Like a lot of the community, I never played the original Helldivers, I had watched a few streamers play it but twin stick was never my type of game. When I saw the gameplay of Helldivers 2 I knew this was a game for me. I sat there trying to get into the servers for more time than I'd like to admit because after my first match I was hooked. This game is by no means perfect, but it shines like a lighthouse in a storm of terrible AAA games and over-hyped early access titles. I haven't had a game pull me in like this in a very long time and almost everything about the core of the game is fun. Moment to moment each match feels like the type of action we only see in cutscenes from other titles. The microtransactions are the least aggressive I've seen and you can realistically earn enough Super Credits to buy everything in the store just by playing the game and exploring. Outside of buying the game I've yet to spend a dollar more and have managed to earn everything currently in the store rotation.

I've been able to join in on random people and have an enjoyable time which is almost unheard of for most titles today. The Devs weren't ready for this game to take off like it did but they have done an excellent job staying afloat and continuing to create an experience that's worth returning to. I can't wait to see what comes next and I can't recommend this game enough. Ignore the "Meta" builds, get creative, work with your team and just have fun. At the end of the day we're all here to spread Managed Democracy and give every xeno a taste of freedom. Let the Devs work and balance, not every change will be perfect, just provide constructive feedback and keep things positive.

Spill Oil Helldivers, I'll see you at The Creek.
