Most cinematic game ive seen, most situations that happen naturally just looks gorgeous, gives a great feeling of immersion/amazement and make you feel like you're actually playing/controlling a movie.
Gameplay is great with alot of options too difficulty making you able to choose lower lvls wich gives easy missions you can finish quickly with little stress to highest lvls wich gives a solid group of experianced players a good challange without making all enemies feel like bulletin sponges like alot of other games tend to do, but instead swarms you with alot more enemies of the different classes all requiring different approches to taking them down making your choices of loadout really matter and change the way you engage the enemies both on bot and bug missions.

Gunplay feels great with nice sounds and visuals giving feedback and making most guns have a very hard hitting and regarding feeling to use.
Strategems comes in a nice variety and gives you alot of options in how you take out larger enemies or swarms of smaller ones, most of them also are really satisfying to use and again comes with great visuals and sound design.

Missions play out quite simularly but its really the minute to minute gameplay that makes this game so much fun and engaging when you have to play around random patrols, bug holes/ bot drops whilst playing around the different encampments around the map, doing objectives and gathering materials/samples, the combat really preassure you and most of the time you have to adapt to what the game throws at you wich makes for a great experiance playing.

The whole PlayStation account sync feelt terrible as it seemed to be optional when first logging in, but now Sony actually pulled that requirement back making people in countries where that was unavailable now again able to play and enjoy this absolute gem of a game, basicly as long as Arrowhead keep at it in the same sense they have been so far and Sony does not interfere with any other ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ id wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone who enjoy's CO-OP shooters as its probably the best one ive played so far.

The game is not perfect though there are a number of bug wich can impact hinder the otherwise good flow in gameplay/combat causing your weapons to stop working, unlocking your camera from your character so your view is stuck in the skybox or making you fall through the ground/map, most of these are "fixed" or dissapear on death so its usually does not mean your match you might've sent 30-40 minutes on is over but there are also some issues with game crashes and other game instabilities wich requires a game restart wich can totally stop a mission.
Most of these you see every now and then they dont really show up on every mission or close to that but can be a pain point, otherwise it runs quite well and you can enjoy the fun for the majority of your play sessions.

Arrowhead really aced the humor and satire of the universe with voicelines from the player characters and all other npc character in the game really fantastic when paired with the gameplay.

I will continue supporting Arrowhead and play Helldivers 2 if they keep going with the great new content and updates, also a big plus that they actually seem to listen, care and interract well with the community.
