Helldivers 2 claws its way back to "Overwhelmingly Positive" on Steam after Arrowhead puts the focus back on having fun, with over 13,000 positive reviews in the past week alone

Helldivers 2 exploded onto the scene in February to rave reviews, but a controversial decision by Sony saw it review-bombed, and then weapon nerfs got it more negative criticism. Now, reviews on Steam are finally back up to overwhelmingly positive.

The game was first review bombed back in May due to a surprise announcement that PSN accounts would be required, even for PC players. The problem is that about two-thirds of the world doesn't have access to PSN, so the game was delisted in 177 countries following the news. Steam even gave refunds to players with hundreds of hours of play time.
