Helldivers 2 players believe game freed them from BR ‘brainrot,’ toxic gaming addictions

To some players, Helldivers 2 isn’t just a great game, or even their favorite game, but a game that’s genuinely freed them from the bad habits and mental anguish sometimes associated with grinding battle royale titles.

In a post shared on the one million subscriber Helldivers subreddit, one user wrote that the game and its “amazing community has changed the place gaming has in my life for the better.” This user says their partner even took notice that they are actually having fun playing games, instead of “cussing and complaining all night” after playing primarily battle royale titles for the past four years.
