- Helldivers is an fast-paced, funny and, most importantly, fun game. It has the same strange sense of humour found in Arrowhead's previous titles and is one of the few games that makes multiplayer worthwile, even when dropping in with random teams.
Chris Wray · Dec 15, 2015 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Helldivers is held back from an even higher score by the fact that it is, ultimately, fairly isolating for the solo player. However, Arrowhead Game Studios have still created a wonderfully entertaining game here; one that performs best when its brilliant cooperative elements are fully embraced.
Sophie Halliday · Dec 11, 2015 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Helldivers is at first a fresh, rewarding, challenging experience that stands up to any other game in terms of quality. The tangible skill increase that comes from consistent practice is as gratifying as it gets in modern gaming, but sadly that novelty wears off once other flaws start to emerge. ...It’s truly a shame, as Helldivers‘ core gameplay is among the best the industry has seen in the last six months or so. Here’s to hoping Arrowhead develops a sequel whose periphery is as good as the moment-to-moment gameplay itself.
Matt Whittaker · Mar 25, 2015 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Helldivers comes to our Vita falling a little short in terms of graphics, but luckily it's all about that gameplay; which is top notch. If graphics really aren't a deal breaker for you then I would highly suggest diving into this one.
Tyler Olthoff · Mar 18, 2015 Reviewed on VitaRead full review - It isn’t the prettiest game you can play on PS4, PS3 or Vita, but Helldivers is one of the most exhilarating, and you’ll get all three versions for the price of one. It pits you against seemingly impossible odds, arms you with a powerful, diverse toolset, and empowers you and a group of people to put the pieces together - and they all fit together beautifully.
Vince Ingenito · Mar 13, 2015 Reviewed onRead full review - As long as the network issues can be sorted out, I have a lot of great expectations for Helldivers. This can easily be one of the most fun co-op experiences all year, for both indie and AAA titles. It’s perfect for anyone looking for something to play with a few friends. The real question is though, are you ready to save the universe? If not, you should probably leave Helldivers alone. It takes some real grit and courage to join the ranks of the Heroes of the Federation. Good luck, soldier.
Nicholas Plouffe · Mar 10, 2015 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Helldivers is at its greatest when playing with friends in short bursts. If played alone, or over long periods of time, weaknesses like the small number of abilities to choose from, repetitive battles and weapons, and overly-similar missions start to show.
Alex Langley · Mar 09, 2015 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Helldivers is a hugely entertaining space romp, despite bearing a few battle scars. It is truly a game designed for precious water cooler moments, when you can tell stories of fights barely won, and anecdotes detailing white-knuckle flights from insatiable hordes. The deafening cheers heard through my microphone as the last living member of the team squashed a bug tank with three reinforcement pods, turning the tide back toward victory, is forever etched in my mind.
Cameron Woolsey · Mar 03, 2015 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Helldivers is more demanding than most top-down shooters, but tight mechanics and a smart control scheme give you a fighting chance. With a wide range of difficulty levels and endless planets to conquer, Helldivers doles out as much co-op fun as you can handle.
Jeff Marchiafava · Mar 03, 2015 Reviewed on PS4 - Helldivers is the kind of game all co-op titles should strive to be. Not only does it offer a very rewarding top-down twin-stick shooter experience, but it's co-op goes beyond your own game. The experience is one all Helldivers will share together as well all work within a unified community in order to bring democracy to the galaxy. I for one will continue to play Helldivers well after its initial release to make sure the galaxy is rid of Bugs, Cyborgs, and Illuminates, or I'll die trying.
