I’m glad to see so many people enjoying Helldivers 2. It is an awesome game and it certainly deserves the praise it’s currently receiving… except… the game is EXACTLY what it was in Helldivers 1. To the Tee. The progression, the gameplay loop, the weapons the stratagems, hell even the diving and crawling., it’s the exact same game but in 3rd person.
Dont get me wrong, it’s totally awesome, it’s gorgeous, it’s hilarious, but for someone who played the original an extensive amount, idk I kinda was hoping for more.
I wanted new gameplay elements, a story, more in depth upgrades. Something that I haven’t already done in Helldivers.
I’m currently about 20 hours in, so maybe there’s more I haven’t seen yet. But from what I can tell, it’s Helldivers 1 Remastered. And once the novelty wears off for all the people who are new to the series, they too may begin to feel the need for more.
