Commercially speaking, “Helldivers 2” appears to be a complete success for Arrowhead Game Studios and PlayStation. The first ratings are also there and reach a high value despite the initial difficulties. At the same time, the developer promises an upcoming event with more rewards.
“Helldivers 2 had an equally successful and bumpy launch last week. The shooter from Arrowhead Game Studios and PlayStation remains the best-selling game on Steam. There is no current information from the PlayStation Store. However, the PS5 version was at launch responsible for about half of sales.
There were no test reports for “Helldivers 2” before its market launch. However, the first reviews are now arriving on Metacritic and provide a preliminary overall score.
Testers and players largely satisfied
The initial problems, which have still not been resolved, apparently only have a small impact on the mood of players and testers.
The metascore is currently with a value of 83. It should be noted here that initially only seven ratings are used, which should change in the coming days.
Gaming store for example writes: “Helldivers 2 is essentially the first game, only bigger, louder and more epic in scale. Despite the matchmaking issues and much-needed improvements, the game is very enjoyable.”
It looks similar PlayStation Universe. “Helldivers 2” is an extremely fun, often unintentionally funny and bombastic squad shooter that cleverly builds a long-term future. According to PSU, the basics of the first part have been transformed into a current-gen game that sets “new standards for extraction shooters”.
We also looked at “Helldivers 2” and report on our assessment so far in the following article:
While the PLAY3.DE test will follow at a later date, the players are also largely impressed with “Helldivers 2”. The user score on Metacritic is 8.5. In the PlayStation Store there is now an average of 4.35 stars. And the mood on Steam also improved after initially mixed user opinions.
The following picture currently emerges, whereby the PSN rating has been converted into the 10 system:
Metascore: 83
User-Score: 8,5
PSN-Score: 8,7
Steam: 75% positiv
The final values are therefore unlikely to have been reached, so there may be shifts.
