What drives the score
Grades: S best, D weakest
S is the best grade and D the weakest, judged as a buyer. ▲ raises the score, ▼ lowers it, ? is an input we do not have, • is a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work
What players say
Absolute banger, fantastic emotes, cant believe they didn't do a helldivers 2 crossover with this iconic masterpiece. Would recommend (w/ friends). Fr tho, good ~5 hour campaign with some friends was fun
