Helldivers II (2024 Video Game) User Reviews

Spreading democracy wherever I go...

[ConalFoudy · 10/10 · 15 February 2024]

This game literally came out of nowhere and has absorbed my free time. It's the first game I have played in years in which I actually have fun. It is so good that I have pulled my friends back after so many months to fight for Super Earth.

The community in this game is absolutely incredible. They have a great sense of humour and are willing to help anyone in need of assistance.

Despite the rough sever launch due to immense player counts, which have since been solved, this game has the potential to be a very early on GOTY.

If you are considering buying this game, I couldn't recommend it more.

FOR SUPPERRRRR EARRTTTHHHHHH!!!

This is your game

Feeling like playing the game hero's duty from the movie Wreck it Ralph?

This is your game

Looking for a game where tou need to hold the line and make a heroic sacrifice staying behind so your teamates can board extraction?

This is your game.

Helldivers 2 is basically Starship troopers the game, you are are going to shoot some bugs for honor and to keep your freedom and your way of life.

You can even see some in game propaganda of protestors stating that the government is lying and all they want is the oil that's why they are attacking the poor bugs, this one hits so close to our real world current problems

Alao you can count on the devs to keep this lore live, this game will NEVER go political!

The most fun I've had in game in a long time

There was a rocky start, but it was quickly fixed and now it's so much fun I can't even stand it. It's been a while since I've played a multiplayer game where the player base has so much comraderie, teamwork, and all around good vibes. The game's tongue in cheek humor is delightful. The weapons are diverse. The planets and scenery are beautiful. The missions are exciting and challenging. Hunting for samples and, sometimes, losing them in the heat of battle is at once rewarding and frustrating. Just what a good game should be. Enemies are downright terrifying. It's really cool to be part of something so fulfilling. For Democracy. For Super Earth! Let's goooooo!!!

FOR SUPER EARTH

SUPER EARTH PROVIDES SUPER EARTH PROTECTS FOR MANAGED DEMOCRACY!!

Helldivers 2 is probably the best multiplayer game since Towerfall Ascension. First of all, the bile titan in the room. This game is a satire, and it's not hiding it. Just look at the trailers. You'll see.

The community is actually pretty nice as well, something rare for popular multiplayer games. In all my hours of playing, I haven't encountered anybody I would consider toxic.

Gameplay wise, the game is awesome. Really (Redacted because IMDB doesn't like profainity) awesome. Friendly fire is always a welcome addition, and helldivers makes pulls it off expertly. Fighting off hoards of fascist space bugs who totally aren't just minding their own buissness until we started killing them for OIL is a blast.

Helldivers is awesome

At its core, Helldivers 2 remains true to the essence of its predecessor: fast-paced, cooperative gameplay set in a hostile, procedurally generated universe. Players take on the role of elite soldiers known as Helldivers, tasked with defending Super Earth against the relentless onslaught of alien threats. What sets Helldivers 2 apart is its seamless integration of new features and improvements, enhancing every aspect of the gameplay experience.

One of the most thrilling aspects of Helldivers 2 is its emphasis on cooperative gameplay. While the game can be played solo, it truly shines when experienced with friends or fellow Helldivers online. Working together to complete objectives, coordinate attacks, and revive fallen comrades creates an unparalleled sense of camaraderie and achievement. The game's seamless drop-in/drop-out multiplayer functionality makes it easy to join forces with other players, ensuring that the action never stops.

Great, highly recommended.

Very rarely am I rendered speechless at a game. I am pleased to say that helldivers 2 did this, and then some. The devs have somehow revolutionised live service gaming into something truly special, it actually feels like you are fighting a war and that your missions count for something. However, the one thing stopping this game from being 10/10 is the bugs, no not the terminids, the actual bugs. Some can be annoying but they are mainly minor visual glitches. Despite this, the game averages weekly patches that also come with a few surprises, such as flying bugs. In conclusion, the chaos and unpredictability of helldivers 2 makes every mission unique and fun in its own way.

The game gets a 1 right now, because I just kept trying to troubleshoot why I wasn't connecting to games and could even do a quick play. That took up most of my gaming time last night and today. I only bought the game two days ago. Beyond the server issue they apparently have right now, the game explains very little about how to do anything other than the very basics of a shooter with showing how a few of the combat mechanics are a little tweaked. I had to google how to get new weapons, I thought the war bonds were the micro transactions and nothing else. This game has great graphics, solid shooting mechanics, and I love the Starship Troopers vibe that it has. The time that I got to play the game was awesome, but the developers were nowhere near ready for the launch they got. I would say to give them time and hopefully this isn't another Anthem. There's a great game here, it's just virtually unplayable.
