❗ Reminder: This is a Player Vs Environment shooter game only, It is non competitive with no Player vs Player content or game modes. ❗

❌ Arrowhead (the developers) has the belief that Helldivers 2 should be a stratagem centred game despite stratagems are negatively affected by the planet's effects, rather than being support requested deployables.
This is not the impression players got at first and it's also not the main focus in gameplay so Arrowhead are sending mixed messages and seem confused when they expect players to be more strategic and use stratagems more.
(If we wanted the Anti-Tank mines then wouldn't have avoided it for so long!).

❌ Arrowhead also has a habit of nerfing weapons that are deemed Meta despite other weapons not improved upon, breaking the things that work rather than repairing the things that don't.
This is a toxic habit of weapon balancing by spreadsheets statistics, rather than gameplay balancing by feeling from the user's point of view.
Weapon balancing by statistical analysis is not appropriate especially when most other weapons feel underpowered.

❌ Lastly Sony tried to force players to register a PSN account to continue playing Helldivers when it wasn't a requirement at launch. Currently 73 countries do not have PSN as a service accessible despite players from those countries were able to play Helldivers 2 before.
We haven't forgotten and no Helldiver is left behind!

Early Access Review
Super Animal Royale is a game which almost anyone can play either solo or with friends in a team of 4.

Typically I don't like battle royal but the top down gameplay with charismatic cute animals gives this game a much more fun vibe which isn't meant to be taken seriously or competitively, and I'm pleased to say it is reflected in the player base which is often light-hearted and playful.

Weapons come in a range of rarities/qualities including: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, and Legendary.
While there is only the single map, the different biomes offer different strategic challenges which the players will have to adapt to.

As a person who thought I'd never find a battle royale game I'd like to play, I not only play this game daily but whole heartedly recommend Super Animal Royale!
Praise be to Banan!

Sadly this is one of those reviews I wish could speak better of.
A game that was on steam before Early Access was a thing, Sadly the game never left that phase either.

While there is a fair bit of mix and match of parts in customisation, the game just doesn't have much content at all and development has nearly ground to a hault.

I'm honestly am not sure if development is continuing with it.
Truly a game with potential however i don't believe it'll really ever get it.

Game content includes Emergency 5 which sets the basis of the game series for new comers, Emergency 2016 with a twist on the potential of a epidemic outbreak and Emergency 2017 dealing with the subject of terror and how it reflects in socierty. (Note: although there are anti-islamic placards displayed by protestors during their event/missions).

Emergency 20 itself is a remastering of Emergency 1, 2, 3 and 4 (also known as 9:11 First Responders) more note worthy mission; and people who have played those previous games will note that the game characterists are also remastered with Doctors riding with Ambulances. ...And pausing the game will freeze the UI too, so you can't order units about with time frozen.

As sad as it is, the graphics and 3D affect is quite poor and some of hte missions are so limited on time that the simulator quickly become a headacke.

After a hour of playing this, i started to ask myself why am i playing this... I could sigh up for a Urban Search and Rescue team and it would be more fun and less of a waste of time than this.
