Picked up #Helldivers2 this week after hearing good things. I’m not big on shooters but I’m enjoying it. 

The over-the-top propaganda and militarization also plays into gameplay mechanics. The people are almost more expendable than the military “toys”. When you die, you respawn into the game as a new recruit. But calling for that machine gun is still on cooldown, so you’d better go pick one up from where that previous soldier (you) died. 😬

The community is friendly though. Probably because it’s PvE and not PvP. Though, friendly fire is enabled. I’m surprised I haven’t seen more griefers.
