UPDATE: Changing login requirements months after launch, completely locking players in certain regions out of playing the game is an incredibly scummy thing to do. I can no longer recommend a game that is willing to lock players out of playing a game they possibly invested hundreds of hours into already on a whim. Let the below stand as a recommendation of the game BEFORE this change of policy.

UPDATE 2: Sony has reversed their decision to enforce PSN accounts for PC players. Helldivers everywhere rejoice in the win for liberty!

An honestly fun horde shooter with friends or randoms. 'Strategems' as your special abilities that require a level of concentration on button combos to execute rather than a single button press, leaning into the more intense moments where a well timed call-in may be the difference between life or death.

While live service games are ragged on rather frequently, usually for good reason, Helldivers 2 does it in a way that both works with the community on the story progression side, as well as feeling fair with obtaining premium currency without paying on the unlocks side.
