Sony are Bozo's for ruining a good game.


----- Older Review -----

Fun game but monetisation that locks actual gear progression behind a premium currency. I can't fully recommend this game in good faith because of Sony's shamelessly unapologetic and obviously greedy monetisation, as well as the vehement defence from some community members of the game who want to defend such predatory practices by triple A publishers.
Reminder that this is a paid game, not a free to play game, which costs anywhere from $40 to $70 ($50 to $80 in my currency).

However this review has been revised to reflect the positive outlook of Helldivers 2 and also include the fact you can technically earn premium currency slowly, and enough of it, in order to unlock at least the first premium warbond for free. However it does remain that some gear is locked behind a premium currency which is not a good outlook for a game's future. If it was purely cosmetic and not gear for the player then there would be no issue or point of complaint, but there is as the game is a paid game and not a free to play game where typically you would see a battlepass or premium currency.

I would recommend this game if you like overly comedic games that don't take themselves seriously and are fun to play. I've liked Hell Divers since i played the original one many years ago, and own both Helldivers 1 & 2.
