A little over a year after banding together toreview bomb the game in response to some controversial changes, players ofHelldivers 2are once again review bombing the game’sSteampage, only this time with love.
WithSonyhavingremoved the region restrictions that once limited the number of areasthat could purchase itsPlayStationtitles on Steam, Helldivers 2 players are urging each other to change their negative review into a positive one.A post on the Helldivers 2 subreddit has classified the move as a Major Order, with many players quickly responding to the request.
MAJOR ORDER: Data collection from Ministry of Intelligence field operatives has confirmed that the anti-fascist efforts of the Helldivers have finally resulted in liberation from the Sony Blockade for nearly all regions of Super Earth.
The Ministry of Defense forecasts a flood of new recruits to bolster the Helldiver’s ranks, whichwere badly depletedare just as strong as ever after the brutal slaughter during the Illuminate’s Super Earth Invasion.
ORDER OVERVIEW: If a negative review was left for region lock, change negative reviews to positive.
REWARD: The Ministry of Prosperity will initiate the consideration process for a new commemorative cape depicting Democracy’s victory over Sony.
A cursory look at the game’s Steam pageshowcases an influx of positive reviews over the last 24 hours or so. “No region lock = positive review. Thanks, Sony. Always been a good game,“one reviewer wrote. Other reviews share hopes that with a lift on region restrictions, more players can join in the fun of one of 2024s breakout titles.
Helldivers 2 Isn’t The Only Game With Lifted Restrictions
As was reported on Friday,several PlayStation games, including Helldivers 2, had their region restrictions lifted, allowing players in countries that do not support PSN to finally be able to play some of the company’s most prolific titles.
Beyond Helldivers 2,The Last of Us Part 2,Marvel’s Spider-Man 2andGod of War Ragnarökwere part of the initial batch of games to get an update on the backend of Steam. It’s unclear if other games will follow suit.
The lifted restrictions follow the massive success experienced by Stellar Blade on PC,which saw its developer push back against any restrictions. In turn,the game quickly became the most-played PlayStation release on PC, with over 180,000 players at launch, more than double the next closest game.
