Helldivers, Game of the Year?
Helldivers, the game on everybody's minds, is currently one of if not the game with the highest player count on steam beating games like Dota 2, counter strike 2 and the notorious P.U.B.G. Helldivers 2 is a sequel to the game Helldivers where an intergalactic war is happening between humanity, which has now turned to managed democracy to keep everyone together in peace, Terminids which are socialist bugs that refuse to let humanity take over their territory and finally the Automatons which are an evolved version of the cyborgs from Helldivers 1. All of this has created a galactic war where Humanity remains supreme.
Helldivers 1, the predecessor to Helldivers 2, was the same game as its newer version just with a top down view and less great features. So when the announcement for a second game was made all previous fans were awaiting a new third person experience with the same elements of the first game but improved by the hard work of Arrowhead Studios.
