It's been a rough ride planetside but Helldivers finally seems to have landed.

The devs have figured out a reasonable pace to deliver content. Financing is based on mostly-palettable DLC packs("warbonds").

The game is always buggy. IF you can look past that there's something special waiting for you. This game rocks.

Gunplay is top tier. The best in any 3rd person shooter today. Plus, for precision, switching into 1st-person mode is seamless.

The animations are so detailed you have to watch a Youtube Deep Dive to notice all the little embellishments.

BUT

The true winner here is the physics engine. It's just the best damn one I've ever played. (And probably will remain so until GTA releases 2026.)

Seriously, I thought I was out and then they released the humvee and I got another 100 hours just driving around the maps at jackknife speeds.

It's simply never been so fun to die. 10/10. The rewards are well deserved.

(Lowkey: this game ironically might achieve world peace.)
