OK, criticism is fine, by reskined Helldivers? It’s nothing like Helldivers. It’s an extraction shooter, with a focus on PvP.

I guess Helldivers is a shooter where you extract, but it isn’t an extraction shooter. Extraction shooters are like Escape from Tarkov, Gray Zone, and the upcoming ARC Raiders. They’re about entering a game with items, collecting loot, and leaving. If you die you lose everything you brought. Nothing like Helldivers.

That makes even less sense to me. Nothing in the original game is about collecting resources or leaving the ship

  Nope. I don’t really know why they decided to do this, but it does use the existing lore. The Phor are going to be involved, and a bunch of other Marathon stuff is going to be used. It’s almost the exact opposite game mode of what Marathon was though.
