What We Played #642 – Helldivers 2, Ultros & Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
The weather outside’s been frightful for most of this week, so while my step counts have suffered, I’ve been getting plenty of gaming in. And it’s been Helldivers 2 that’s really sunk its claws into me, despite having to be a little bit patient to log in and to deal with a few gremlins along the way. It’s just a whole lot of fun, and really enjoyable for both short and sharp bursts with randoms and longer play sessions with friends.
But sometimes the servers did get the better of me… and I’ve been obliged to play other things, including the Mario vs. Donkey Kong remake, and making a start with the Splatoon 3: Side Order DLC review. So, keep an eye out for those soon

Completing his prep for the launch of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Nick P grabbed the platinum for FF7 Remake and its DLC. He’s also played a bunch of Helldivers 2.
