HELLDIVERS™ 2

Too much ragdoll, too many one shots.

If you watch gameplay footage of it, and think you will enjoy Helldivers 2 for what it is (not what it promises, or what it would seem to be), a horde shooter where you play with a team and use your variable loadout to make the mission easier to complete, then yes, you should get it. Otherwise, it is a poorly thought-out game with less polish than a pebble you could find outside your front yard. There is little sense of progression in the game, past the intrinsic motivation to make you feel as if you're "getting better at it". However, with all the bugs and inconsistencies you'll find, it's incredibly confusing to even gauge whether that's happening or not. Levels only mean anything for the first 10-20 hours of the game, maybe even less if you're doing D10 off the bat, and past the mostly QoL ship upgrades there's genuinely nothing else to do other than dive, dive again, dive again and dive again. Just like that loading screen tip! If you're not here for progression, but rather want to just have a grand old time with your friends, there's cheaper games to do it, and maybe even better ones. I will not say that Helldivers is a bad game, but when you have to holistically lower your expectations to get the most out of the game, what's the point? Arrowhead struck gold, but immediately decided to blow up the mine because they were looking for Pyrite. Changes and bugfixes are few and far between, and it's best to treat the game as if its developer team doesn't exist, and that changes simply intermittently happen. Additionally, expect to have no real QoL features, or anything that seems obvious when you just 'think about it'. Arrowhead does not pay attention to details where it matters most. To talk about the content and its method of implementation is like beating the ashes of a cremated horse at this point, but I will say first and foremost, if you do not intend to spend ludicrous amounts of time, money or get lucky with finding an exploiter who's cheating in Super Credits, you better not be hoping to enjoy the game for all its options. You will likely only be able to get 4-5 premium warbonds by the time you hit level 150 unless you deliberately go out of your way to farm Super Credits in D1. As for the system itself, you do missions to get the privilege to do more missions to buy things in the warbond to get the privilege to buy more things in the warbond. If you're looking at Helldivers for its depth in terms of its varied enemies and creative ways to deal with them, there is none, or when there is, circumstance will naturally push you to take the less engaging route simply because it isn't worth it. There's no intrinsic motivation to use the creative methods and there's no extrinsic motivation either (i.e. your arsenal simply can't deal with the enemy head-on). There must always be a simple solution that requires the press of a few buttons or a single click, because otherwise AH would just make an annoying enemy, since we are only hiring psychologists to study game design in the name of playtime, not engaging mechanics. The enemies simply have to be difficult to kill, because the game is not about having fun. The game is about catering to the small crowd of Dark Souls players who think that difficulty and elitism are what games should be about, and that we should gate the game to true capital G Gamers as if there weren't already lower difficulties for people like them. If you genuinely think this game has engaging objectives or enemies, I am sorry to say that you will be thoroughly disappointed. Your brain will gravitate to whatever pre-determined solution to the puzzle there is and you will be impeded in the execution. I'm not saying that every puzzle wouldn't get old after a while but when you can think of a dozen unique ways to take down a heavy enemy, there are only 2 or 3 actually in the game. Sometimes just one. I'm sure most people can enjoy Helldivers 2, but don't expect it to be something to blow your mind through good game design and interesting worldbuilding. It simply can't, and won't ever be. This is the promise that Arrowhead can provide. The epitome of "If" and "when", but never will be as good as it should be.

soutpark s11 ep11 14:50 that basically sums up the game on d10

1000 HOURS of horde shredding fun

Game is OK, it's a fun concept, and I like the universe they made here. But its hyper-repetitive. There are clear guns and items that are the best, so you just work towards unlocking those and then.... Keep grinding the same content again and again and again. 6/10. Its not bad but I can't recommend it.
