HELLDIVERS™ 2 Reviews

In Helldivers 2, you don’t just play a game... you become a highly trained, government-approved freedom dispenser. Your mission? Spread Managed Democracy™ to every corner of the galaxy, whether they like it or not (spoiler: they don’t). You’ll drop into alien hellscapes armed with love, justice, and a 500-pound orbital bombardment. You’ll kill bugs, bots, and sometimes your own teammates... because in the pursuit of liberty, collateral damage is just character development. "The only good bug is a dead bug!" - You, seconds before blowing up your squad with a misthrown grenade. Weapons are big. Explosions are bigger. And your odds of survival? Spiritually fulfilling, mathematically hopeless. The story is pure Super Earth propaganda, and yes, I would die for our glorious President, toaster or not. "I'm doing my part!" "He's doing his part!" "Would you like to know more?" Now shut up and hit the hellpod.

Probably one of the most fun games that came out recently, as well as one of the best PvE experiences I've had ever, while also being one of the most poorly mantained, frustrating, bug-ridden games I've played. You can expect close to zero QA or testing from updates or new gear, and an embarassing amount of bugs, both minor (and kinda funny), and game breaking. Enemies clip through walls, shoot you through terrain and spot you from across the map, players get knocked into the ground when hit, you can get trapped into terrain with nothing that can save you aside from killing yourself; Guns suddenly lose their audio, Visual cues tied to enemy attacks disappear or are misleading, sometimes the player can just die, outright. Secondary objectives are bugged. The death recap is bugged. Enemy AI is bugged, not to mention the frequent crashes. At a certain point it just becomes too much. Most of these are said to be known issues, but from how major some are, they persist across weeks and months with no fixes. Sometimes, the "fix" just creates a long list of more bugs. I put off buying this game close to launch because of issues with servers and bugs, and decided to give the admittedly small team time to adapt to the huge success of this game, but from what little experience I can gather, the team still seems to struggle with these kinds of issues. Again, it's clear that the devs are passionate about this game, and I'm having a lot of fun with friends. This is not meant to throw shade at their work. I just cannot recommend a game that charges AAA price, has in-game purchases, and is unable to grapple the sheer amount of game breaking stuff going on in their coding, after more than a year since launch.

This is one of the best co-op games ever made, but the bugs that riddle this game is just embarrassing. Every update brings new frustrating problems, and that is just unacceptable.

The devs accidentally made a really cool and fun game but are trying their best to fix that every patch. (the game also runs like crap)

Recently somethings changed, and the game takes 100% of my CPU usage, regardless of settings. There's intense buffering, audio crackling, and it's entirely locked up my computer.

This is one of my favorite games, but it has a fatal flaw in that the developers are some mixture of antagonistic and incompetent. Every patch is a coin toss on whether it is amazing or horrible. The developers will throw 75% nerfs on DLC items out of the blue along with the release of a new expansion. Every patch adds new game breaking bugs and they almost never get fixed. There is no QA, it is genuinely shocking what gets released. It's a great time, but you will be in an abusive relationship with Arrowhead.

Love the game but persistent performance issues & crashes compel me to put this up, will take down if the situation improves :/

Please for the love of god let me play this game without these fucking optimization bugs and errors. Like seriously, every update I download another 10GBs just to have the game crash and burn with 10 different problems for every one fixed.

HELLDIVERS 2 is one of those games where every battle feels like a real fight for survival. The atmosphere is strong, the gameplay is punchy, and the co-op element is absolute gold. This isn’t a game for lone wolves — every shot, every grenade, every advance is about working as a team. The game constantly surprises you, from the intensity of the firefights to the chaotic moments of friendly fire. Visually it looks great, the UI is clear, and the shooting feels weighty and satisfying — exactly what you’d want from military sci-fi. Sure, there are a few rough edges, but honestly, they don’t matter much when the core experience is this fun. It’s a game that thrives on cooperation, tension, and full-on combat adrenaline. A great pick if you're looking for fast-paced action and that feeling of brotherhood in the middle of a burning warzone. For Managed Democracy. For Super Earth. For Liberty.
