Arrowhead is the best example of what AAA SHOULD be.
They listen and communicate with their community. They fight for their community and they care about their game and community, full stop.

I love Helldivers 2 so much, definitely a game of the year for me and I'm very happy with how this terrible situation all turned out. They have my full support from here on out.

This game is one of the most fun games I've played in a long time. The proximity chat is insanely fun with friends and even random people I meet through the game. The unique behavior of all the creatures is what really makes the game interesting too. Interacting with with each of them with friends is either a huge laugh or a very joyfully stressful screaming and running away fest. The creatures are all so unique too. Certain ones add so much dread when exploring around each area and almost always find ways to scare or surprise me.

The way you rely on friend inside the buildings or even from the ship is super interesting and every item in the store is very interesting and useful in some way making for very interesting load-outs or utility.

I could go on but i'll just say if you like horror that doesn't take itself too serious but is also very scary and playing with friends, get this game. It's difficult but the learning curve is so much fun to go through and you won't regret it. I really hope this game thrives and continues being updated and added to. The potential is insane and the fact that it's this good while still in early access is amazing. 100/10 game for me.

Super fun game to play alone or with friends. Combining and stacking items on each character is very satisfying and things get very crazy. There is so much replay value as well so it's definitely worth every penny.

Edit: You better not screw it up Gearbox......

Edit 2: They screwed it up instantly and no one was surprised. Everything feels off. Loads of damage and mechanics are tied to FPS. Damage and low health indicators in the form of red screen flashes and overlays are gone so you have no feedback when taking damage. Health UI is terrible and takes forever to update when you take damage further making it hard to notice. Lots of survivor abilities have delayed activation. The game overall is so unbelievably broken after Gearbox got their hands on it and it's sad to see one of my favorite games be completely ruined by another AAA studio.

Thanks Gearbox

Edit 3: They actually put out a patch pretty fast that basically reverted the game to how it was. All the bugs from above are for the most part patched and the game feels great. Maybe Gearbox ain't that bad. Overall, the seekers of the storm DLC is pretty fun and fits pretty well into the game and now with the massive bugs patched, i highly recommend this game again.

Man I love this game. Great art style, great gameplay, outstanding soundtrack. 11/10 easily

This game has soooo much potential but it's all wasted on clunky controls and mechanics. if you aren't assault, you just stand around while your team gets killed and then die with them. if you are assault, you hopelessly beat on the killer as he kills you and your friends anyway. as it is now, there is no strategy, you are just at the killer's mercy.

Stamina is a HUUUGE turn off for me. It's such a handicap and annoying to deal with in any game

Don't even get me started on the spider... what a crap addition... Faster than the kids so you can't run away, has a ranged attack that causes EoF slowness and damage which ends a game faster than pulling your ethernet cord out.

The game has an objective, but good luck experiencing that. This game is more of a dying simulator than anything else. You run into the killer and he smacks you like 3 times and you're dead... no one can save you once you're on the floor... might as well not even have a incap mechanic honestly.... I've played about 20 games now and haven't even completed a single objective. it's either a complete wash or the killer pities you and lets you go only to kill everyone later because that's how much power they have.

such an absolute shame... waiting years for this game to come out and it's a complete ♥♥♥♥ show...

Personally, I can't stand this game after going through a good chunk of it. Every small enemy you encounter takes about 3 to 4 deflects before you can land a, might I add, "unsatisfying" death blow. Larger enemies such as the generals or large animals require 2 death blows and like 100 deflects before each death blow. It gets very tedious when you encounter a mini boss/boss enemy and go through a good 10 minutes deflecting and attacking to your heart's content only to be killed in one hit and have to start all over. I'm also having a lot of trouble with the controls as it seems 70% of the time, my deflects and movements are restricted or just not registering. I don't have the temper or patience to sit through these long underwhelming battles with pretty undesirable outcomes win or lose.

Another thing I would like to point out is that this game does NOT NEED A DEATH PENALTY! It is already very punishing and the loss of progress on death just adds to the frustration. I rarely find myself able to level up or increase any of my stats, and when I finally do, I feel no different. This also leads me into my 3rd giant problem with the game, the progression. The progression in this game feels empty... Sure you can find different modifications for your prosthetic but You only have 1 main weapon and the assist items, perks, and combat arts are just plain useless. I find myself getting killed more when I used some of the combat arts rather than just the boring old deflect/slash/repeat. As for combat arts, I expect this super awesome looking new move to deal tons of damage but the pay off is underwhelming and usually just leaves you open to 1 or 2 hit kills. I think I've played this game more than enough to give it a personal verdict worth listening to.

With all this being said, it is an awesome game and I know FromSoftware worked hard on and put their heart soul into it. Unfortunately, it just isn't for me. People will love this game, master it and make it look easy, but again I just lack the patience to learn monotonous patterns over and over again. I don't know if I'll ever beat it. Not because I don't want to, but because I simply can not. It doesn't look good for me that's for sure.

This game's community makes me want to #### ## ####

Honestly, my favorite game! This never gets old! Going on 3000 hours and don't plan to stop soon!

After a long break from this game, I come back to it with an addiction that any drug can't match! this game is a masterpiece.
