Helldivers 2 creative lead Johan Pilestedt shares his thoughts on players “review bombing” Magicka, linking it to player disapproval about Sony’s Helldivers 2 account linking controversy. Helldivers 2 has been one of the biggest success stories of recent years, with the game seeing overwhelming success following its 2024 debut. The shooter has sold more than 19 million copies as of October 2025, and was the recipient of “Best Ongoing Game” and “Best Multiplayer Game” at the 2024 Game Awards. However, things have not been all positive for the breakout hit from Arrowhead Game Studios.
