TL;DR

Helldivers 2 is facing mounting backlash as Steam user reviews trend Mostly Negative over the past 30 days due to balance concerns (buffs to enemies and nerfs to weapons) and a paywall behind War Bonds, with fans also criticizing the developers’ communication; Arrowhead apologized via a Steam blog post and promised greater transparency, more public betas, and balance-focused updates, but skepticism remains ahead of upcoming summer changes.
