Amazing game with solid execution, albeit a few hiccups along the way. The game faced a rough start due to server problems caused by the overwhelming number of players eager to join (a perfect example of suffering from success). Fortunately, within two weeks, these issues were resolved.

After that the game had huge problems with bugs (not the Terminids ones) and crashes - especially the latter one was very frustrating as you could lose all your mission progress (up to 40 minutes of spreading democracy gone in a blink of an eye) thankfully most of the crashes were fixed few days ago and you could finally spread some managed democracy alongside your fellow Helldivers (still with some bugs but manageable).

Yet, the freedom of Super Earth came under attack, ironically from its own publisher, Sony. Every Helldiver who fails to link their account with PSN by June 4th will lose access to the game, despite having had the opportunity to do so for the past few months. Only 69 countries worldwide can create a PSN account, the remaining 100+ countries are unable to do so, leaving players who have already purchased and invested significant time in the game stranded.

PSN account linking is allegedly needed for "security" reasons and it will surely be secure coming from a company known for its security breaches in recent years but atleast the shareholders are happy am I right boys?

With one snap of a finger and a bad decision Sony probably killed a very successful game that had a very bright future. Last but not least the community managers of Arrowhead didn't help the situation yet again and added fuel to the fire (on the subject of fire, DoT of fire still may only work for game host).
