A nice and entertaining game, especially with friends, similar to Vermintide, but frame drops/start problems and many other technical difficulties spoil the fun.

Man, Helldivers 2 – where do I start?

Do I recommend playing the game? – YES!
Do you like the setting? – FOR MANAGED DEMOCRACY!
Do you like the gameplay loop? – Callin in Strategem

So why don’t I give it a thumbs up? – Because of how we as a community are treated by AH and Sony.

It feels like we’re fighting a fourth front against the game devs. They sold us a game that was fast, hectic, and a wild third-person shooter about spreading democracy and freedom. Now it feels like we’re being beaten down by them.

With each new patch, they say they “buff” the Helldivers—only for official or sometimes hidden patch notes to reveal that almost every Helldiver weapon gets nerfed into the ground (looking at you, flamethrower and tank balancing…). In this patch, the walkers are on their list. This sucks.

Now you can basically only play with meta setups because there are no good alternatives. And you can bet those weapons will be nerfed in the next patch as well—because of “balancing issues”—instead of buffing other weapons to create real alternatives.

They also keep buffing the enemies. Often it feels like a mission on difficulty 6 is harder than on the same planet at 8 or 9. WHY???
There’s also no consistent damage from enemies. Sometimes you survive multiple hits, and sometimes the exact same attack from the same enemy type kills you instantly.

Also, some enemies are just terribly designed—looking at you, invincible war strider.

I could go on, but I won’t. I won't talk about the warbound spam and new paywall for new mechs and strategems. ... I stopped playing because it’s just not fun anymore. Play something else and wait to see if AH listens to the community—or if they continue turning the game into a “grounded and tactical” shooter instead of the chaotic, fun arcade shooter that Helldivers 1 was and this game was advertised to be.

Eines der besten Jump-and-Run Spiele für mich. Die Steuerung mit dem Kontroller ist gut und die Atmosphäre in diesem Spiel ist atemberaubend - vorallem durch den Soundtrack!!!. In diesem Spiel kann man sich "verlieren". Klare Kaufempfehlung.

Für alle die auf Rundenstrategie und Echtzeitschlachten stehen!!!
