Game dev pissed bcs AI took their job and protests by hacking the game sums up the campaign mode. The story is a 'the power of friendship' kind of story, until it gets real in the last two chapters, but we ain't here for story.

Customization is only limited by your creativity, and gunpla selection. All those gunpla and I still can't recreate my irl custom build which require GM Sniper K9 and GM III beam master, which is oddly not in the game. Anyways, customization allows for asymmetrical and silly builds bcs you can modify each body part properties like scaling. Not to mention all the builder parts available.

The game is like minecraft in a sense, its about creativity and building gunpla. Combat is mindlessly fun, especially if you've found your pace. Not great for replayablity though, it gets old after the first run. Although the game favors melee combat more than ranged, do with that as you will. Gamplay loop is simple: farm, build, diorama, repeat.

The negative thing I can say is the UI is cluttered and inefficient. UI is filled with unnecessary decorative element, and how the menu hides options behind a button is annoying. Why would you hide a slider behind a press of a button to operate? it confuses me still after some time, and things that could be hidden behind extra option, isn't, which contributes to the clutter i mention before. overall UI/UX isn't the most beautiful and efficient, but at least it isn't Ubisoft.

It's been a long time since I play a game that I can relax to after a busy day. You can just play however you want, whenever you want. There's no time limit on unlockabels, and you can progress by just relaxing at the lower difficulty missions, albeit slower, but you can still enjoy the game and experiment with gears.

Easy to obtain currency, no complex 8 hour long raid, no gear rarity, no competitive pvp, just straight up delivering managed democracy at your own pace. And matchmaking is always available for any activities. I see no point locking certain activity away from matchmaking because pretty much every Helldiver I met knew what they're doing --to some extent.

I cried 5 times and got my retinas burned twice.

The NPC you're suppose to follow is moving in the same pace as you are!

Not as lore friendly as I like it. Still fun fps tho.

Gift this to your friend who's entire personality is solely based on competitive shooter, and see them having existential crisis overnight because they just blind kick breach a door and got shotgun to the face. Good times.

If you look past its flaws, It actually provide a decent entertainment.

We all know why we're here, the storytelling. It's just another 3rd person cover shooter, but man can only dream of this level of storytelling.
