The Campaign is absolutely incredible. It’s a fun story. It is a bit short. If you play on max difficulty it’s a bit overwhelming and frustrating but it is doable. The end game needs some work. There are 7 pve maps as of a few days ago from 6. The development team took a page out of the Helldivers 2 handbook and pretty much made it not very fun. Ammo is scarce and is not shared amongst your team. Medical supplies are even more scarce and also not shared. It’s a first come first serve basis. The team AI is absolutely horrible. Finding a full team can be a chore at times. I don’t play pvp but what I can tell you is just like in pve you start a character fresh. Your pve and pvp characters are not shared nor are the customization. You will have to farm all your upgrades and gear separately per mode. I still think the game will become better as soon as the developers realize not everyone wants to play Dark Souls. It’s a fun game but not worth the high cost. Wait for it to be on sale or as a free game one day.

Helldivers 2 started out extremely fun and very addicting. There was a lot of promise with this game. Helldivers was a fresh take on an action game with a very fun and interesting lore to its story arc. After about 2 months the developing studio Arrowhead started decreasing the power (aka nerfing) of certain weapons because they were what people called “The Meta”. Most of the primary weapons in the game were very useless. When players found weapons that worked well, Arrowhead would nerf those weapons to put them in line with the majority of the other weapons that were “not fun to play with”. This caused an uproar within the Helldivers community. Some players would say “Why nerf a PvE game” and other players for the changes would say “Git Good”. Overall a majority of players were upset by these changes. Since launch Helldivers has lost nearly 90% of its player base due to bad decisions made by Arrowhead. They have had changes in leadership within the last few months but nothing has really come from it. Overall, Helldivers had some fantastic potential to be the game of the year but constant nerfs has driven this game to the ground. An angry community moves on to other games. Unfortunately this game will be nothing in the next few months unless drastic change occurs. I truly feel bad for the Arrowhead staff, these men and woman have put a lot of heart and soul into making Helldivers 2. It will be sad when Arrowhead starts firing employees because only a few people are left to play the game. This game still has potential to be great. In the next few months we will see. Currently the game gets 5 stars out of 10.
