Helldivers 2 Community Rallies to Reverse Review Bombing on Steam

2025-06-15 01:07:41

The Helldivers 2 community has come together in an unexpected way—by reversing previous negative reviews on Steam. This collective effort comes as a response to PlayStation's decision to remove region locks for several of its PC games, including Helldivers 2.

Since its launch last year, Helldivers 2 has experienced fluctuating review scores. Players have previously review-bombed the game to express dissatisfaction with decisions made by Sony and Arrowhead Game Studios. However, the community has shown equal enthusiasm in updating their reviews when positive changes are implemented.

Following PlayStation's removal of regional restrictions for its Steam games, Helldivers 2 fans took to Reddit to organize a "Major Order," encouraging players who had left negative reviews due to the restrictions to update them to positive ones. The game's recent Steam reviews now reflect a "Mostly Positive" rating, showcasing the impact of this community-driven initiative.

While Helldivers 2 remains unavailable in eight regions—Belarus, Cuba, Iran, Japan, North Korea, Russia, Syria, and Vietnam—its accessibility has significantly improved. This change has sparked discussions among players about whether they will finally receive the previously withheld Helldivers 2 review-bomb cape.

Despite some controversies, Helldivers 2 continues to stand out as a well-executed live-service game. The recent Battle of Super Earth event exemplifies this, engaging players in defending Mega Cities against the Illuminate forces. Such events highlight the game's potential for long-term success.
