9.1/10

Wait a few days or weeks to buy the game if you can resist for now. There are frustrations to be had, but they're entirely due to the fact that this is such an amazingly fun and smooth co-op experience that too many people are all trying to play at once! Helldivers 2 offers endless opportunity for wild action, hilarious friendly fire deaths, and explosions as far as the eye can see. Its simple yet...

HELLDIVERS 2 surprised me, with solid combat systems, fluid movement and an interesting metagame. And it's just about playable on Steam Deck.

Helldivers 2 keeps kicking me in the rear end, and I can't help but respect it. Visiting its warzones often feels like a one-way trip, to the point where I'm surprised to make it through. My group chats are awash with war stories of hard-fought victories and those times I dropped an airstrike on my head.

Bombastic, funny and challenging, but still a bit buggy.

8.5/10

With no roadmap and little knowledge of what’s to come for Helldivers 2, it’ll be interesting to see where the game goes in the following months and possibly years. One thing is sure, though, and that’s that Arrowhead Game Studios has crafted brilliant multiplayer, one that puts the players first above all else. It is mindless and addicting fun that calls back to that classic era of multiplayer ga...

HELLDIVERS 2 has been out for a little while and I'm glad I waited for the wrinkles to be ironed out before reviewing it so here we go.

With its high-chaos, high-comedy firefights, Helldivers 2 is a riot to play with friends – although its launch has been hampered by persistent matchmaking and progression problems.

Helldivers 2 is a fiercely challenging and visually breathtaking cooperative shooter where failure is funny and success feels magnificent. However, bugs and server issues hindered the initial experience, while there's a sense the game's full potential is yet to be realized.

8/10

Server issues aside, which eventually should be eliminated, jump into Helldivers 2 and you’re bound to have a good time. Its battles are challenging and engaging, it’s got a fun sense of humour, and it’s rewarding seeing your war efforts pay off. Whether you find yourself fighting against fearsome automatons while waiting for your flag to be raised, or squashing bugs while racing to take down an i...

Ten years after its predecessor, Helldivers 2 is finally here, bringing chaos and destruction to players’ screens – but does it live up to the original, or perhaps even surpass it?
