We're back with a negative review.
While it seemed like Sony were on the right track, they have not done right by the Helldivers community. The PSN requirement blocked 177 countries, those countries are still not able to purchase the game despite PSN not being a requirement anymore, futhermore, 3 other countries were added to the list as well. This just shows that Sony are still planning to implement PSN sometime in the future, and to avoid any problems have kept restrictions.

Major Order Completed: Repel the Automatons
Sony has cancelled the PSN requirement update.
Country restrictions are still in place, but I will take the chance and change to positive already.

Democracy prevails, have fun diving.

This is a great game.
A lot of fun and Joel from Arrowhead makes it very interactive.
However Sony decided to destroy it for people in many countries by enforcing PSN and those people will not be able to have the game refunded.

It's a great game to just waste time on.
A lot of the images look great, especially the larger images.
Only downside to the larger images is the amount of time it can take to finish a single image.
So if clicking on a 400x400 pixel picture, aka 160,000 pixels, is not for you then sure, skip this game.

Is this game for everyone? No.
Then who would enjoy this game? Anyone who enjoyed any previous FromSoftware game.

This is a soulsbourne game through and through, meaning you will struggle with a good portion of the game on your first playthrough.
The open world is amazing, while it is not stuffed with enemies all over the place, there are camps scattered throughout the world and critters making the world seem alive. The open world also allows you to progress which ever way you want. There are certain enemies you have to fell to complete the story, but the order is your own choice.
Try not to spoil the game on your first playthrough, and play however you like.

A great game that allows many different playstyles with the different weapons available.
Each run is different each time. Just remember, you will most of the time not have the same perks as you have had in past runs, but you can try to persuade the game with addons and power-ups you get along the way.

The main story itself isn't very long, but there are a lot of side stories that explore details linked to Greek Mythology

Amazing fun with friends. Betray their trust, and hate them even more, but in the end, it's all fun and games.

A fun competetive PVP shooter with PVE elements included. 5 teams of 1-2 players dropped on a map with 1 or 2 bosses. Locate the bosses' lair by looking for clues in a mutant zombie infested farmlands. Defeat the boss and start banishing it from this realm, now all the other players will know the location of the lair. Once banished pick up the bounty and then either run for the extraction point, or try to get more experience and money by going for addiotional bounty.

As the game is still in early access, the content is limited. There is only one map and 2 possible bosses to engage. A wide variety of semi-automatic rifles, snipers, shotguns, pistols, tools, throwables and character traits do exist however allowing players to have very different loadouts

So far I have enjoyed the game, more submersive than many other exploration games that I have tried. Sure there a things that could be improved to make the game appeal to a wider audience.

I will however say, if you have not bought the game yet, wait, the game is very pricy for the amount of features currently availble. I recommend buying the game when either more features have been added, or the price has dropped from its AAA pricing that it has at the time of this review.

Features however that could make the game a lot better are as follows:
Multiplayer, yes chances of meeting are close to zero, but if two people are at the same space station then they should atleast be able to see eachother.

Aggressive lifeforms, currently everything I meet either ignores me, or runs away. I would love to meet a carnivore that is aggressive, ofcourse this isn't an fps, but an aggressive lifeform that runs away once the multi-tool has hurt it a bit.

More survival, so far the biggest danger are the sentinels and pirates. And they haven't been able to hurt my health at all so far. The lowest my shields went was when I feel down a ravine cause my jetpack ran out of juice. It would make it more exciting to walk around if there was an actual danger, only time I get a bit of a surprise is when that rare plant this spews toxins at me.

However if it's the space part you are interested in and exploring with friends, I would at this time recommend Elite Dangerous, sure you can't walk on the planets and it's not procedurally generated, but it is a great space explorer, with more dangers than NMS.
