I suck at this game, but it is still quite the beast. There's always more optimizing to do. You finished your base? Well can you make it better?

Nothing in almost a year. There was so much potential squandered in this title.

Bad business practices along side a sadly underwhelming game experience.

So first impressions, this is a hybrid between Warframe & Destiny. You'll feel those vibes right away and they're not necessarily bad. The missions structure is as cookie cutter as it gets with no real unique scenarios that I have seen so far. The story has some promise, but it's nothing noteworthy so far.

The Colossi are just big raid bosses you fight and the gimmick of using height is very short lived from what I've seen against the first two types. Once the weaknesses are gone you're just running around blasting it with your guns and abilities.

The gunplay is acceptable. It does feel fun mowing down enemies with your weapons. Abilities are there, nothing to write home about. I can't comment on graphics because of the horrendous framerate issues.

The game suffers tremendously from stuttering and FPS issues that not even being are the lowest possible settings will fix. While I would like to still recommend this game and support it with purchases, I can't until they fix the issues that plague the game's performance.

Edit - Sony relented on their troublesome decision, thank you for listening to us.

Helldivers II is a great co-op shooter that keeps the focus on objective play and collecting resources. The game's simple nature is its key strength and it's fun to see the chaos unfold as you and three others fight it out. Team kills are moreso funny than annoying as you'll run into scenarios where you just happen to be in range of an orbital and boom, you're limbs are scattered across the ground.

10/10, if you love co-op shooters this is a must to be in your collection.

I wasn't so sure about picking this title up when I first came across it, but I finally had the urge to see why it was praised and I have zero regrets in enjoying this incredible experience. This is one of the finest examples of what a visual novel should aspire to be. The music, characters, and overall story are phenomenal with every ending having a powerful impact. I hope to see more from this world and its characters in the future. 10/10 everyone should pick this one up.

Lengthy respawn timers, overly team dependent with those not having friends being SOL and should avoid this game altogether. Game modes are laughably lacking with no options outside of objective play. Weapon variation is abysmal and you will easily be dominated by metas over and over again. I was really hoping this would shake things up for FPS but I find myself disappointed overall.

I backed this day one on Early Access and it is one of the few games I fell in love with and didn't regret buying afterwards. A great story, phenomenal music, and beautiful graphics. This is truly game of the year for all the hard work they put in it.

Stay out of politics Activision, and fix the game please. Crashes are still an issue since launch.

I bought into Early Access for the charm the first brought. It is bare bones right now and will take some time to reach the necessary level to be worthwhile. I look forward to seeing where this game ascends to in the coming years.
