A lot of things suddenly made sense when I learned their prior work was Magicka.

Yeah the "Crash to Desktop" comedy spell wasn't added to the game for no good reason.

I do credit their sense of humor about it though.

I never played Magicka, but the reviews seem fine (76% GameRankings, 74/100 Metacritic, 8/10 EuroGamer, etc.)

Was it a bad game? Or jankey? What parts of Helldivers are "making sense" now?

Is that a negative? All of the "negative" things listed make me think that they are really cool and trying to learn stuff and challenge things.

Oh my, I loved that game! It's wild everyone's throwing shade at Helldivers whilst ignoring that it was an massive success because of how fun it is. I've said it before, Dev's are really bad at understanding the art of making Fun experiences.
