Helldivers 2 is a cooperative shooter and a sequel to the highly acclaimed game Helldivers from 2015. It was created by the developers of the first installment of the series, namely the Arrowhead Game Studios team.

Gameplay

Unlike the first part of the series, in Helldivers 2 the action is viewed from a third-person perspective (TPP). The gameplay focuses on exterminating hordes of enemies. We eliminate enemies by making use of an extensive arsenal, including pistols, machine guns, and flamethrowers. Furthermore, at our disposal are more deadly tools of murder. They include scattering dozens of anti-personnel mines across the battlefield, using automatic turrets, or calling in the aid of a powerful bomb. This way we can tip the scales of victory in our favor. In addition, we can use defensive equipment, such as shield generators.

Shacknews: 8 / 10 by Lucas White

Honestly, just take a look at your social media platform of choice right now. Helldivers 2 is exploding, in a way that even fans of the first game have not expected. And there’s a reason for that. This game is rough around the edges, but those edges are serrated; there’s an authorship to the chaos and slight jank that feels woven together from top to bottom. The systems, humor, structure… every aspect of this game feeds into the other for an experience that nails cohesion. Helldivers 2 plants its flag in the dirt and announces itself with a rare confidence in video games today. Now get out there and serve some piping-hot Liber-Tea, soldier.

MonsterVine: 4.5 / 5 by Luis Joshua Gutierrez

All in all, Helldivers 2 is a fantastic game. The way it blends its live-service aspects with the overall narrative is a breath of fresh air. Helldivers 2 is filled with plenty of cinematic moments that'll often leave you on the edge of your seat. It's great to see Sony and Xbox get along because consumers like you and I can now enjoy more games on our platform of choice.
