Overall, Helldivers is a fantastic and brilliant co-op shooter that nails the fun chaos of playing games online with your friends. The monetization, although I elaborated on quite a lot, is not a deal-breaker by any means, but rather an annoying thorn in what is otherwise a spectacular video game. That said, it can be for others, and I did wish to give it its proper clarification in case you are the kind of person who would be turned off by it. I do think you'll get your $40's worth by the time you hit your first Warbond after grinding enough premium currency, and I would say that's a fine place to stop playing. I still find myself coming back to it even after getting 100% achievements, mainly just to play with friends, even if this game isn't necessarily my favorite online co-op game to throw myself at. It plays well and has good enough writing that I find amusing that pulls me into it, and continues to do so just because of how stupidly fun it is.

Full review since Steam did not warn me about its length while I was in the middle of writing it and I don't have it in me to toss everything into the trash[backloggd.com]
