I’ve played about ~25ish hours of this so far so I think that’s a fair amount to make a (at least temporary) review.
Believe the hype, Helldivers II is fucking rad. It’s no secret that i’m not much of a multiplayer gamer nowadays aside from the occasional fortnite match, but after i saw clips of Helldivers i just knew i had to cave in and see what the deal was, and god I wasn’t disappointed. The missions in this title are so chaotic and unbelievably fun, and the game is so inherently goofy that it’s hard to go 5 minutes without laughing so hard that you’re gasping for air. There’s no better feeling than queuing up with a buddy and taking down some bugs or robots. The core gameplay is really great too, i really love the movement (minus the sprint toggle because 50% of the time when i try to sprint my character just doesn’t wanna) and the gunplay. I was really torn between giving this a 4.5/5 or a 5/5 but i think the game really just needs some more enemy and mission variety as well as transportation methods like buggies for larger missions like ICBM’s, but apparently those are all coming in future updates so expect my rating to change in the future.
In short, Helldivers II is fucking amazing and is only looking to get even better in the future. Without a doubt well worth the $40 price tag.
