Helldivers 2 has had, to put it one way, a hell of a week. It quickly went from one of the biggest hits of 2024 so far-a game whose success this year is only rivalled by the likes of Palworld, Balatro, and Manor Lords-to one that was widely condemned when, recently, players were told that they'd need to link their Steam accounts to a PlayStation Network (PSN) account, even if they only planned to play on PC. As a result, Helldivers 2 ended up delisted in 177 countries that don't support PSN accounts and review bombed to the point that the once beloved game sank to a 'Mostly Negative' rating on Steam. Now, however, the account linking requirement has been dropped and Helldivers 2's Steam rating is beginning to recover.
