The core gameplay loop of Helldivers 2 is fantastic: Shooting bugs, bots, (and soon™ aliens) is satisfying and calling in explosive barrages, mechs, among other ordnance feels impactful. The environments are beautiful (if your PC can handle them), and the soundtrack gets you in the mood to fight for Managed Democracy.

That being said, it took the devs over 2 months to deliver on this satisfying loop after consistently nerfing fun weapons patch after patch. It's in a good spot right now, but the devs are very hit or miss with their updates. On the bright side, so far it seems like when they miss, they get there eventually.
