Say what you will about the Illuminate, but their war on Super Earth has made Helldivers 2 more intense than ever

Super Earth defenders fighting Illuminate forces across a war-torn city in Helldivers 2.

Helldivers 2 is having a moment. The recent Heart of Democracy update has brought the battle to Super Earth, pitting the Helldivers in a desperate battle against the Illuminate to determine humanity's fate. The update is Helldivers 2 writ large, with the chaos and intensity turned up to 11.

It's also perhaps the most fun I've ever had in Helldivers 2, even if the teammates, civilians and AI-controlled friendly soldiers that I've been teamkilling don't quite feel the same way.
