Helldivers 2 is an amazing new take on the original Helldivers format.
The game has maintained all the elements that made the original game such a success,
The new third person perspective brings the game into a whole new universe while keeping the charm of the original game.
Cooperation and teamwork are a key element for success in this PvE shooter

The chaos of drop pods landing left and right with weapons and respawing teammates while you're being charged by enemies makes the an amazing experiences, highly recommended.

Side note: commendations to the developers after the PSN update fiasco, they have shown that they can listen to the community and value to input of their players

This game should have been an improvement to ther very fun part 1: Trans Ocean the shippingcompany. Unfortunaltely, it is not.

(UPDATE)
though the game certainly has some improvements over the first game, it has overall not become a better game.

Some of the flaws:
- no longer can you chose to dock manual/automatic, this is now determend at random with as reason tug boat company strikes. therefor you cant save money by docking manualy in a finachaly poor situation (or whenever you feel like it).
- manuvering of ships feels very "un ship like" this makes manualy sailing in and out of port a lot less fun then in Transocean 1. the ships feel like they dont have a rudder to steer but just turn at a preset speed based on rudder input and speed (feels strange and works best in reverse)
- when sailing in and out off port, the AI ship traffic is TERRIBLE. all the ships are moving at top speed and have no intentions to stay in the waterways. they will sail onto and through land at speed without any trying of avoiding collisions (the will stop and blow the horn a lot when you get in there way).

what did improve:
- now there is not only container cargo but also bulk and tanker cargo. this however does not add anything new since the jobmarkets for container bulk and tanker in on way related to eachother. however, teh new ship models and cargotype bonuses a a nice feature..
- when leaving port manualy (or entering) there is now a much bigger enviorment.
- there is a minimap and a fullscreen map when sailing in to or out of a port.

if you liked trans ocean 1 this still is probably not the game for you, however you might want to give it a try if you can pick it up cheap.

overall 3/10

geweldig spel
