The only co-op game where you are scared of your teammates more than monsters

During the tutorial, I threw a grenade into a bug hole and an ant popped out and bounced my grenade back at me and killed me. I will make it my mission to never be embarrassed like that again.

Crazy to say that in February 2024, a successful 4 player coop live service third person shooter launched and it’s not the Suicide Squad. Arrowhead, with a much smaller team, accomplished what Rocksteady could not in the same amount of dev time. Gameplay loop is a blast, with procedurally generated missions giving what appears to be a lot of replay value. To me this is Deep Rock Galactic without the mining and a lot more emphasis on the bug killing. Being able to earn microtransaction currency means you can unlock everything in the game through gameplay. A breath of fresh air in the AAA multiplayer game space that seems motivated to squeeze every last dollar out of you. Highly recommend

Instead of investing in a heater, fight automatons on max graphics settings, your PC will heat up your entire apartment complex.

I've been struggling with getting into multiplayer shooters and their competitive nature, but with this game being PVE, and everyone is collectively working towards the same goal, has made me enjoy shooters again.

Got knocked out of bounds by some exploding mushrooms, was declared a traitor for abandoning the mission, and then got nuked from orbit.
10/10 - I'm doing my part.

Well.. 100 hours later, almost max rank, all achievements unlocked, and basically everything purchased besides some ship modules, it's time to review.
This game is fantastic and would recommend it to anyone, I think we can all agree HD2 has brought us all back to our golden-era of gaming where we couldn't wait to come home and play.
No game, besides Elden Ring has done that for me in years and it's a feeling that is highly valued in my gaming experience.
The developers are amazing at rolling out updates/communicating with the community, and yes, while the server limit can be annoying at first, think about how great of a success this really is in the long run. Not only for Arrowhead, but other companies that have maybe looked away from this type of game in the past due to it's uncertainty in the market.
There are a few bugs and inconsistencies that I have ran into but nothing super game-breaking, mostly temporary annoyance but it can be dealt with, and 100% sure will be fixed soon.
I look forward to the future of this game, there was a ton of content in HD1 and I would love to see that implemented in HD2. I think this game has longevity if it's done right.
For $40, in this market, is incredible for the type of experience we've been blessed with, and even if it was one of those games you play for a month and never touch again, it has been the best one out of all of them.
Also, as cool as it would be, unfortunately I highly doubt Xbox would get a port, but-but maybe 343 will decide to create an ODST game with the same principles and instead of Helldivers, we're Helljumpers fighting the flood and the covenant, which would be just as awesome.
To freedom and democracy! o7
