I Tried Helldivers 2 - My Brutally Honest Review

I Tried Helldivers 2 - My Brutally Honest Review

[kiragi]

In the first helldivers, my buddies and I were being overwhelmed and I was the last of us alive. We had one open player slot and another Diver joined the game when I needed someone most. I was crushed by the drop pod and out pops Admiral Asshat. After about 10 seconds of the Admiral running and gunning he was devoured by dogs and we lost the level. 10/10.

This game is a great example of how a live service game can be a positive experience. The combat is amazing.

Arrowhead did something that live service games have to be literally hounded to do: they let us play through seasonal passes at our own rate. Seriously, any live service developer that can provide such naturally fun gameplay, provide the means to get premium passes through gameplay, and not put a time restriction on those premium passes deserve to make live service games. This needs to be a norm for live service games to be considered good.

And thank you DM for going out of a comfort zone and reviewing this game. They deserve all the praise they have earned and I hope they continue hiring to build this game up. Exosuit is coming soon and I’m sure the APC after, and I’m so hyped for it.

First game in years where it felt like I was actually in a movie. I thought I’d get bored with it quick but it’s so damn fun.

When you dive to avoid getting killed, only to get swarmed on and somehow manage to shoot your way out...pure epicness. This game goes HARD.

[GypsyDaenger]

Neat fact: your not actually respawning, your ship is just calling in another soldier to replace the one that died. You upgrade your ship and your armor is a uniform that your ships divers wear. Just a interesting take on your played character (s).

Fkin 40 dollars too. Great pickup for some co op fun. Caught my by surprise. Hope the studio sees a lot of success from this

[Juwann]

they did a great job of mixing very grounded gameplay/mechanics with sprinkles of goofy and lighthearted fun/intensity

Its one of the game that do difficulty right, More dangerous enemy and more spawn rather than just buff up the grunts dmg and hp. So your early rifle is still usable.

Congrats on the new place DM, glad to see you're looking pretty settled in! Thanks for doing a review outside of your normal realm, it was actually very informative and the reason I finally pulled the trigger on this.

[johnburns]

I really like the idea of dropping in and out of other players' instances to help out. Loved this in Division 2 and wonder why this isn't more prevalent in other games like this. W for HellDivers.

The fog in your level isn't the level.
There is an enemy structure called a "Mushroom" that produces the fog.
You need to find the mushroom and destroy it. Your visibility will be normal once you do.
They're like...4 stories tall and huge.

This game is so good. The combat is fantastic. Whether you are clearing to an objective or holding off desperately until extraction. It strikes a balance between feeling badass and vulnerable. I would definitely recommend, especially at $40.

I love the part where you go "look this guy called down a machine gun, I'm gonna call down a machine gun cause I absolutely just stole his machine gun" 😂

[badger]

I really like the way they do unlocks in this game. The finals did it really well too. You can't buy any new things with real money. You don't have to get "x" to level "y" to unlock "z"

You just grind games and unlock what you want. It feels very old school in that way. I always like having something to be working toward every game. Or like yesterday I saw a guy with a flaming auto shotgun and thought "yup that's dope. Gonna grind away until I have enough to unlock that".
Alot of games are really missing that old school sense of progression & unlocks

[MrServalan]

Your content is so good and on point. It's never gratuitous or strung out just to make for a longer video. You clearly describe the gameplay, and what you are experiencing, and even sprinkle in some pro-tips along the way. Absolutely great work!

[Sombriage]

I like how the Bugs and Terminators are very different in how they fight. The first is like dealing with a rabid animal that is just chasing after you nipping at your heels while the latter is more like a noose slowly being tightened until you choke out due to the greater emphasis on ranged combat (though it can change with higher difficulties).

[BuffaloKinggg]

I hope they show this video love because I appreciate your reviews and want you to review more stuff!

[MikeZee]

You covered pretty much everything I wanted to hear DM. Very concise and thorough play by plays, nice video!

[jamesnyers]

This was the BEST review of this game so far. Congratulations. I understood the mechanics of the game, the progression and generally what is the game about finally. You are very good at explaining things right to the point in an entertaining way. Thank you.
