Live-service games can feel like a blight on the video game industry sometimes, but if Helldivers 2 proves anything, it’s that the situation is a little more complicated than that. As a third-person, bigger budget sequel to an acclaimed top-down shooter, Helldivers 2 packs a lot of interesting action and strategic gameplay into an online co-op experience. It’s also had a bit of a problematic launch, with overburdened servers, optimization issues, and way too many error codes making it difficult to actually play the game – but it’s still managed to quickly attract a community of ardent fans.
