About this Game:
- HELLDIVERS 2 is a 3rd person squad-based shooter that sees the elite forces of the Helldivers battling to win an intergalactic struggle to rid the galaxy of the rising alien threats. From a 3rd person perspective, players use a variety of weapons (pistols, machine guns, flamethrowers) and stratagems (turrets, airstrikes, etc.) to shoot and kill the alien threats. Players can also aim down the sights for a more accurate 1st person camera view. Combat is accompanied by frequent sprays of blood and dismemberment as players exterminate the alien forces or players and squad mates are hit by environmental explosions or friendly fire. Enemy encampments and battlefield environments depict bloodstains and dismembered corpses.

Each deployment is 5-45 min depending on how you play. Each mission set is usually 3 types of mission ( blow up X, move X to Y, survive X). Each player gets 5 respawns, dying isn't important, the mission is the priority, it doesn't always matter if you survive (as long as you get the mission done). There is a "meta" but that's boring, so there is 40+ different strategems (orbitals, airstrikes, big guns, turrets, etc) you can choose from.
It's PvE, has friendly fire, has various play styles, is hilarious at times and other times is just pure chaos. Watch some videos and see if it's your bag.
If you are into ranking, k/d, metas, PvP, mass multiplayer, "seasons", cosmetics, 4x, resource gathering, or other types of games this might not groove.
P.S. it has in game credits (super credits) that you can buy to unlock premium battle pass things. they have new armor and guns. The best thing is as you unlock new things, you get these credits. Just finishing the default included battlepass grants you 750 super credits. The premium ones cost 1000 and give you 300 when you complete them. You also can find super credits by playing (10-100 each mission).

It's not for everyone.
Like HellDivers 2, it is highly-repetitve, chaotic, and lots of fun with friends on voice comms. And it also has toxic players who PVP and grief each other. In the end, it was these toxic players that led me to stop playing HellDivers 1.
The best moments were when the whole squad just got killed but you or one of the players throws the last reinforce right at the last second, to bring the whole squad back and keep the mission going. Good times, good times.
I earned a special Community Cape reporting bugs to them on HellDivers 1. They were super-responsive, often fixing things within the next 1 or 2 patch releases.
I fully expect ArrowHead to fix all the serious issues with HellDivers 2 within 6 months of the original launch date.
BTW, I wasn't the one who downvoted you--if I did, I'd be a hypocrite. The way I turned into an impromptu beta tester for ArrowHead was that I started by pointing out the bugs, and they were kind and mature enough to receive my input gratefully as constructive criticism.
Even with randoms the game is much more enjoyable. According to steam Im at 30 hours which is a LOT for me, and I dont feel its repetitive yet. The music and soundFX are incredible. You FEEL every explosion. Its great.
I do feel like im using the same weapons and stratagems a lot though. Wish they'd balance everything out better and let us test out weapons before buying.

All the missions and orders are really weird cause you have such a small impact on whatever you are doing and difficulty doesn't matter whether you play level 1 or 9
It's interesting to play a PvE kind of game again like L4D and the military style gameplay is just what we need if you are tired of the COD crap they throw out these days
Yes the game is repetitive kind of. But for an adult that need to work and take care of wife and kids. A simple 15-30min run without thinking too much and don't need to dive in complicated control and mechanic is a totally plus.
It remind me of L4D2. Also fun and chaos and simple.
If you want AAA game that has long play and long story don't buy it.
