Helldivers 2 is a pretty unique game when it comes to its story, as a seemingly never-ending Galactic War keeps moving whether you're part of it or not.

While it's fun to keep up with the Galactic War with each video, this is also a pretty neat piece of preservation that should be fun to look back on when Helldivers 2 is eventually left behind. With the game being online only, and no
