Helldivers 2 is a great cooperative third-person shooter. You fight off in many different scenarios against the Terminids or the Automatons. With both of these different factions allows for a switch up in gameplay. The live service model that the game runs off is a good one where you have the choice to pay upfront for gear or wait and earn it. The gear that you do earn isn’t in a ‘pay-to-win’ manor, only granting small buffs that can be earnt quite quickly. The gunplay is satisfying when having the recoil marker helping you track your shots along with the availability of using first person in tactical situations.

When playing this game, it has loads of little minigames tided to objectives that make tense situations even more tense and allows for you to mess up or even die, which can be frustrating at times. But it changes the way that you assess a certain situation. The stratagems that you have are a way of calling in ordinance and supplies to help you on your mission and provide awesome features and benefits.

The customisation is limited at the moment and I’m hoping that it gets the attention later on in time. But there are a range of helmets, armours, and capes to be equipped giving some individuality. Colour pallets would work really well in a game like these giving players the ability to give their helldiver some individuality.

The progression system seems really good so far to what I have played getting to difficulty seven. Unlocking these difficulties requires the player to play through the pervious one, with each difficulty introducing a new mechanic or enemy type. When playing through these missions there are some materials that you can find which are mandatory for you to upgrade your ship. So far, I have found that you need a lot of these and it seems like a long-term system for the player to progress toward but doesn’t impact the gameplay too much.

I adore the levelling system. It feels like old-school Halo: reach with the large levelling gaps and the titles and badges that you earn. This system gives me, as a player, an experience to show off the fact that you are experienced and have earned your title.

Overall, when considering that this is a new game and that it is currently priced at £34.99, I believe that this is a great price for a game like this. It offers great replay ability and fun mechanics to play around along with the dance, dance revolution style minigames. Also, all the Joel memes are really funny. I would highly recommend you and your friends to buy this game and help spread managed democracy.
