Helldivers Review | GameCloud Australia

"I like to imagine that the devs were giggling away to themselves while making this game, just as I was while playing it. The entire game is tongue-in-cheek and has a refreshingly heavy focus on making some solid gameplay, even if that gameplay leads to smashed controllers and incoherently raging at online strangers. I would have liked for there to be a bit more in-game exploration of the story that surrounds Super Earth, but its absence doesn’t negatively impact the game. While the visuals aren’t particularly amazing, the music is definitely spot-on for the ultra-jingoistic atmosphere that they’re trying to create. Whether you love or hate this game rests entirely in how much patience you have for dying over and over, and whether you can get in on the joke. For me, that wasn’t a huge ask and I’ll happily throw myself to the grinder for the glory of Super Earth!"
