Helldivers 2 on PlayStation 5
Helldivers 2 joins Risk of Rain 2 in offering a sequel that utilizes an entirely different perspective and then absolutely crushes it. While I had hoped for something to hold me over until the English release of Earth Defense Force 6, I instead found the Starship Troopers game I had always wanted, complete with hilarious propaganda.
There’s not much of a story to Helldivers 2, so as much as there is just a purpose. Bugs (and Automatons) are taking over the galaxy, and it is the Helldivers’ responsibility to ensure that at-risk planets are swiftly liberated. This is easier said than done, as planets are highly infested, and it will take all the explosions and bullets possible to turn the tide in the Galactic War.
