i miss this game

As a Warhammer fan, the art, the design, just everything pleasing to the eye

As a GAME, this game is overhyped and overpriced. Outdated gameplay that didn't innovate in any sense of the word. I'm disappointed that this was literally just sm1 with better graphics. The content is extremely lacking, 6 repetitive missions with repetitive gameplay to boot. It's better to buy on sale for those who don't wanna read everything.

- Story:
It's brief, generic, and forgettable. The plot is more generic slop comparable to a call of duty campaign so don't expect too much there. The story is effectively glaze central for the BLUEBERRIES then omg secret bad guy plot out of nowhere instead of Tyranids being the main focus, diverting from the more interesting developments that could've been. Wish there was more focus with the marines themselves instead of lol chaos again.

- Lack of various QoL options like FOV sliders.
Not enough graphics options to disable features like post processing effects or light sensitive features, Lack of support of various monitors, Motion blur literally doesn't go off when you set it to off, the list goes on. The game can be a disco show at times, giving me headache on top of only being able to see my character's GIANT ASS cheeks lawd haf murthy.

- Clunky movement and unresponsive actions at times
Dodge is horribly delayed, not many ways to cancel out of animations.
There's these weird moments where you stand still thinking you'd dodge and you may say to yourself "what i dodged what the heck" well I'm here to tell you you're not CRAZY. The dodge is hard coded to buffer sprint as an action on PC, resulting into delay actions because of the buffer option select between dodge and sprinting. Extremely ass cheeks.

- Clunky Melee and Ranged Combat.
Aimming feels stiff due to the options for sens being so limited. But for the most part the clunkiness comes from how underpowered the weapons are. There's about 4 usable guns i can think of in my head. The sound design is lacking for some weapons and don't pack the resounding WALLOP that Bolter has in other games. Then the crosshair bloom just makes weapons feels so off and boorish that's not even worth shooting half the time cause you can't hit the board side of a barn. Melee which I was hoping to be different enough to entice ultimately falls short dude to the lack animation cancels for dodge and more. You end up parrying everything as much as possible for it is the only way to cancel, downside being you're standing still to get peppered by bullets. I hope it changes.

- Overly reliant on "QTEs" or executions or deadshots
Now that know this may not seem like an issue at first but when you realize these are the only ways to regen armor during combat it becomes glaring. It's cool to see the first 20 times but after 3 hours you'll wish there were introduce more ways to engage with regen. Standing still doing a cool animation with a camera interrupts the flow of gameplay and adds to the clunkiness of the game. The lack of ways to regain armor is astounding. THEY REALLY want you to abuse executions and deadshots as much as possible cause of the iframes executions give you. I wish the game would encourage aggressively slashing my enemies instead of having to watch an animation play for 500th time.

- Overly reliant on off screen indicators
This is the same problem i had with god of war 2018 where the fov was so low that had to see my characters HUGE ASS BACK. Constantly taking backshots from tyranids because i have to look at the funny circle around my character and press the button. It's lazy to me and makes combat feel unfocused.

- Difficulties are badly designed
One sentence, increasing health and damage and nothing is bad difficult design.
Bullet Sponges put people to sleep stop this ♥♥♥♥. Really throws the balance out of whack.

- Content is lacking and the game is highly repetitive
I can't be bothered to play the same 6 missions over and over again that hardly vary enough to be noticable. There's not much to say because of the game not having content on release. The only way they tend to vary is "place X amount of bombs" objectives change the number of bomb. Again how is this game 60 bucks?

I really wanted to like this game but it's just an outdated action game to me.

I'm sleepy as ♥♥♥♥ when i made this review so i may have missed some points i wanted to make. But don't buy right now wait for sale.

EDIT 17/10/24: Yeah I'm done with this game.
This roadmap is actually horrible.
1 New mission when we only have 6 in the game is baffling. 1 new weapon is cool i guess.

But the biggest kicker of the whole thing is the obvious malice against modding. They essentially killed modding this update. The only thing keeping the game on life support for me. I enjoyed cosplaying the deathwatch, using various weapons with different classes in pve, AND FINALLY HAVING FOV IN THE GAME, it was a good time. Instead of saber embracing this part of the community, they've effectively killed it off for good this time. Don't let the shills tell you this game is a good faith game. It's not. It's more marine slop core. I'm sure the designers and most devs were very passionate about making the game, but some of the higher ups definitely didn't understand the game's fanbase.

They added FOMO to the game basically.

Limited time items with horrible value. 10 dollars for a weapons and a piece of armor, helmet not included.
Effectively locking content that should've been a warbond for the recent killzone crossover.
Essentially an entire warbond page for 20 dollars. That's where we are right now.

I didn't think Helldivers would break their promise of no FOMO but here we are.

Some dont consider it FOMO but regardless of what you consider we can all agree that adding literal Warbond pages to the superstore that are 20 dollars each is bad for this game.
We can agree that time gating content is bad for the game.

It quite literally goes against philosophy of "you'll be able to get all the content at any point" and you'd have to wait weeks for this to show in the shop again and then wait for it to cycle out for the next page? I don't know. Reading it on the discord definitely sounds like the case based on the wording.

Did I mention it's basically FOMO? Yeah I did.

Please do no give arrow head money for this one. It's bad value and malpractice that SONY is trying to implement once more. Dont let corperate ruin another title with their dawg ♥♥♥♥ money grubbing hands.

If we ignore this now, it'll get worse from then on.

Please Review game with me to send a message to Sony and Arrowhead we don't want any form of fomo within helldivers, lite or full.

Game's bland as it can be. Prolly gonna be stuck in early access hell for the rest of it's life.

I can't recommend this game due to it's performance issues on mid-tier hardware. The reliance on DLSS is plaguing modern gaming and native resolutions. I'm sure it runs better with the more intended hardware but even on my rig it was playable before the March 9th patch. Now it consistently dips to the 40s and 60s after the patch. It went from hitching and stuttering to straight drops in performance.

This is my personal issue with the game. IF you have the hardware to run it, play it. It's a good time.

This update is an absolute wreck. Buggy, questionable balance changes, uncessary nerfs, performance drops, etc. Im not looking forward to the rest of season 2. I cannot reccommend this game to a hardcore fans of fighting games.

This game is a oldie but goldie type game for those FPS lovers. I suggesting picking it up. It's improving with each update.

Guns, gore, and the blood of christ are poured in this game. Did I mention this game has christian metal in it. And the devs... well... are christains. Yes the irony, I know.

Monthly updates, amazing variety in enemies, guns, GUNS, AND GUNS!!

10/10 please don't play survivalist again.

I just wanted fat anime titties

It's like every single game in the world put together GET IT NOW!!!
