Helldivers 2 was a fantastic surprise that elevated the bug-blasting genre to new heights. I loved Arrowhead’s top-down original, but its escalation into a full-scale 3D shooter absolutely blew me away, keeping everything that made the first special. With that said, what I’ve seen of Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War makes a similarly strong first impression. Its more stylized, retro boomer-shooter aesthetics feel like I’ve been teleported to a world where Helldivers 2 came out in the late ’90s, but at a level of scale and spectacle that would have been impossible at the time.
