At first I did not like this game but its grown on me
1. Server times have been fixed which is pretty cool
2. The game gets consistent updates and patches

one thing I do see a lot is people crying about the anti cheat rooting into your system, I'm a little technical so to explain why this is so dumb we'll use hell divers 2 as an example and Apex as another with Easy anti cheat

1. Helldivers anti cheat is just like the rest, what does this mean?

well people crying about the anti cheat being rooted also don't know that popular anti cheats like Easy anti cheat, Battle eye, PunkBuster, and more are all rooted! Woohoo! Just about every anti cheat system is a rooted program so I don't see why its so fair to be ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on hell divers 2 for having a rooted anti cheat but not games like Rainbow six siege, fortnite, call of duty, ect, we don't. Its cause the majority of people are uneducated on the topic and only hear about it from one game instead of looking at how these types of programs actually work. Now on the basis that the company had been leaked, yes, but I haven't found anything recent about any sort of break in to the company in anyway, no hacks, no leaks, so I think the anti cheat company got on top of their game. Another thing is people saying the anti cheat doesn't work, now I'm not familiar with hell divers 2 anti cheat in anyway but I can say the NORMAL situation is that cheats evolve faster than a game does, C# is a really hard language to detect for some games anti cheat, external programs are almost entirely invisible to anti cheat. So the fact that this game is getting hacked is not surprising to me, this game is big, new, and people wanna cheat on it, think of it like minecraft. Cheating isn't allowed and its pushed against, but there will always be a new exploit or bug for the coders to push.

"Should I get this game?"

I don't know, I'm not your dad, I'm not your mom, I don't clean your clothes, look at this game and see if you want it, but what my review is here to do is to try and educate some people on this whole topic so they can make a better decision

Btw yes the game is buggy, but this game was released not even 3 months ago, its not as bad as 76, so maybe we should all calm down about the bugs, and understand this game just hit the market recently. At least this game is getting patches
