Major Order - Liberate The Steam Page
"If you're reading this, go change your negative reviews," , garnering over 4,000 upvotes. "We won! Go change your review if you haven't already."
A few fans even left instructions - go to your profile, open the 'Reviews' tab, find your Helldivers 2 score, click 'Not Recommended' to open it and then press 'Delete' on the right-hand side. Alternatively, you can edit the review and flip the recommendation. Some fans suggest doing this but also striking out the original review (like this) so that the backlash isn't completely erased.
The community is also calling on people who didn't partake in the initial review bombing to leave new positive scores to help bring the overall rating up. A few, who have been upvoted en masse, have already admitted to doing this; "I generally don't leave reviews, so I didn't take part in the 500kg review bomb, but I've made certain to take part in the recovery effort," Draykoss commented.
It probably won't shoot back up to the glowingly positive score it had before the weekend, but Helldivers 2 looks to be on the mend. Of course, not everyone wants to retract their negative reviews, and many more will likely forget, so time will tell if it can come close.
Helldivers 2 is the sequel to the third-person shooter from Arrowhead Game Studios. This time out, the Helldivers are deep in the Galactic War, and it's up to you to bring Managed Democracy to the masses.
