Steam : Despite a complicated launch, this action game is THE nugget for early 2024
Every year, more than ten thousand games are released on Steam. 2024 will undoubtedly be no exception to this rule, with the first few weeks already busy. Palworld, Enshrouded, Granblue Fantasy: Relink, TEKKEN 8, the wonderful surprises follow one another, to the delight of the biggest players. But one title has left its mark, an action game which presents itself as THE gem of early 2024 for many, despite a complicated launch.
helldivers II or the revelation of this early February 2024
There are many notable releases at the start of 2024. A boon for video game aficionados, especially since almost all genres are affected. So there is something for everyone, something to delight even the most skeptical. But of course, some titles stand out more than others. And since February 8, lovers of action, explosions and insect massacres can dive into HELLDIVERS II. Direct continuation of HELLDIVERS from 2015, HELLDIVERS II opt here for a camera located just behind the player, for more immersion.
With simple mechanics, gameplay that’s easy to learn but full of subtleties, HELLDIVERS II is simply enjoyable. A romp from Arrowhead Games Studios that sends players to defend the lands of Humanity against a hostile galaxy full of insects. A pitch reminiscent of the cult Starship Troopers, a dose of nostalgia that hits the mark. “The last line of attack in the galaxy. Enlist with the Helldivers and join the fight for freedom across a hostile galaxy in this fierce and frenetic third-person shooter.” offers us the description of the game, which peaked at more than 155,000 simultaneous connections 3 days after its launch.
Very good alone but excellent with others, HELLDIVERS II offers different missions, all with their challenges. You are propelled to the surface of a planet ravaged by insects and your goal is simple: complete the objective. But be careful, your ammunition is limited. You will therefore have to keep an eye on your health, your chargers and above all, the weather. Shameless waves of insects continually come at you, and they need to be exterminated as efficiently as possible. To help you in this task, capabilities are available to you. And to seduce your eyes, these are explosive.
As a Michael Bay film would do so well, HELLDIVERS II rains napalm, explosives and other goodies on your targets. But be careful, friendly fire is activated. Despite average ratings from its launch, due to crashes, bugs and other server problems of all kinds, HELLDIVERS II was able to win back the hearts of players by patching quickly. Its state is not yet 100% stable, as recent server maintenance has proven, but HELLDIVERS II is in a clean enough condition to be properly appreciated. If the genre appeals to you, go for it with your eyes closed.
