Just nope!!! It feels so clunky, uninteractive, bad combat, not D&D but pathfinder rules.. I mean, ANY larian title is so much better!!!!!! That being said, Owlcat games did make a decent game with Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader. But this ♥♥♥♥ is horrible!...

The Positives:
The Co-op works very well.
The Action in both traversing the city, and slating zombies is awesome :P 10/10 dropkick braindeads off buildings.
The parkour in combat works FUN! You fly all over the place jumping over zombie after zombie to kick their remaining teeth out.
The combat with weapons and dismemberment feels awesome. Swing your katana or axe sideways and split bodyparts in multiple parts.
The way you traverse the city via glider, hook, wall running, parkour moves and emvironment is AWESOME!
Even the amount of items and crafting options is surprisingly huge! Plenty of throwables, and weapon mods.

The negatives:
The Story is ♥♥♥♥. The dialogue is so badly written. It feels like ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Tommy Wiseau & Zack Snyder came up with this atrocity.
Close to NONE of the characters is likeable! nor do they have good dialogue.
The Boss fights is ♥♥♥♥, and even more ♥♥♥♥ in co op.

Summary:
Buy this for some good time with friends, and use it as a playground for fun.
DONT buy it for story or dialogue!

Listen up civilian! It's time to do your part as an elite force, protecting our way of life and values, for glorious democracy!

While it may not look like much on the surface, Helldivers has a hell of a lot going on once players dig in, and being a disposable interstellar trooper raiding death planets has never been more perfectly captured than it is here.

It's small studios like this, with a god like game like Helldivers 2, that should leave AAA studios shaking in fear.

If you haven't bought it already, you must hate peace and democracy!

EDIT# ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Sony.... why you have to ruin a great title with your playstation account ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.... Nobody likes playstation network, and nobody trusts you "security", since you've been ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hacked more than anyone before..... Take a shot of sake, and come to your senses!

2nd EDIT# It seems sony actually did come to it's senses :D nice, the game is god tier again!!!

This feels like the closest DND non-pen&paper i've ever tried :D It's amazing. A bit clunky animations and dialogue, but great mechanics, story and world building.
Recommended indeed :D

The game itself is fine. The gunplay and abilities feels fun to use. It's addictive. The diffrent game modes is good, so there's plenty to do.

The campaigns is fun to play, but the story is close to garbage. The npc characters are boring, shallow and brings nothing to the table. (The removed content with nathan filion was another story though, back then the humor was a good part of the game). The attempts to be funny now is so bad, that you feel like just skipping every single dialoge.

You have the Nightfalls, weekly missions, raids and dungeons wich is all superb imo.
The nightfalls is the proper way to play the strike missions :D difficult, fun with friends, and brings some teamwork req.
The Exotic missions is also fun, and worth to play once a week for the pinnacle. It's like they brought more complex mechanics for these :D
Raids is fun. They are the best part of the game as long as you can group 5 other friends :D They bring some good puzzles, and gun elements. They do tend to become easier and easier, but that doesnt matter, as long as they're fun.
Dungeons is also a unique challenge thats fun to play. Good puzzling, and good boss fights.

The strike playlist at the difficulty level limit is just a waste of space. And the pinnacle gear piece for 3 strikes is annoying.
The Gambit gamemode is bad. Could be fun, but the servers make it lame.
The Crucible pvp gamemodes is just not good. I get alot like it, but i dont. If you want to play some good pvp shooters, go play another game that focuses on pvp shooting.

All in all the game should be recommended, but since they are so extremely greedy with content, i wont recommend it. The F2P is good, but becomes boring fast. So you wanna play to get fun content. But you get so little for large ammounts of money. Thats just garbage. And i dont like they timegate content you pay for.
For that ammount of money, you can buy multiple whole new games, and thats worth more in the long rong.

It's a fun game to play once in a while. It's simple, and filled with fun items and secrets.
I will however say that the expansion brought some overpowered items that makes even monsoon a cakewalk.

(EDIT AFTER 46 HOURS:
It it exremely boring to level all the way up to 50. At it's extra frustrating that the end game you stayed here for, is unable to matchmake because server overloads. This takes the entire reason to play this garbage out of the equation.
The part were you sail arround the world map is also pretty bad. And alot of content wants you to sail back and forth bouncing between islands. And that is utter crap. So boring..
The core "dungeon crawl" gameplay feels good, but it's put in the most boring quest system, and uninteresting story. A hard pass for me!
+ Warhammer 3 is out now, so ♥♥♥♥ this Lost Crap)

This game is a pain. I dont understand the hype at all?
Everything about it is feeling like a chore. Insanely repetetive, and extremely simple mehcanics. Press G, spam skills, dodge a red zones. Voila, thats it, thats all.
It feels like it lives on the visual feedback from your abilities (not unlike standard mobile games design).
People kept saying it'll be better in the End Game. But why the F should i waste so much time to reach an end game thats probably just as lame.
The story is so uninteresting i could cry, and the characters feels more shallow and empty than the people who likes this crap. (yes thats judgemental, but true).
As an mmo, i find it decent. Combat feels responsive and fluid. The menu system is pretty easy to navigate, and the co operation isnt too much nor less.
As a Dungeon Crawler it feels ♥♥♥♥. D2, POE, Grim Dawn and so on is waaaaay better in every aspect. (unless you enjoy simple mechanics with not much to choose from).
The antagonist is just as interesting as the BL3 calypso twins (wich is ZERO)
The Good guys on your team is the same. Boring, cliche, twink-looking sad excuses.
All in all it felt like i wasted all 21,7 hours i spend in this garbage.

I will however eventually revisit this to reach the end game (but warhammer 3 is on the stairs, so maybe not)
And if the end game proves to be a the swan song (kinda like Destiny 2 (boring way to the end, but funny enough at the end)) i will revisit this review.

So far all i'm saying is steer clear of this crap (unless you like simple mechanics and japanese cartoons)

Yes and yes again.

If you like the Fantasy warhammer brings, and the style of TBS/RTS Total War brings, then this is for you!

It's fun, it's addictive, you can bring a co op partner, and did i mention its fun?

You got a great amount of variety in race, faction, leaders and playstyles.

You got Humans, Rats, Beastmen, Chaos, Elves, Lizards, Dwarfes, Vampires, and the Undead.
Within those races, you got diffrent styles of factions for humans, elves and so on. High Elf, Dark Elf, Wood Elf. (Not all though, rats, lizards and so on is 1 of a kind).
Then you choose wich clan/house of the faction based on the leader, the starting location and the faction/leader abilities.
You can spend hours and hours building up your towns and armies. And just enjoy the RTS part with your insane compositions.

You can even unlock loads more from diffrent DLC's both for warhammer 1 and 2.
As a Skaven/Vampire Coast player i can reccomend:

The Prophet and the Warlock dlc: If you like your rats with miniguns, snipers and nukes :D (Not much for the lizards, but there is some decent units aswell. Mostly its for Ikit Claw skaven leader)

The Twisted and the Twilight dlc: If you like an extreme mutations on already strong units. And insanely strong free recruitment of monsters. And also this brings a somewhat simple, yet strong and fun wood elf faction. If you like archery and strong magic :D

The Vampire Coast dlc: If you like Undead Vampire pirates, zombies with guns, and giant waling shipwrecks with cannons. This is just so brilliant design. Unique playstyle. Fun!! And there is 4 diffrent leaders. (Dreadfleet and Harkon is the only 2 worth your time though)

Rarely a game lives up to the huge hype. Rarely games got deep stories with actual choices. Rarely a game is beyond awesome while suffering from visual bugs. Rarely a game delivers so much diversity in combat/stealth/skills. You see were i'm going with this?

It runs smooth, and feels greatly optimized unlike most games.
It's core gameplay mechanics are fun and plenty.
The story and voice acting is awesome.
The visuals is very well made, and the city is a masterpiece.

A downside? Hmm, visual and audio bugs from time to time. And the driving feels clunky at best.
Crafting needs a look, since you can only craft 1 thing at a time, and it's slow, oh so slow.
Breachcontrol is an awesome idea, but as a game mechanic, it becomes annoying over time. Up to the point were you just ignore it, and feel like you need a respec.

All in all, very very very good fun.

There is a reason why this is the king of shooters. enough said.
