Helldivers 2 (PlayStation 5)

I can't believe Helldivers actually has a sequel now. I don't know if it's a good solo game, but we might play some coop soon, which I'm looking forward to.

I went through training and beat a Bug mission. It's fun, but I need some co-op partners.

I joined up with Mikkel G, his colleague Dan, and a stranger that entered our game before Mikkel set up the privacy settings. We played a bunch of missions until 1 at night. We both played against Bugs and the evil Robots.

I played two missions, but one got stuck, and the other I didn't seem to get anything out of after being stuck in the mission finished screen for a long time. Maybe I shouldn't play this at night.

I did a solo mission, then was joined by Mikkel for a mission, and then played some more solo. Playing solo against the bugs, Easy or Medium seems OK, but I get destroyed even on Easy against the Bots.

I got destroyed by bugs on Erata Prime. Zero survivors, 3/5 star mission success, a 'Worthwhile Sacrifice'.

I saw Ikaros online, and joined the game. First I was playing with Tuki, and shortly after Mikkel joined the game. It was great fun to play with them. Later on, I joined Erik for some more bug extermination. I got the Watchdog assault rifle equipped drone and a laser rifle. Great progress.

Launching nukes and killing bugs.

The latest update gives free access to 1 mech, which is a gamechanger. I need to be level 25 to permanently unlock it, though.

I think I need to get a Shield Generator Pack.

I'm playing on Challenging to get the rare samples.

I defeated a Bile Titan. I used air strikes and the mighty Recoilless Rifle.

I just played a fun session where Mikkel G joined. We played some truly harrowing missions on Challenging difficulty.

I managed to collect enough Super Credits to unlock the Steeled Veterans Warbond (it's like a battle pass). I got some Incendiary Grenades which are cool, and the Incendiary Shotgun, which I thought I would like - however, it gets me killed, because it doesn't kill enemies fast enough. I think it's better for multiplayer games than solo play.

I played a few missions with Mikkel and Erik, it didn't go well, I'm too tired. Then Malu wanted to play, and she started playing on her own profile. She's doing well, even joined a few games with other players and supported them.

I tried a Hard mission solo and failed hard. Challenging seems more fair, and I still get rare samples, so I can upgrade my stuff.

I spent 1250 'PlayStation Stars' reward points (that I've been getting by buying games) on 375 Super Credits and got myself another War Bond. It feels less wrong to spend one fake currency on another than buying it for my hard earned DKK.

I found a Detailed analysis of Patrol Spawning.
