"While it may not look like much on the surface, Helldivers has a hell of a lot going on once players dig in, and being a disposable interstellar trooper raiding death planets has never been more perfectly captured than it is here." ... Read full review

"Helldivers is an excellent mix of tactics and action. The freedom it offers through weapons and Stratagem-skills makes it possible for everybody to create their own way of playing this game. The difficulty level is nice and high, which makes the co-op experience even more intense. This game might look a bit generic, the gameplay is so much fun that you won't even notice." ...

"Gameplay is quick, satisfying, and often chaotic, and the stratagem system gives the action a unique identity. The only question mark here is the one that hangs over the title's community, which must be sustained if the shooter is to realise its impressive potential." ... Read full review

Helldivers is a game that shouldn't be as good as it is. My first impressions were of an utterly unremarkable twin-stick shooter. AfterHelldivers is a game that shouldn't be as good as it is. My first impressions were of an utterly unremarkable twin-stick shooter. After hundreds of hours of gameplay, I can assure you that could not be further from the truth.

Boasting infinite randomly-generated missions and maps, dozens of unique weapons and stratagems, high skill cap gameplay that rewards awareness, quick decision making and constantly teaches the player new tricks, Helldivers is a brilliantly designed and executed game that stands amongst the best titles of the generation, and never stops giving.

As you rank up, you will discover certain tools and strategies that worst best. However, the real joy of Helldivers is trying out every weapon, every stratagem, and making them work.

The developers have released generous DLC in the form of new equipment. These are all worth the purchase, but there is no pay-to-win, here. All missions are beatable with the stock weapons and stratagems, but the DLC is there for those that love the game and want more.

Helldivers is almost certainly the best co-op title available on PS4, and there is an argument to be made that it is the best game, period, on the system. To call it an underappreciated gem would be an understatement. This is game that knows exactly what it is, and executes that vision to flawless perfection.

Total blast. Baldur's Gate meets Starship Troopers. Absolutely addicting and the best $20 I've spent on a game in recent memory. So much funTotal blast. Baldur's Gate meets Starship Troopers. Absolutely addicting and the best $20 I've spent on a game in recent memory. So much fun and seemingly unlimited playability. I've found myself playing this exclusively now for a couple weeks. Who knew spreading democracy throughout the universe could be so fun. The online co-op is where its at. Link up as a foursome and have at some bug killing. Lots of fun weapons and level ups. I hope there's a sequel. Game rocks. Expand

It's a great game, very fun, the co opt works fantastic. It could use more stories and varied missions though. It you like Diablo and Starship troopers with a bunch of Warhammer 40K thrown it, you'll love it. Expand

There is nothing "easy" about the game which is great. Even on "Medium" levels with 4 players you will die. Well worth the 17.99 I paid. Expand

The games network protocol are all p2p with small updates done to the community stats done by arrowhead servers. We connect to each otherThe games network protocol are all p2p with small updates done to the community stats done by arrowhead servers. We connect to each other using our psn accounts, so you need to be logged in to play with other people. Its not bad but when problems start to occur such as weekends when you can't get a game and you've been looking forward to it all week, well that just leaves a bad taste in your mouth. We pay monthly money for our playstation plus service and they can't provide a server for a game they sold for free? Seriously? Like wtf Sony! This is cheap as, fact! Happily pulling in the dosh whilst providing minimial tech capital investment to look after you're customers and developers.

I have heard Sony can be hard to talk to and developers like arrowhead can have some difficulties getting things done. I have this game a 0 mainly because Sony didn't make it, don't support it, should never have been entitle to own its trademark. That's just wrong.
