I think the negative reviews are justified. I also believe CA is solely addressing Unit Recruitment issues and using it to limit the range of their fixes. This serves as a functional cop-out of any kind of AI Rework or Overhaul that this game desperately needs. It should be genuinely embarrassing for CA that modders who do it for the love of the game and for free are better at improving their AI than their paid development studio is.

I'll take a moment to quote Former Creative Assembly developer Julian McKinlay when he revealed in an interview that CA's management "instructed us not to improve [the AI] in certain ways, because they believed that players enjoyed being able to dominate the AI".

In many ways, it's quite clear that CA's management is the reason for most decisions around TW, not the developers. It explains why there are so many DLCs and yet still so many flaws. Profit efficiency is their priority. But profit margins don't strictly get us a better game. The sudden ability to address issues in the community as a result of the recent backlash and negativity around the broken AI is proof that they'll mobilize when their bottom line is threatened. The pressure can't let up if they only fix the Unit Recruitment issues. If that's where they stop, it will prove McKinlay was right; CA's TW management intentionally cripples the AI because they believe Total War players only want a power fantasy. They're wrong. They should fix the primary opponent that all TW players face in the campaign. They should overhaul the AI, and not just the Campaign AI. The Battle AI too. I'm sick of facing a brain-dead mob of enemies. I'm sick of having to give them cheats just so I can have a challenge. This is NOT acceptable from a HUNDRED-MILLION dollar company, and players should want and expect more from them if we're to fork over our money for the base game and the roughly TWENTY EIGHT DLCs on top of them.

TLDR: I can't recommend this game in its current state for anyone wanting a challenge in a strategy game. However, if you want to curbstomp brain-dead AI and face next to no challenge, or conversely, if you want to give the AI massive cheats just to have any semblance of challenge while constantly fighting from a disadvantageous position, then you may enjoy this game, but only if you enjoy Total War games.

Incredible game that's already Game of the Year so far in my opinion.
Incredible publisher that has already turned my positive review into a negative review.

I'd rather not make a PSN account, thanks.

(I feel bad for Arrowhead Game Studios after all their immense effort and attention to detail just to be ♥♥♥♥ on by Sony's questionable decision-making in relation to the forced usage and linking of PSN accounts.)

Things to look forward to:

January 2025: Sony manages to get hacked by some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ called "xXBasementBossHacker69Xx" causing all Helldivers 2 linked PSN account personal details to be leaked.
February 2025: Sony accidentally shares your home address online causing "Anti-Diver_Bug" to locate your place of dwelling, causing a bug breach and resulting in your untimely demise.
March 2025: Sony is hacked by the Automatons allowing them to locate your grave site (Because lets be real, they'd probably collect that info) and drop a Factory Strider on top of your corpse destroying any remnant of your existence bar faint memories of you that your loved ones might've had-
April 2025: BEFORE SONY GOT HACKED BY SUPER EARTH AND THEIR HOME ADDRESSES GOT LEAKED AND THEY GOT HELLDIVED ON FOR ANTI-MANAGED DEMOCRATIC SENTIMENT!!!

Good job, Sony HQ liberated.

Great game, even in early access. Already played through all of the early access content and eagerly awaiting more!

P.S. I love Larian Studios so bias is included in my review.

Great game! Worth a download.
