I don't think we should forget just how good Helldivers 2 still is. Arrowhead's co-op shooter has been a victim of its own success - when it first arrived, it felt like a revelation, one of the most enjoyable, compelling, and inventive new co-op games of the last five years. Yes, cracks have started to appear. Arrowhead has been back and forth over Helldivers 2 so many times that all the fun feels like it's been flattened out. And yes, there's still a sour taste from the PSN debacle. But HD2 is still HD2, and the foundation remains strong. As the long-awaited Illuminate faction breaks cover, Arrowhead says it's aware of the drop in positive sentiment, and has a big rebalancing plan inbound.
