As someone who lives in close proximity to New York City,

This is an accurate portrayal of daily sights.

You can pet the fox.

HELLDIVERS and HELLDIVERS 2 have taught me some valuable lessons:

The worst enemy you face on the field is yourself.

Followed by your own actions.

Then your teammates.

And their actions.

The swarming Charger Bugs? The Cyborg Hulks barreling towards you?
They're the least of your worries. I would worry more about the red beacon requesting a 380MM barrage at your feet along with the incoming rounds from that mortar sentry your teammate called down.

EDIT: As of May 4th, I have changed this review to negative in protest of the recent announcements and will change this if Sony backtracks.

EDIT: As of May 6th, the decision has been reversed! Liberty has seen us Helldivers through! With that being said, I am changing this review to positive once more.

This game perfectly captured my experience with Amazon during the holiday season a few years ago:

A survival horror experience with teammates dropping like flies to the silliest sh*t (Unobtainable shifts) and dealing with monsters (Corporate) that will eat you alive. All while trying to meet an ever growing quota.

Benefits were nice though. (Stock options and boombox)

I want to stuff my face with Aeshleigh's thighs like how I wanted to stuff my face with Colonel Sander's 11 Herbs and Spices recipe for Kentucky Fried Chicken after play this VN.
