In terms of gameplay, I feel like Helldivers II is the current king of CO-OP shooters.
With a focus on style, it creates a very cinematic feeling with intense moment-to-moment action.

There is also a great incentive for teamplay where players can share equipment or even buddy load each other's weapons for increased efficiency.
Features that make the game way more enjoyable, even with randoms.

There are some rough spots in the game still, but with the frequent updates the game receives (as of now) I believe Arrowhead will polish all of these out before long.

I am on the other hand very pissed that many unique weapons and armours are locked behind "Warbonds" that cost about 10 Euros each to purchase and are pumped out monthly. I wish that at least some variations of these unique items would be available for free. This is a paid game after all, and I expect to get the full product.

To some degree, I excuse the microtransactions as they fund the continued and active global shared story of the game.
This truly makes the game feel like a true community effort and a shared sense of purpose.

Currently, as it stands, I would rate the game as a 7/10.
The general game is great, but it needs some polish and a rework to the Warband shop.
