Inspired by Starship Troopers, Helldivers 2 is a highly satirical shooter that has you spread peace, liberty and managed democracy across the stars through the use of overwhelming firepower. And much like Starship Troopers, despite obviously being cannon fodder with the life expectancy measured in minutes, Helldivers 2 does a phenomenal job of making you feel like you're an unstoppable badass... all the way until you accidentally call down an orbital bombardment directly on your head and send yourself flying into the stratosphere Team Rocket style!

So if you're curious about where exactly Helldivers 2 excels, as well as where it misses the mark and falls flat on its face, allow me to share with you my thoughts after spending well over 70 hours playing it since launch. Spoiler alert: it's pretty darn good!
