The Helldivers 2 review bombing continues to reach new heights, as the once beloved title has now become Steam’s most negatively reviewed game among all paid titles.
In early May, Helldivers 2 broke the internet with the announcement that it would require all players to have aPlayStation account to play the game. While it may not seem like a big deal for PlayStation gamers, Steam players weren’t having it and didn’t want to create PS accounts. And that’s without taking into account that many parts of the worldcan’t even make an account.
What has ensued since the announcement has been borderline chaos, as players worldwide have expressed widespread displeasure. Community managers have tried to calm players by claiming they’re on our side and thatthey don’t like these changes, either.
To voice displeasure, Steam players havereview bombed the living liberty out of Helldivers 2. The negative reviews have worked wonders, as Helldivers 2 now sits amongst the top of the most negatively reviewed paid titles on the digital storefront.
With the top 3 titles, anyone can go in and leave a review due to their nature as free-to-play titles. Additionally, all of these games have been around for years. In a matter of days, Helldivers 2 is approaching their amount of negative reviews, and only those who bought the game can voice their complaints.
While the negative reviews have flooded in, Arrowhead’s CEO has spoken at length that the studio is working with Sony to discuss options.
