Liz and Aaron strap in for some bug-blastin' action with Helldivers 2! Sure, you shoot bugs, destroy automatons, and spread managed democracy, but is it a good cooperative game? Does it past the COFI test? SPOILER: If you listen to this episode you will find out! PLUS: Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor isn't a co-op game but we're enthralled with it anyway!
