Helldivers 2 Faces Server, Microtransaction Backlash

Helldivers 2 Hit by Wave of Negative Reviews Amid Server Issues and Microtransaction Backlash

May 30, 2025

The highly anticipated co-op shooter Helldivers 2, developed by Arrowhead Game Studios, has been met with a surge of negative reviews on Steam and other platforms just weeks after its launch. Players are expressing frustration over persistent server instability, aggressive microtransactions, and a lack of meaningful content updates compared to the original game.

Server Struggles Leave Players Stranded

Many reviewers report being unable to join matches due to chronic server disconnects and long queue times. Despite multiple patches from the developers, the issues persist, leaving squads of players stranded mid-mission.

'I love the gameplay, but I can't even play with my friends half the time,' wrote one Steam user. 'The servers are a disaster, and it’s killing the fun.'

Microtransaction Controversy

Another major point of criticism is the game’s monetization model. While Helldivers 2 is a premium-priced title, it includes a battle pass and an in-game store selling cosmetic items at high prices. Some players argue that the grind for in-game currency is excessive, pushing them toward paid shortcuts.

'The first game was about teamwork and skill, not who spent the most money on armor skins,' complained a Reddit user in a trending thread.

Developer Response

Arrowhead has acknowledged the complaints, promising fixes in an upcoming patch. In a recent tweet, the studio said: 'We hear your concerns and are working around the clock to improve server stability and address feedback on progression.'

Despite the backlash, some fans remain hopeful, citing the original Helldivers’ strong post-launch support. However, unless significant changes are made soon, the negative sentiment could overshadow the game’s potential.

For now, Helldivers 2 sits at a 'Mixed' rating on Steam, with many players urging others to wait before purchasing. Will Arrowhead turn the tide, or will this sequel struggle to recover? Only time—and patches—will tell.
