PlayStation 5 User Reviews

Good morning Helldivers, Unfortunately with recent changes to Helldivers 2, I have decided to drop the game. My in game name is RyuTheConqueror and I've been playing this game for over three years. It used to be an enjoyable game and at times it really was fun and entertaining with some of the updates they made. Unfortunately all good things must come to an end. As time went on, it felt as if the devs started to take the fun away by making unnecessary changes or just not fixing current issues in general. At one point I think one of the devs said they see it as a grunt fantasy. But thats the thing, we're not grunts. We're supposed to be Super Earth's finest but... it seemed that as time passed and the 'balancing' came, i think they made it clear that they really do see us as just... grunts. One of there past updates changed Hive Guards from medium pen to heavy pen, if you play against Terminids a lot then you know this was a very very bad 'balancing' change. On a more recent update they 'balanced' a couple of primary weapons, one of which was the JAR Dominator. This weapon is one of the reasons I kept playing there buggy game. The balancing they did, made the JAR Dominator very unrealistic with the resupply and unreliable at that point. Changing things that are good, to worse seems to be Arrowheads moto unfortunately. There are multiple issues that have been present since I started playing such as the invisible walls that larger Terminid enemies create. For those who've deployed on Oshaune and Omnicron, you know what I mean. Larger enemies(Imaler, Bile Titan, both Chargers & Dragonroaches) create an invisible wall around there vicinity. The path looks clear, but when you try to go that way you hit an invisible wall. Sometimes you even get stuck in these invisible walls which ultimately gets you killed. The predator strain hunters are still able to jump through basically any object or wall to reach you. All smaller to medium sized Terminids STILL clip through walls and are able to hit you through walls. The list goes on. I have tried addressing these issues & bugs to Arrowhead but a member of there team simply brushed it off as a suggestion. Upon creating a ticket, I was told that these issues were a suggestion and that I needed to go to discord and write it out in there 'suggestion & feedback' page. If this is considered a suggestion, I cannot imagine what Arrowhead considers an issue. Simply put, I'm tired of this. I guess overtime you get fatigued but not from Helldivers 2 no, its a decent game. You get the fatigued from Arrowhead not properly fixing issues that have been present for so long. You get fatigued when they start ruining your favorite weapons or mechanics. So unfortunately, this is Ryu The Conqueror signing off and quitting this game for good. It was a good run and we certainly had some good times but... the game is officially unplayable for me now with recent changes. Best regards, Ryu

The game used to be great, and could have been amazing by now if the developers actually worked on making the game more fun rather than just going back and forth with balance patches that usually do more harm than good.

I've got a group of four friends i've known since childhood and it was a long while since we all had a game to jump into that we all enjoyed... Then we got the call from Super Earth and we all knew we had to do our part. Seriously this game brought back my group of friends and each and every play session was fun, engaging and down right hilarious. There has been no game I have ever played where it made an entire fan base stand together when they decided they wanted to have PC players sign into PSN accounts. I never cared much about this but watching the back lash and eventual reversal of the initial announcement was a once in a lifetime thing and made me realize just how amazing this game and how dedicated this fan base was. They made a lot of pro consumer choices throughout the initial launch period and I loved every minute of it. One of the most fun Coop shooters I've ever played.

The game was incredible at launch. However the devs showed their true colors over time. Antagonizing the player base. Purposefully ruining the experience and fun of the game to feed their ego and grunt fantasy kink. They just love to abuse us and create problems to sell solutions. But they sure as hell don’t care about fixing the countless bugs and issues. Without counting most of the game was outsourced to top it all off. Overall. Just don’t spend on it. Take it from someone who loved playing back in the days

It was a very good game at launch, but every update since 2024 has made the game worse. The developers do not understand why people enjoy their game, and it shows. Every patch takes away more than it adds. Every change shows a lack of care and understanding. Changing mechanics to be less fun. Prioritizing selling new content while leaving old content and features broken for years. There is no content after the first ~20 hours that you can get without paying money. A recent update started paywalling vehicles for the first time and broke the game completely for Linux and Steam deck. Not to mention that performance is genuinely the worst I've seen in any modern game, likely due to its kernel level anticheat that doesn't stop cheaters. If I reviewed this a few months after launch I'd give it a 9. Now? The game is literally unplayable, with random crashes and hard locks that, in one occasion, forced me to replace my motherboard. I cannot give a game I can no longer play even a mediocre score.

Don't Buy This Game!!! Let me be clear. This game is great, but the studio Arrowhead (AH) and the devs are too busy killing their own game. It is a constant cycle of "its so over" and "we are so back." This game is currently uphold by players' hope that the incompetent devs can somehow improve the game instead of destorying the game through their pathetic ego and **** head of AH said they are not focusing on any progression, any fixes to the mistakes they made or take in any feedback from the wider community. They are stuck in thier own bubble focusing purely on player count and only listen to yes-men who listen to them. Look at the recent AMA (Ask me anything), they did on reddit. It was the worst AMA I have ever seen, it is only delusion and deflection. The devs **** at their own game but they still want to make it into their "grunt fantasy." The only progression you will get is by paying (warbond, aka season pass). The AH from the start of this game is dead. The only thing that remains is greed and **** devs will lie to you over and over again. They will make things harder for you, rules that apply to you does not apply to the enemy. The only time they actually fix anything is either 1) player count dips so low, they can't ignore anymore, such as during the 60 day patch when they were nerfing everything and ignoring everyone or 2) before the release of a new warbond, since they are greedy POS who creates problems so they can sell you the **** you have some semblance of intelligence, unlike the glazedivers too busy defending the devs like all the nintendo and playstation fanboys, look at all their promises. From better communication, to not nerfing what our equipment (like the Coyote), and look at how their Mods and devs talk to the players when there are no cameras pointing at them. They are delusional at best, incompetent people who got lucky at worst. The devs have been constantly increasing their studio size but the quality of work has been only getting worse. A side note, look at the content, from the battle for super earth, the squids, cyberstan, these are not the work of AH. They outsource everything to a 3rd studio, they are only there to put it into the game and do some balancing (to AH balancing means nerfing everything that is fun). AH will fix a harmless bugs like leaving the shuttle during extraction but will not fix bugs like enemy clipping through terrain. This game has no hope with the current people in charge, it would been better if it was to be handed off to another studio.

Le jeu est beau graphiquement le système de stratagème et cool mais les quelques **** bug enlève 1 pts à ma note est le gameplay redondant enlève à son 1 pts sans compter sur les rares joueurs toxiques et la difficulté pour trouver des super-crédits (monet principale du jeu pour s'acheter des pack, des skins, des armes qui fait perdre à mon sens 1 pts. ma est donc de 7/10 ou 14/20

Potential to be one of the best co-op games; Would give 8, but the current state of the community and dev vs players energy is off . Lying and denying about in game modifications is what is going to hurt the game further . Every update has new bugs , it’s almost impressive

Democracy baby, do I really need to say more ? Best co-up game for sure, stay free .

Beautiful, amazing even, this will go down as the greatest invention since the wheel and even then that circular slab of nothingness doesn't come close to the freedom and democracy this game emanates.

¿Qué puedo decir de este juego? Es UNA OBRA MAESTRA. Helldivers 2, es sin duda alguna el juego cooperativo PVE más divertido e inmersivo que he jugado en mi vida, ¿a quien no le gusta masacrar una especie entera en nombre de la democracia tutelada? No puedo decir mucho de este juego, es simplemente increíble.

Impressionante o quão divertido é Helldivers 2, tantas possibilidades de coisas que podem acontecer dentro do mapa, diversão garantida com seus amigos, desafiador também para aqueles que procuram desafio, com muitos equipamentos, armas, trajes, etc. Talvez conteúdos mais rápidos pudessem torna-lo ainda melhor.

Don't buy if you don't have a friend to play with. Also a lot of bugs, even after 2 years. Damn.

Great game to play with friends and do dumb stuff, but balance and changes to the game need to be there, like when the guy got dox for asking bout is crazy till this happens it is staying as a 9

Having paid 70 euros. It wouldn't even be worth 1 for the zero fun i had and never should have bought this hoping for the **** game it is. Zero gains to ruining other players fun. Zero goals. Zero good reason to pay money for compared to addictions that f u up

O jogo é ótimo, sem bugs ou travamentos. Comecei a jogar tem uns 2 meses e estou achando muito divertido. A comunidade é muito amigável, mesmo quando entra uma pessoa aleatória em sua partida sempre há um ótimo nivel de cooperação. Vale a pena demais. Estou como os EUA, espalhando democracia pela garganta a baixo do universo!

I love this game, but recently it's a horrible game. With every update it seems like the Devs don't care at all about their game and especially not about it's community. Every update makes the game techincal condition worse and worse. For over two years we are waiting and asking for content. The only current content in form of weapons, gear and armor is behind paid Battlepasses. Players that played since release have absolutely no progress at all right now. The Devs care so much about their game, that only one single person is in charge of balancing right now. Much if recent content was outsourced by other studios, which explains why it feels half baked.

games good but too simple. u land in shoot aliens do tasks and leave and do that over and over again. its fun if ur a casual gamer.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

Started playing about 10 months after it was released & it’s The only live service game I’ve ever played.I just refuse to play that type of game. I payed $30 for the game and happily put another $30 after playing several weeks. The developers are extremely generous with finding in game credits to buy warbonds. You can farm for them easy & earning resources to upgrade the ship & your items are easy to earn when doing missions & having hella fun. About 90% of the time I played with random people & had a great **** community is really friendly & it’s easy to play with who ever shows up. By order of fun I like fighting the bots, voteless & bugs. But whatever the main missions was I spread democracy relentlessly. Great game. Easy to drop in at anytime.

BEST GAME EVER!!! IS A MASTERPIECE, HARD, FUNNY AND DEMOCRATIC!!! I LIKE IT!!! THE MISSIONS, THE WEAPONS... EVERYTHING!!! YOU SHOULD PLAY IT IF YOU ARE BORED OF FASCISM!!!

The game has a lot of problems and bugs, its still one of my favorite pve shooters of all time

Incredible game. I like every mission and it is a lot of fun doing the mission objectives, testing different loadouts. Amazing.

“A game with a great concept that is slowly losing its rating due to poor live service management.” 1. Game SystemHelldivers has a very innovative core concept. The game systems themselves are also well designed. One of its biggest strengths is the freedom to create your own build depending on the mission and region. You can play aggressively, defensively, or focus on a support-oriented role, which makes the gameplay appealing and flexible. 2. Bugs The game suffers from many strange and frustrating bugs. Once these bugs appear, they are often left unresolved for nearly a year. Because of this, it is honestly difficult to expect that issues will be fixed in a timely manner. 3. Incompetent Live Service Management This is a live service game, meaning that weapon balance and mechanics can be adjusted freely by the developers. In theory, this requires careful and thoughtful balance decisions. However, in practice, the game frequently spawns an excessive number of enemies at mid-to-high difficulty levels without providing players with sufficient tools to deal with them.Meanwhile, the developers responsible for balancing often push players toward equipment and strategies that are impractical or difficult to use in real gameplay. At the same time, they artificially increase difficulty by adding enemies that serve little meaningful purpose. By “meaningless enemies,” I mean enemies that are extremely difficult to deal with through normal combat, forcing players into stealth-focused gameplay instead.Anyone who has played on difficulty levels 9 or 10 (the highest difficulties) will understand how unreasonable this design feels. And even then, this is not a game where stealth gameplay is particularly easy or forgiving. 4. Overall Verdict (Conclusion) The game’s greatest strength is that it is a four-player cooperative experience. However, if the live service management had been handled even slightly better, this could have been a game that players enjoyed for a long time without such a massive loss of its player base. Instead, it leaves a strong sense of **** those who have not played the game yet, I would only recommend it as a casual experience. If you are someone who enjoys pushing into high-difficulty content, I strongly recommend staying away from this game.

Helldivers 2 is a fun game, thats about all I have to say, its good, but it does get old.

The game is great but terribly optimized for PC; it crashes 3 of every 5 matches, but crashes at a level that I have to manually turn off my PC.

Used to be good now they are just ruining it will change my rating when they fix all their failures. Do not download now wait till they fix it again.

El verdadero GOTY de 2024 tremenda joya unica, muy disfrutable y con una dificultad desafiante Lo recomiendo jugar con amigos pero si no tienes aun con ramdons es muy divertido

For all of the faults and issues we face with this game. Time and time again it proves to me that it’s one of the first games in a long time to hook me as it has. 1600 hours in and still fighting every day for super earth

Перехайпованная игра с сочным убийством толп мобов мощными авиудурами и всякими выпадающим с неба девайсами. Все мобы на мой вкус однообразные и предсказумые, а оружие бесполезное. Все, чем можно нанести урон, можно получить только из стратегем. То есть по сути ты бегаешь бесполезной пехтурой, цель которой выжить между вызовыами стратегем. Также критически не хватает какого-либо сюжета или истории, персонажей. Из трех врагов лично мне кажется хоть немного играбельными лишь жуки, так как там ты хотя бы видишь и слышишь, как в них сочно попадают снаряды и их разрывает, зомби и роботы чувствуются же просто как бегающие полоски хп. Основной геймплейный цикл – добеги до точки, нажми кнопки, убеги на эвакуацию – мне показался скучен. 6/10, не рекомендую.

A game that made me feel like I was in a movie. So much fun to play - have sank so many hours into it. Many worlds and missions to explore , lots of levels of difficulty to try and many combinations of stratagems and weapons to use. Perfect game.

Great game, but the balancing, grinding and optimization in this game just ****.

Gioco completamente abbandonato a se stesso dagli sviluppatori, bug e crash di sistema presenti ad ogni missione, unica prioritá di Arrowhead è quella di nerfare le armi più divertenti da usare.

What fun shootin bugs and bots. Comedy was everywhere too. Some amazing moments diving from bugs into the ship with my samples. Loved the graphics, sounds, gameplay and worlds. Ended up being unplayable with constant disconnections a month or two into release so it loses 3 points.

A train wreck of endless grinding and one endless running joke that becomes tiresome after a few hours. You run around large maps, shoot hordes of enemies constantly while completing objectives best described as busy work, you extract, you endlessly repeat. 16 paid battle passes that are nigh impossible to earn in game without endless grinding, then you have to endlessly grind for medals to unlock everything in the pass. This is not just for cosmetics either. They contain new armour, weapons, stratagems, equipment. So good luck acquiring any of this without paying money for it. This is a typical "modern" game with monetization at the forefront. It is just wearing the skin of an indie darling title.

Best multiplayer game in years. And it is getting better and better. For the democracy!

جاءت هيلدايفرز 2 حتى تؤكد أن صناعة الألعاب لازالت تقدم التجارب الرائعة والاستثنائية، أرى في هذه اللعبة الأفضل في هذا الجيل بلا منازع وتستحق وقتك ومالك.

Since release, the content has almost doubled. Satisfying shooter gameplay where you see the chunks chipping off your enemy as you shoot them. Possibily the best community in a video game. So many roleplay as Starship Trooper grunts, and the satire in this game, makes even friendly fire funny.

Helldivers 2 é divertido em coop, com boas ideias e momentos caóticos engraçados, mas se torna rapidamente repetitivo e é praticamente impossível de aproveitar sozinho. A experiência solo é frustrante e pouco divertida, deixando claro que o jogo foi feito para jogar em grupo.

Le jeu multijoueurs ultime ! Une beaucoup de gameplay etgamedisgn. I love that

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

Gets boring fast. Repetitive. Maps are the same. Doesn’t seem like this game has been out a year and a half. Clunky. Sloppy. Delayed controls. Glad I didn’t waste money on a PS5 for this

After the last update and after tons of promises about optimization and performance fixes, the game is unplayable. Also, the bugs faction is completely unbalanced now. After 500 hours of playtime, I couldn’t not accept this

Great time! Enjoy the game. Only wish the frame rate was better. Still a fun play after all these months

Didn’t realize how much fun TPS games could be until I picked up this game. Great sci-fi/co-op shooter. The community is a big reason to why this game is so good. The premium currency being earnable is a rare win for live service games. The only nitpick I have is that the content cycle feels a bit slow sometimes.

Boring,repetitive, unispiring, bland it's more amusing to stare at the wall, stupid boring overrated game

Great game, I love play with my friends, the new **** super earth need us

Best sf co-op shooter out there. Could use some bug fixes and frame drops for the latest update.

Helldivers is one of the best modern combat games. The combat is incredibl,e and the game is truly one of the best modern games
