Helldivers 2 review - team kills and bug-stomping thrills


Eurogamer's review of Helldivers 2, a high-chaos, high-comedy shooter that's a riot to play with friends.

This diverts the aim of my throw ever-so-slightly to the left - instead of gracefully arcing through the air towards the robot facility, the beacon bounces off a large rock, drops to the floor, and lands at the feet of my squad. Helldivers 2 is often vague about how you complete these objectives, largely allowing you to figure things out on your own - which only leans into the idea that a bunch of new recruits have been dropped on a planet with little training, handed a ton of explosives, and been told to 'get on with it'. | Image credit: Sony Interactive Entertainment / Eurogamer Players in my matchmaking sessions seemed to have remarkably good etiquette, apologising for team kills, and frequently using supply packs to help each other stock up on ammo.
