Arrowhead has made a wonderful product but SONY has stepped in and pulled the rug out from under the international community for the sake of data collection and keeping surprise smash hit Helldivers2 inside the walled garden of PSN.

Their corporate meddling is disenfranchising entire regions of the world that are not supported by PSN in any way. They cannot continue to play a thing that they have paid money for, purely for SONY's bottom line. I don't live in an affected place, but today them, tomorrow anyone else.

Until Arrowhead is free of SONY's meddling, I cannot in good faith recommend this product.

[UPDATE]: We did it! Helldivers 2 is being spared the horrible yoke of the PSN.

------------------September 9, 2025. Bugs front update------------

At one point they took game balance away from the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ who constantly nerfed anything that helldivers were using to win missions.

They've clearly given control back to him. Every new enemy has heavy or greater armor, rendering a solid 70% of the arsenal actually incapable of causing damage. Some new enemies straight up do not have a weak point to aim for, necessitating some kind of hyper-specific tool. Health pools for common mobs are also more than a magazine for most weapons compatible with actually taking them down.

And that's if the game runs at all. There's a mind-boggling amount of tech debt that's bloating installs and causing constant crippling performance issues.

Give the game a pass until they fix their ♥♥♥♥.
