MAJOR ORDER COMPLETE

Your reward, Helldivers, is freedom from the shackles of the Automaton Empire (Sony) and their forced GPS chipping (Location data, date of birth, real name).


Oh, and uh, the game is amazing too. Please play it.

While the core game itself is innovative in multiple aspects for the ARPG genre with features such as the trading/loot factions, easy loot filter creation and fun class building, the icing on the well-structured cake is rotten.

- Story feels incomplete, with inconsistent use of VA and a laughably forgettable first half.

- Polish is missing in many areas - countless bugs, errors, things that shouldn't be shown to the player.

- Gameplay experience is constantly disrupted by said bugs, such as characters being invisible/no animations, parties bugging out, way too many co-op related bugs to list. Clearly the co-op is an afterthought and I had to constantly leave the party to redo a story quest because it wouldn't count while in a party.

I could go on, but the general gist is that the core game is great and perfect for those wanting an inbetween of Path of Exile and Diablo - if it weren't for so many bugs plaguing and ruining the experience. The game is not ready for 1.0. It actually feels worse than when I played 0.9. Wait until it's fixed.

Fun roguelike with many ways to change the way the game plays and feels with fun characters and a great final boss.

Never before have I seen a more engaging, beautiful story told through such sweet, kind words and incredible, next-generation ray-traced graphics. A must-have experience for the same price as a McDonalds hamburger.

good ahead
in other words, money bags

Despite being early access, has a fair bit of content, hard-working devs and an enjoyable game overall. Some minor gripes such as lack of quick travel, though that'll be helped in the future with mounts and such. Mostly enjoyable to me thanks to the proper co-op experience.

A quick honest review.

The game is wonderful. I always come back to it over and over and enjoy it more each time - the story, characters, music, combat, etc... I cannot recommend this game enough.
