I'm not typically a fan of shooters - I have no interest in Counterstrike, Tarkov, Call of Duty, PUBG, Valorant, Apex, etc. But Helldivers 2 is just amazing. They really know how to make a great game - this isn't a competitive esports title, it's just an amazingly fun co-operative experience with friends or strangers. I can't say enough positive things about the game. They USED to have server capacity issues as they weren't expecting so many players, but this seems to be solved now.

I find it really easy to 'get into character' and really try to be successful with the missions, extracting, and of course focusing on liberty, democracy, justice, freedom. Good times, especially with friends.

And if you're 'concerned' about the recent balance patch, I wouldn't be, game is still as fun as ever for me.
