Helldivers 2 (PS5 and PC)

What a game. Recommend this especially for the price. £30 and better than most full price games out.

After the reviews and that it's like starship troopers I thought I'd try it. Not usually the sort of game I go for since shooters normally need a lot of practice to get enjoyment and i dont have or want to spend the time doing this. Played this for a couple of hours and had a good time. Not scratched the surface but it was good to jump in on my own, join a team and you automatically start working together.

The music is absolutely incredible in it too.

Bought it on the weekend, only got through the tutorial and first little mission so far, but will be delving deeper once I have more time on my hands.

It's easy to get into, not serious, the missions are basic but you can do as much or as little as you want, it's the perfect game to jump into with some friends and just have a laugh... I think it's great value for £30!

Just get used to the stratagems and how they all play. Friendly fire is a fucker in this. Worst thing when you've collected loads of samples to get done by someone just shitting themselves and calling in a cluster strike. Then someone over the other side of the map who's just called in the evacuation brings you back next to them.

And don't just buy every stratagem. Have a look and see what will work for you. Early doors things like don't buy the machine gun sentry. Save the money as a few levels later you'll get the gatling sentry and you'll never use the machine sentry hardly then.

Also play early missions for a bit to get used to how the maps and levels work. You'll level up quick enough that way. Soon as you start going up the levels too quick you'll soon know. When you get the first chargers running at you and you have very little to beat them you'll just get frustrated.

And when you come across stalkers, pay attention to where they are coming from. Go to where they come from, and destroy the nest. It's the only way to stop them.

Played a few more hours tonight. I reckon the key here is no pvp. Only been in one game so far where people were being dickheads.

This is definitely the shooter game where you can go in without having played loads of hours in other shooters and still have fun. Reminds me of online games about 15 years ago in a way.

I use the machine gun AND gatling sentries. Means you've always got one in reserve when you really need one.

They both went in high, that's factually correct, both tried to play the ball at height.  Doku with his foot, Mac Allister with his chest.

The tweaks they made last coupe of weeks have ruined a fun game
