You ever look at video game food and immediately start salivating because it looks so delicious? Yeah, me neither.

The most fascinating thing about Helldivers 2’s ongoing story is how effectively its momentum and beats are used to not just make the player base feel immersed in an ongoing, evolving conflict, but to mobilize them in specific directions.
