I enjoyed it for a time. It's a particularly well executed blend of co-op and third person shooting, like the Starship Troopers game I've wanted for a while. Amusingly, there was an officially licensed Troopers game that came out shortly before Helldivers 2, and it basically went nowhere.

I stopped playing because the developers don't wish for me to continue playing at my preferred difficulty, and lock me out of mission types and progression unless I play at the annoying, stressful high difficulties they prefer.

It’s ok. I enjoyed Left 4 Dead and Deep Rock Galactic more. The game lacks content compared to those two, but that’s to be expected as its only been out a short while. Its theme feels like a homage to 1997’s Starship Troopers which gives it a strong identity.

The vision and theme and gameplay is excellent. The game is absolutely riddled with bugs, though, and every update adds more. It was a massive surprise success from a small studio and they are really struggling to keep it together, the game is made on a engine that stopped getting support like 8 years ago. It's worth the money now but hopefully in a year it's a lot more solid technically.

Is a worse Deep Rock Galactic.

It's honestly my most enjoyed game of the last few years. The feeling of boarding the Pelican right at the end of the mission never gets old.
