Helldivers
Maybe you don’t want to go through the drought alone, but you still want to face a serious challenge. Then Helldivers may just be to your liking. The folks over at Arrowhead Game Studios put together one of the toughest co-op experiences out there, and it is as fun as you could hope for. But, be warned, this awesome 2015 release is not for the faint of heart.
The worlds of Helldivers are brutal. Well coordinated teamwork is of the utmost importance, especially since friendly fire is always on. This means no going lone-wolf or acting with reckless abandon. Communication is key, and the escalating challenges provided to teams that last long enough will undoubtedly provide hours upon hours of play. Between taking down impossibly large alien hordes and shouting at your friends until you lose your voice you’ll hardly even notice that you’re in the middle of the summer gaming drought. Helldivers is available on the PS4, PS3, and the Vita.
