Just when it started to feel like the gaming industry had become soulless, Helldivers 2 made its grand entrance and is reigniting the hopes of players. Live-service games don’t have the best reputation for being consumer-friendly, and even some recent AAA (or AAAA) titles proved that, but Arrowhead has managed to put an unmatched amount of fun into its game, leading to countless gamers enjoying it, regardless of whether they’re playing with friends or strangers.

Ever since Arrowhead Game Studios launched its latest title, gamers can’t get enough of it, with more players joining the battle to save Super Earth every single day and breaking records on multiple platforms such as Steam. Naturally, a lot of the conversation surrounding the game finds its way to the Helldivers 2 subreddit, where fans come together to discuss various aspects of it while also describing their endless love for it.

The level of success that the co-op multiplayer title has managed to achieve does not happen without its player base being completely satisfied with what it has to offer, and it is safe to say that gamers are more than content with the experience.

One such happy Helldivers 2 player shared their thoughts on the game, stating that “This game revived the feeling of can’t wait to get home & play again,” which seems like something that had been missing from the world of gaming for quite some time. The Reddit user continued by saying that “watching videos & actually playing it is really a different feeling,” calling it an extremely “fun game.”

What makes the post even more wholesome is that the gamer was actually “at work” while typing it, and similar to so many other people whose hearts Arrowhead Game Studios has found a way to, they are “eager to jump back in” as soon as they get back home.
