it is a choose your own adventure story. it covers very important real life topics. in a slightly futuristic shell.

I bought this game on steam with the intention of playing it on steam.
I do not now nor will I ever have a playstation account.

Forcing players to link or be banned from the game months after launch is unacceptable.
I would refund this if I had the opportunity to do so.
Honestly absurd behavior from Arrowhead.

Update:
Sony has now walked back the PSN requirement. They have also blocked the game from being purchased in any region that doesn't support PSN which is close to 170 countries.

My review stays negative until all Helldivers can dive.

it has some bugs still having only just released. though fewer than what it had during the pre release. they are working hard and quick to reduce game breaking bugs and crashes at time of writing.

if you can have fun with a game that will crash from a few times an hour to maybe once a day. (depending on just how unlucky or lucky you are really) and you like the 40k aesthetic then i can say you will probably really enjoy this game.

if you have a harder time enjoying games that are still buggy, i would skip this for now and check back when they have had a good amount of time to polish things up. though if they are able to continue at the same rate they are going now on fixing bugs. that may not be all that long. say give it 2 months or so. and see where it is.

its a story about a cat. a cat that fights back. but he does not have a gat. still a great cat. he even has a little pack on his back. and just like a cat he will tear up some mats. game also had a lack of hats. so you wont get any cat in a hat.

secret word Appreciate.

this game will absolutely grab your emotions and rip them from you. exposing them for what they are and showing you a truth you may not been all that aware of. don't be afraid of that though, after all whether you realize it or not now, your not alone.

this game is absolutely worth a play, as are the 2 games before it, which you really need to go through before this.

if you answer the questions seriously and honestly, well in my case it was quite accurate, and though i very likely wont be taking its advice, even though its solid good advice, (and its pretty sad to think i wont be taking it in my instance) it will very likely show you a truth you may not have realized in your life.

my secret word is, deserving.

This is a very Thought provoking "game" it seeks to probe who you are, and if you are truly honest with how you answer, i think you really have a chance to learn something about yourself you may not realize, i am sure a lot of people will see it as a kind of horoscope, but i personally think it goes a bit deeper than that.

my secret word is: Gifted

game good, you should play game. it is a factory builder, and have i mentioned its good. because it is, and you should play it.

Let me start by saying i want to like this game a LOT. the first hour to hour and a half were pretty fun. had some difficulty but not overwhelming. then the curve hit. found an enemy that you seemingly cant stun, and will never stop attacking with un blockable attacks and can cover ground faster than you, unfortunatly if you die to said enemy you are doomed to forever repeat your attempts at killing them as when you die the enemy that kills you steals all your exp up to that point from your last skill point, and the only way to get it back is by going after the thing that killed you. so if your up for a rousing game of smash head into wall until bloody and then continue some more then this is the game for you. by all means get it play it you will have a blast no doubt. but if you on the other hand want to feel like you somehow have some meaningful power as a force wielder against even strong foes, best move on because if its a big strong foe your light saber and powers might as well be a feather fan and some lotion for its skin. and fighting the SAME enemy some 20 times while at the same time having to make your way BACK to the enemy that killed you is just a time sink and infuriating. will i play it again. maybe, when i want to see what smacking my head into the wall feels like again, sadly i doubt i will EVER see the rest of the game since this one guy impeads my way.. verdict for me.. does not mater how well or good the rest of the game is, as it has ended for me here...price not worth an hour and a half of content for me.

i have played all of the sniper elite games, and i must say so far it seems this line of games is running aginst the grain when it comes to sequels. most games that have sequels seem to get worse as the developers change things here and there. while this game series seems to be getting better as they change things here and there. 10/10

if you liked the previous iteration, you should enjoy this one as well.

if you were on the fence for the previous game, i would say buy it and give it a shot. remember if you are not feeling it to stop playing within 2 hours and you can always refund. but again, i think it deservs a shot.
