Lloyd Coombes · Sep 02, 2025 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - A chaotic co-op shooter where every mission feels meaningful and every bullet counts. Arrowhead nails the formula again with innovative gunplay and strategy-focused narrative.
Mahi Araf · Jul 27, 2025 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Helldivers 2 is truly a game of the year contender. The gunplay and gameplay is excellent. The variety invites you to keep hoping into one mission or another. The difficulty ramps from fun barrel shoots to harried and hair-raising struggles on the edge of a knife. However, the overall experience greatly suffers when playing as a solo player. If you have a group, dive in to hell. If not, be careful out there, soldier, and watch your back. The bugs aren't your only enemies.
Rob Larkin · Mar 15, 2024 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Helldivers II is a sterling success through its potent fusion of polished gunplay, overwhelming odds, and an unapologetically satirical tone. By remaining so thoroughly committed to the bit through world-building, presentation, and so on, it's pure bliss to revel in the joyous destruction against bug and automaton alike. After all, I believe it was Thomas Jefferson who said "the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." And we can't have tyrants destroying our very way of life now, can we?
Lee Mehr · Mar 12, 2024 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Helldivers 2 evolves from its predecessor with a visually stunning shift to a third-person perspective, enriched by an 80s sci-fi ambiance and humor that cleverly satirizes military propaganda and the concept of war. While the game impresses with its diverse enemies and cooperative gameplay, it struggles with performance issues on consoles and a gameplay balance that heavily relies on cooldown-dependent stratagems. Despite these challenges, the game has seen significant post-launch improvements by its dedicated developers, leading to a massive surge in its player base. Helldivers 2 ultimately stands out as a significant advancement in the franchise, offering an engaging blend of strategic gameplay and thematic depth.
Dan · Mar 12, 2024 Reviewed onRead full review - Helldivers 2 is what every future live service game should aspire to be going forward. Beyond the stellar gameplay and the community building, we need more games like this and Deep Rock Galactic. Not the stress-induced run towards extract kind, but rather games that respect players’ time and money. Just don’t feel pressured to buy everything from the store just yet. The war is far from over and there are yet more sinister forces at play here pulling the strings from behind the scenes. There’s no better time than now to get into the thick of the action.
Erickson Melchor · Mar 04, 2024 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Amid the fiasco of quadruple-A games and lucrative live-action micro-transacting titles, Helldivers 2 is a much-needed breath of fresh air. It reminds us what games are meant to be – heaps of fun. As you get down and dirty, incessantly spreading the gospel of Super Earth’s values by waging intergalactic war against the robots and bugs, here’s to hoping that Arrowhead Game Studios can return the favour by squashing some of its technical bugs too.
Yong Le · Mar 04, 2024 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Helldivers 2 is the best game of 2024 so far, only being held back by the fact that the small team at Arrowhead Studios was not expecting so many players to flood the servers at launch. Since then, the significant issues have been fixed, and it is clear that Arrowhead is committed to continuing to fix technical problems as well as adding new content like mechs. Its combination of tactical gameplay, explosive battles, and hilarious friendly fire, all for the highly patriotic price of $40, is impossible to pass on.
