As a fan of the first Helldivers I was hopeful but skeptical that this game would be anything more than a 'one week wonder', but I am so thankful to have been proven wrong. This game brought more of my friends together than any other game I have played. A night has not gone by since its launch where I was not be able to play with another friend excited to dive again and again. Helldivers 2 brought me back into contact and friendship with people I had not talked to in years to share some democracy with. It has a near magical appeal.

Helldivers 2 is an incredible action movie moment and teamwork building juggernaut. Everyone knows games are better with a buddy but this game truely truely elevates that fact. So many close and amazing moments to count. Every time I come back to this I learn something new, grow stronger for it, and feel like a bad ass pulling it off. Even with its meteoric success Arrowhead Games continues to release update after update. Even though this game is great now I am sure it will be something very special in the future.

Give it a try you will not be disappointed

I got the joy of relearning DnD so I could theorycraft all over again. :) Also, game is good

This looks to have all the things I want in a crafty game. A story, simple crafting but complexity with scale, an emphasis on exploration, chill vibes.
Its going to take some getting used to placing factory bits in new ways but the handy features like the mass collection tool makes things pretty convenient.

A very nice and colorful take on tower defense, really feels like a war of push and pull. Very snappy and responsive controls I was not expecting the game to respond so quickly. Nice colorful characters that do not get on your nerves at all. They have a lot of fun with the dialouge which makes the characters endearing... at least for me. Its like running around and gardening as a dog. There is very much something here for both the casual and hardcore players. I recomend you bring a friend for many of the levels it always felt like I could do so much more if i had just a little helping hand. You can't really stand still to admire your grand defense in this, there is always something to do ecouraging you to stay on the move which I like a lot.
