drip to try to get you to pay up. I estimate that it'll take a thousand hours ish to get most of it. Nah. So I paid for a game (that should be free to play) for the honor of sampling a small part of the game? Feels super scammy. It's sad, this game has so much potential, but It feels like you're playing the husk of a game, and you have to pay hundreds extra to enjoy it all. Nope, I'm done. And not buying Arrowheads future games. I feel ripped off.
