Never before has a community been so united and has set an unprecedented example.

The publishert wanted to force you to link your Steam account with PlayStation Network.
A network that has been repeatedly hacked in the last years and it's only available in a shockingly few countries.
All of this under the "excuse" that it's about the safety of the players...a bad joke, if you ask me.

They first said that the PSN link will be optional, but then they changed their FAQs at the last minute to make it mandatory...but now the mega corp. has bowed to us.

Helldivers, the major order has been successfully completed, democracy has prevailed!


Now to the game..

Helldivers 2 is probably the best game I've ever played.

It's a game that's easy to learn but difficult to master, specially on higher difficultys.
Even after around 160 hours in the game, I still have fun establishing „managed democracy“ with my friends, with randoms or even alone.

Arrowhead Game Studios has created a stunning game that:
- looks absolutely beautiful
- sounds absolutely beautiful
- runs absolutely beautiful

The game master "Joel" gives you daily personal missions to win fame, honor and medals as well as major orders to all helldivers where there is the same stuff to win, JUST WAY MUCH MORE OF IT.

You have many different mission types to choose from, as well as currently 2 enemy types. Automatons that are heavily armored and armed, and the bugs that become a problem especially due to their sheer mass on the planets.

In my opinion, the grind isn't really that high and the unlockable weapons, armors and stratagems add a lot of variety to each mission.

In the end, I just can say thank you to the team that works at Arrowhead for giving us this game!
