Helldivers 2 review: a co-op shooter mixed with comedy genius

After a few hours, Nightingale feels like one of the weirder Elder Scrolls RPGs

The landscapes of Nightingale themselves are pretty dreamy. The forest was the first biome Inflexion created for Nightingale, and it feels like the game’s soul. How’s that for traversal,Destiny 2?

These are worlds that hold mysteries, as hard as the quest logs and waypoints attempt to spoil everything....
