It is one of the video games of the moment. Helldivers 2 has won the hearts of many lovers of explosions and shootouts. It has become the best PlayStation launch on PC… and it has come with serious server problems. Arrowhead Game Studios is releasing updates almost daily to fine-tune the experience.
Meanwhile, the players are taking the first steps of what we hope will be a very long war campaign throughout the universe of Helldivers 2. There are two open fronts: Automata, Terminator-style robots, and Terminids, very unpleasant hive-type bugs. Wars move between planets and systems as we regain or lose territories.
