Sobre Helldivers 2 Gameplay

All in all, Helldivers 2 is a fantastic co-op game with lots of content (and arguably the best structure to live service I’ve seen in a long time) wrapped up in a nice $quarenta package. The price point is right (even if you take into consideration the additional $20 “upgrade”), the content is plentiful and it feels like a game that respects your time. I genuinely have a hard time saying anything negative about the game, especially now that the servers are stabilized and the developers are active on Twitter (X, if you care about that detail) updating the community about game updates and stability hiccups.

Watch your ammo! This isn't just a suggestion to watch when your ammo is depleted, but also watch when you reload. If you reload before emptying your clip, you throw away crucial ammo.

There’s really not much to explain upfront. It’s the future, and Earth – now known as Super Earth – considers itself under threat from alien monsters on distant planets – planets that just happen to be rich in mineral deposits. You start out with a basic spaceship and a rudimentary warrior, then you select a world to visit and a mission to undertake, then touchdown on the surface to begin educating the locals in the joys of militarised democracy.

Should I play the original Helldivers game first? Well, Helldivers 2 isn’t the continuation of an on-going storyline, so you don’t need to have played the original game released back in 2015 – but we’d definitely recommend taking a look, as it scored very highly with critics.

’s success. Along with the ridiculous barks, like a spray of bullets followed by a “taste democracy” scream, Helldivers 2 also employs gaming’s most eternal comedy gimmick: ragdoll physics. Sometimes a Charger (the aptly named bug that charges at you) will blast you cem feet to safety completely on accident, or maybe your squadmate misplaced a grenade and you see their newly limbless body whip across the screen at the speed of sound.

The new gameplay footage showed Helldivers 2 Gameplay a bit of the co-op in action, giving a preview of how some of the various mechanics work as players take on a massive bug-like monster called the Bile Titan.

The various settings options mostly speak for themselves. There are two options of note though. The volumetric fog option seems to alter the resolution of the volumetric lighting in general, with lower resolution results at lower settings, while the anti-aliasing toggle actually does work properly on PC, completely turning off any AA treatment. It's weird that this setting doesn't do anything on PS5 but at least it functions as described on PC. However, the lack of any form of reconstruction option such as DLSS, XeSS or even FSR 2 is a real shame. Instead, a simple spatial upscaler is used, which bears the hallmarks of the OG FSR, just like PS5. Unfortunately, the unexciting visual settings do mean that the upgrades over PS5 aren't as large as you might expect. There's little difference between the PC at max settings at 4K and the PS5 in its quality mode, absent some slightly higher resolution shadows and a bit of a cleaner image. It still doesn't provide a pristine image though and aliasing remains a significant problem.

As the second installment to the series, we expect the in-game content to shake up the original formula, but the limited trailers we are working with aren’t giving away too much information. That said, there are a few things we can pinpoint from what we have seen.

It’s a game focused on being a game, which is for you to have fun, and I think that’s the perfect way to make a fun sequel.

We also learn a little bit about how important it is to strategize with your comrades to avoid lacking essential amour or equipment for certain enemies which you’ll inevitably need to face.  

If there’s anything that concerned me about my time with Helldivers 2, it’s that after three hours I felt like I’d played a whole lot of the content available in the game, which makes use of procedural generation to drop players onto the surface of various planets to complete generic objectives like launching an ICBM or destroying a specific military target.

As you play Helldivers 2, you'll be tasked with completing daily Personal Orders with simple objectives like "kill 200 Terminids," as well as weekly, community-wide Major Orders that challenge the game's entire player base to complete enough missions on the planets listed to liberate them.

Helldivers 2 doesn’t exactly have a story to tell. It’s an elite force from Super Earth consisting of freedom fighters asking you to enlist and help spread democracy in the solar system.
