After the massive success of the controversial Palword, it looks like Arrowhead Studios and Sony have a breakout hit of their own with Helldivers II. The game - which launched on February 8th - is so successful that devs continue to have issues with servers that cannot handle everyone trying to get online to join their friends to spread democracy.
The game is currently no. 2 on Steam's Most Played Games with over 300,000 players. As of this posting, its peak users hit 422,935 players. And that doesn't include PlayStation 5 players.
The game is available for PlayStation 5 and PC. It is currently not available for Xbox or Xbox Game Pass. IGN scored the game a 9/10. More scores here.
“HELLDIVERS™ 2 is a 3rd person squad-based shooter that sees the elite forces of the Helldivers battling to win an intergalactic struggle to rid the galaxy of the rising alien threats. From a 3rd person perspective, players use a variety of weapons (pistols, machine guns, flamethrowers) and stratagems (turrets, airstrikes, etc.) to shoot and kill the alien threats. Players can also aim down the sights for a more accurate 1st person camera view. Combat is accompanied by frequent sprays of blood and dismemberment as players exterminate the alien forces or players and squad mates are hit by environmental explosions or friendly fire. Enemy encampments and battlefield environments depict bloodstains and dismembered corpses.”
