This continuous evolution has actually seen Joel getting up at unsociable hours to sort out situations when the Helldivers 2 team realised the game wasn't as balanced as it could be. As well as giving the Automatons a bit of a helping hand in the middle of the night, Joel has also had to put his thinking cap on when players liberated the first batch of Terminid planets ahead of schedule, resulting in a day of "nothing happening" before the next event took place. Attribution "With its high-chaos, high-comedy firefights, it's a riot to play with friends," Emma Kent wrote in Eurogamer's Helldivers 2 review, awarding it four stars.
