Professional reviews from gaming critics
When a title gets a grand number, it’s a video-game worth spending your whole life in.
It’s been about a year and a half since Helldivers was released on the PlayStation 5 and PC. Since its release, I’ve felt like that meme of Squidward looking at SpongeBob and Patrick having fun outside while he’s alone in his room. Thankfully, that’s no longer the case because Helldivers 2 is now playable on the Xbox Series X|S. Because of this, I’ve joined in on the fight to help spread managed democracy across the galaxy in the name of Super Earth.
Helldivers 2 is a masterstroke, a sensational sequel to one of my favourite games and an absolute must play for people who enjoy simple, cinematic, and irreverent fun. The shift in perspective, the upgraded graphics and sound design, and the hard lean into satirical humour have launched it easily into one of my favourite games of 2024. I highly recommend that you suit up and hit the Hellpods soldier, I’m doing my part, are you?
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.
For the past month one game (at least one that isn’t called Final Fantasy XIV) has been dominating my time. Helldivers 2 is a game that I was following before launch, but had no idea how successful it would eventually become. I know it’s early to say that in the middle of March, with so many titles yet to come out, but this could very much not just be an early game of the year contender, but could go down as one of the best cooperative games of all time.
Between wonderfully-addictive combat, encouraged comradery, & consistent tongue-in-cheek humor, Helldivers II is a fantastic way to spread liberty & prosperity through patriotic destruction.Roughly nine years ago, Arrowhead Game Studios unleashed Helldivers upon the world. While not setting the world on fire, [...]
Each aspect of Helldivers 2, from its combat to the progression, feels so unique that I can’t help but continuously gush over it.
Helldivers 2 is an excellent online co-op experience that expertly blends combat and teamwork.
“HELLDIVERS™ 2 is a 3rd person squad-based shooter that sees the elite forces of the Helldivers battling to win an intergalactic struggle to rid the galaxy of the rising alien threats. From a 3rd person perspective, players use a variety of weapons (pistols, machine guns, flamethrowers) and stratagems (turrets, airstrikes, etc.) to shoot and kill the alien threats. Players can also aim down the sights for a more accurate 1st person camera view. Combat is accompanied by frequent sprays of ...
HELLDIVERS 2 is worth going through hell to experience its gameplay and world, but server issues and glitches will rain on that campaign. Still, there’s nothing quite like diving in, feet first.
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.
Helldivers 2 is a team-focused co-op, third-person shooter about waging a galactic war against the enemies of Super Earth. Its moment-to-moment gameplay warps every match into a cinematic masterpiece unique to you and your squad. Every mission is filled with tense moments, epic climatic comebacks, and a ton of humor as you’re friend blows himself up because he held a grenade in his hands too long.
