As of June 14th, Sony has still de-listed Helldivers 2 from 173 countries. We dive together or not at all.

As fun as the gameplay is, I will never return to this game due to the actions made by Sony, and my review will stay. Rest easy to all my fallen citizens. Our fight for democracy is not over. I hope for all my fellow Divers to understand, the battle has yet to have been won.

[UPDATE, 02/21/2021]

I have currently taken a break from ATLAS due to large bugs in the game that have caused me to lose inventories worth of Legendary quality gear. I can think of four distinct times where the game just broke itself causing my items to either just disappear from my inventory, or be completely unrecoverable due to where my body landed, and or it disappearing for no reason other than the Ancients want it (trust me, I've played long enough to know how long my corpse has to despawn, and the bag with it).

As much love as I have for this game, and wish to see it continue to grow. I found myself unbelievably aggravated at the perpetual issues within the community, and with the developers. The trends you will find is that each and every single update screws the game up even more than it was the last time you logged on. Within the community, the player base is so unbelievably toxic that in PVE, people will completely trap your bases, your ships, and tens of other things to make your life here MISERABLE.

Fun game, enjoyed my time playing; until I didn't. Not sure if I'll be returning unless things are addressed and the Development team gets their stuff together. If you're gonna play this, embrace the suck.


[ORIGINAL REVIEW, 12/21/20]

Let me start off by saying that this is not a bad game by any means. I truly enjoy playing this game, and I've been playing it every day for at least a few hours for the past month or so. My only suggestion is to you as someone who is buying the game, is to make sure you actually enjoy games like this. There is A LOT of grinding; for not only resources, but for taming animals, and for getting gold so that you can actually progress in the shipbuilding. It is VERY time consuming, and if you can't commit time to this game, I suggest you simply don't buy it.

For those of you who enjoy PvP, the development team is highly focused on that aspect of the game, and that player-base. For those of you who would rather a PvE only experience, unfortunately, you'll need to be prepared to be put on the back burner. The NA PVE server was recently taken down, so you will be playing on the EU PVE. Be ready for high ping at almost all times.

ATLAS uses the same UI, and is nearly virtually identical to ARK: Survival Evolved in game-play and mechanics. If you've played ARK, and enjoyed it, and you've played Sea of Thieves and enjoyed it. I can almost guarantee that you will enjoy this game. But DO NOT purchase ATLAS if you are expecting it to be perfect with no issues. It is still EARLY ACCESS.
