Released in March 2015, the first Helldivers was a top-down co-op shooter that earned some impressive critical scores, landing it at an 83 on Metacritic. With a satirical Sci-Fi plot in a similar vein to Starship Troopers, some chaotically satisfying co-op gameplay, and an endless amount of replayability, the first Helldivers was well-deserving of its success. Nevertheless, its recently released sequel, Helldivers 2, blows it out of the water.
