The Automaton threat that overtook Sony has been eliminated. Helldivers have been successful in removing the Automaton spy's once and for all, now Helldivers, let's back to the front and take back the galaxy from the menaces that threaded out democracy.

May, May the 6th forever be recognised as Victory day.

I haven't ran into any of the problems others have, the game has performed well for me. I have been hitting a consistent 100+ fps going through the game. There are frame drops in some areas, such as loading places I have not yet been however the FPS jumps back up once it has sorted itself out.

There is an issue sometimes going in and out of menus that will tank the fps to 10 fps for a few seconds but it increases back to normal levels again.

For reference,
I'm running a 3070 with a 5800x3d with settings on High and Nvidia DLSS on balanced.

Game isn't worth £59.99. It's a £45 at best.

Lack of multiplayer matchmaking is insanity.

I'm leaning more towards recommending, definitely could have done with some polishing. But overall it's a bit above average.

EU Queue times are horrendous. Peak time sees 300k or so people sat in queue waiting to get in, some of which queues are 6-8 hours long.

No server transfers available or will ever be possible.
No cross server friends list so if you and your friends have to go on different servers because of queue times well then ♥♥♥♥ you, you can't play together.

No sign of any fix on the horizon.

Game needs to be renamed to queue simulator 22.

Game is Always Online DRM, you have to stay connected to the servers to play, meaning every individual person playing this game has their own lobby even if they play solely single player. Due to this, the servers cant handle the load, and the servers crash.


Played around 90 hours, game is much more stable than the first few days of launch, however there are still many bugs and issues that persist.

Good fun game, at first soured by the sever issues but I'm not a beta unlike most people leaving salty reviews.

Was under the impression that we were getting more maps upon full release but looks like it still only has the beta maps available.

Not entirely fun to play for prolonged periods, best to play it on and off and not go hard else you risk burn out.

The stagger system needs some improvement, possibly invulnerability for a second or two after being staggered so many times in a row just to allow you character to not be out of action when people keep running into you.


Would be a good idea to add a Peer-2-Peer lobby option for friends who just want to play together and ♥♥♥♥ about with each other.


The team games are fairly un-fun. The football one is pretty good, but that's about it. The rest seem generally un-intuitive and feel like they're lacking in design.

Good and fun game, however would benefit by making the timer optional.

Can't really recommend based on the timer however, really kills the game off if you cant take your time and chill.


If you don't like game where you're pressured to complete something fast and can't do it in your own time (for example this game you have 15 minutes to deconstruct a ship which isn't enough time), then this game isn't for you.

I am thoroughly hooked on this game. Been waiting for it for months and I have to say I am impressed.

The optimisation is solid, running a 1070 Ti with a 2700X Ryzen and the only tiem I have frame dips is when I am watching a stream on my other monitor.

Never encountered any of the issues anyone has had, I have had a few disconnects maybe around 3 but that's given since it has just released on PC. No doubt we will see some patches in the future.

Multiplayer is great, fairly easy to find games to play, matchmaking system is top notch and I really like how easy it is to navigate the multiplayer menus, also to be able to select what monster you want to kill and it finds you lobbies is perfect.


Story co-op with a friend is a bit niggly, some missions will be 2 player, 1 player of have room for 4 players. The cutscene thing isn't much of an issue as people say as when you friend sends out an SOS signal you can join him which at the same time completes your quest when he completes his. That being said, it is a bit niggly like I previously stated but it's easy to get used to. Not really worth the negative reviews/blowback this game is getting.


Finally a lot of the negative reviews are seemingly unwarranted right now as the majority of issues people are reporting on have been fixed.


Edit: People complaining the game is a bad port blow my mind. Controller integration is perfect, KB&M is also just as usable.

From Zero to Heroes.

Edit: A new spark of life has been shot into this game. "Enduring Conflict". This is a fantastic gamemode that needs to be about on a permanent basis. The match is pretty much 6 hours on a drop in drop out basis. They need to fix the rewarding however as if you do not stay until the end of the match you will not get your rewards, they also need to add a few more objectives but overall it's perfect. You get to respawn as many times as you like in RB or SB and keep flying out your favourite planes from battle rating 2.3 to 4.3 (there are other barackets too). I feel for once gaijiggles have pulled out a golden egg and I cant wait to see it hatch, fingers crossed it's not rotten and it tuns into something grand.



WarThunder is a little hit and miss for me, there is no doubt that this is the best game out there for it's genre, but whilst there is nothing to match it the game is plagued with problems within staffing and general game development.


Recently the game has been on a decline, from what has been fun is now just beyond a joke. The development team continue to nerf aircraft such as the Mosquito, an aircraft iconic during 1941-1942 for it's excessive speed and maneuverability, it was given the nickname "the wooden wonder". However this game doesn't reflect this at all, the aircraft used to fly great however it has been nerfed to the ground so much that it's slow and does not maneuver very well compared to it's historical counterpart, in fact it has been nerfed to the point where the early planes it was built to outrun and outpace can catch it fairly easily, it faces late war prop planes which far exceed the Mosquitos capabilities. This is but one of many planes that have seen nerfs, the fabled Griffon Spitfire? Nerfed, engine HP is greatly reduced, 150 octane fuel removed. F8F Bearcats? Nerfed, Ta-152 and various other german planes? Nerfed, Japanese planes? Nerfed. Russian planes? Buffed.
Don't get me wrong, the gameplay is great but the balancing is terrible.



Now the official forums are just a complete and utter **** show. Overly power hungry/mad community moderators and admins handing out bans and warnings to players talking about issues in game, broken planes or any other issues regarding the games development, they will make snide remarks and as soon as you make a retort they will come down on you and claim that you're causing a flame war when anything you say is far from it.


I would like to reccomend this game, but the games is beingg ran into the ground by a poor development team and a corrupt band of misfits patrolling the official forums taking away peoples freedom of speech. Slowly but surely Gaijiggles is becoming an Authoritarian company, or maybe it already is.
