Based on the first couple of days with it, Helldivers 2 strikes me as hilarious, smartly designed, and intense whether I\u2019m playing solo, with a squad of other random Helldivers, or serving up a nice hot cup of Liber-tea across the galaxy with buddies. I still need to see more of its varied missions, unlock a wider selection of its huge catalog of weapons, emotes, armor, and abilities, and see how Managed Democracy\u2019s campaign against alien bugs and robots plays out during the long haul, so I\u2019m not ready to give a final review just yet. But for right now, I\u2019m enjoying traveling to exciting new places, meeting exotic life forms, and killing them for the glory of Super Earth. God, what a sentence.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n<\/p>\n

After a gut-busting opening piece of mandatory propaganda (refusal to pay attention is treason) that explains that Super Earth is under attack from the robotic Automatons and the \u201clegally-distinct-but-still-totally-the-bugs-from-Starship-Troopers\u201d Terminids (which are also definitely not Warhammer 40K\u2019s Tyranids!), you\u2019re dropped into Helldiver basic training. Your instructor tells you that he isn\u2019t easily impressed\u2026 before letting you know how impressed he is by the fact that you\u2019re not backing down. After mercilessly gassing you up (remember, Super Earth is run by fascists; everything they do is awesome and perfect) and telling you how invincible you are \u2013 while conveniently avoiding the fact that the average Helldiver has a lifespan of about, oh, I don\u2019t know, about 30 seconds \u2013 you\u2019re given command of your own destroyer space ship (I named mine the Elected Representative of Family Values) and sent to the front lines with your buddies.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

Once you\u2019re out in the Galactic War, you\u2019re free to head to either the Automaton or Terminid front to bring Liberty and Managed Democracy to their occupied planets. Each world has multiple missions with multiple objectives, which range from destroying Termanid eggs to activating your local, nuclear-armed ICBM. Just a regular day at the office. <\/p>\n

Every mission so far has felt different, even if I\u2019d done those objectives before.<\/section>\n

What\u2019s nice is that once I\u2019d picked my landing zone and dropped in, every mission so far has felt different, even if I\u2019d done those objectives before. That\u2019s largely because maps are distinct and unique, even on the same planet because of the way the terrain changes \u2013 one map might have a lot of water and hills, while another might be heavily forested. On top of that, each mission usually has a couple of optional objectives to complete, like blowing up outposts or terminating a treasonous broadcast. So especially if you\u2019re checking those out, no two missions play out the same way. <\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

You don\u2019t start with a big selection of gear \u2014 a couple of primary weapon options, a sidearm, and a grenade \u2014 but shooting feels satisfyingly weighty, especially with the DualSense\u2019s haptics. Plus, Helldivers 2 forces you to coordinate to succeed as a group \u2013 or play smart if you\u2019re alone. You\u2019re racing against the clock and your squad\u2019s limited reinforcements (AKA extra lives) so you have to pick your priorities, manage your resources, and choose where to spend your time. It\u2019s always challenging. <\/p>\n

What makes Helldivers 2 cool, though, are the little touches.<\/section>\n

What makes Helldivers 2 cool, though, are the little touches that make sure you\u2019re always thinking about how to manage your limited resources while hordes of bugs and robots throw themselves at your squad. Reloading, for instance, discards any remaining rounds you have in a clip; bullets don\u2019t just teleport back into your inventory. If you want to call down reinforcements, special weapons, or a resupply, you\u2019ve got to rapid-fire a series of directional inputs on the d-pad, which can be a little challenging when you\u2019re running from a horde of bugs hellbent on tearing your Helldiver limb from limb. These abilities all have cooldown timers, forcing you to be careful when picking when to deploy them and to coordinate with your teammates. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also generous with rewards. Don\u2019t have a cool weapon yet? You\u2019ll probably find something during the first mission or two. One of my favorites I\u2019ve seen so far is the Anti-Material Rifle, an anti-armor behemoth of a rifle that let me take on the huge, bile-spewing bugs without ever getting close to them — and that\u2019s handy because they can kill you in a single volley if you do. You don\u2019t get to keep these weapons once the mission ends, but it does allow you to try them out before you permanently unlock them with in-game currency you get from completing mission objectives, which is a nice touch.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

Speaking of unlocking stuff, Helldivers 2 has a ton of goodies for you to earn. Yes, there\u2019s a paid battle pass with lots of weapons and armor, but there\u2019s also a free one with more stuff than the paid one, and naturally you also unlock gear the old-fashioned way, just by completing missions. Helldivers 2 has microtransactions, sure, but thus far I\u2019ve never felt like I was missing out on anything important by not going near them.<\/p>\n

Helldivers 2 has a ton of goodies for you to earn.<\/section>\n

Better still, a lot of these unlocks can make a huge difference in how you play. One of the first things I earned was the ability to call in a stationary turret that automatically blasts away. I found out the hard way that friendly fire is a thing and this thing can kill you if you stand in front of it, which makes for some really funny moments, but it\u2019s a legitimate game-changer when you have to hold off a swarm of bugs or defend your extraction zone. I never leave the Elected Representative of Family Values without it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

If there\u2019s a downside here, it\u2019s that there\u2019s just so much stuff to unlock that it\u2019s tough to decide which things to get first. Should I save up for an airstrike, the Anti-Material Rifle, or a portable supply pack? Without a guide (like the one our IGN Guides team is actively cooking up as we speak) to help me craft a potent build it\u2019s a bit like flying blind, but again, none of those options are battle pass items so it\u2019s not like it\u2019s trying to trick you into spending money for something you don\u2019t know if you\u2019ll want. You get these by just playing. That might sound like faint praise, but in an era where so many games are trying to nickel and dime us for absolutely everything, the fact that Helldivers 2 doesn\u2019t force you to deal with a battle pass to make your experience better feels awesome.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

I still have a lot more to play before I issue a final review and a score. I feel like I\u2019ve just scratched the surface when it comes to unlocks and I\u2019ve spent most of my time killing bugs. Those robots look like they could use some freedom, and I wouldn\u2019t want to deprive them of it. So, if you\u2019ll excuse me, I\u2019m going to make myself a nice hot cup of Liber-tea and get back at it, and hopefully I\u2019ll be able to squash enough enemies to finish off this review next week. Managed Democracy isn\u2019t going to spread itself, you know.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
