I dont get the hype for Helldivers or Lethal Company.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I think Lethal Company is popular because it is a great experience with friends, especially with mods. The horror aspect of people just going silent when dead and not knowing if you are the last alive, feeling like everything is going fine and turning a corner to find a monster that has you dead to rights, and the non-serious almost parody meta make it entertaining beyond the core gameplay.

Helldivers is also a great friends game and the bigger picture meta of the game gives a greater goal than to just complete the mission. It feels like you are part of something bigger than just that match while you are just ripping through enemies. It apparently was originally a Halo ODST Helljumper game pitch that Microsoft didn't think was good, hilarious that they didn't greenlight it in retrospect.

Lethal company is by far not the first game to do this tho and it's not really the most polished one out there.

The lack of polish is charming and not detracting because the gameplay and in-game universe is fun.

Me neither. Personally I have had more fun with Nightingale and Enshrouded and hope they will continue working on these games.
