    Finally, a non-traditional co-op multiplayer game with very intense atmosphere. Original, dark and bearded, it is Deep Rock Galactic. No need to dig deeper. [Issue#304]

    Deep Rock Galactic is a great mix of Minecraft and Starship Troopers with excellent gameplay and variety. However, graphics can occasionally be slightly off and exits for the drop pods will on rare occasion be inaccessible. This is an easy game to get started in and easy to get hooked on.

    Deep Rock Galactic is proof enough that keeping focus and executing on a single idea can lead to excellence. Ghost Ship Games debut title is cooperative bliss, and a must-play for all fans of the genre. For Rock and Stone!

    Although the game degenerates into quite a grind after the completion of the first series of missions, the procedurally generated worlds and the friendly community provide enough variety for long enough.

    A compelling cooperative experience mixing Left 4 Dead, Minecraft and Aliens franchises. [07/2020, p.56]

    Deep Rock Galactic is one of the best cooperative games of these times.

    Deep Rock Galactic offers some enticing exploration, as discovering randomly generated caves can be a thrill each time, and the unique abilities of each class are fun to combine. But things quickly begin to grow stale, like the air this far down into the earth, with repetitive missions and little reason to grind out your experience levels.

Tons of customization (dwarf cosmetics, weapon mods, weapon skins, perks, drone mods, etc.) that is all earned simply by exploring and playing the game.

    The atmosphere is somehow incredibly tense but relaxed at the same time. The gunplay is spectacular and doesn't get old.

    All of the maps are procedurally generated and the assorted map modifiers are randomly assigned ensuring you never play the same dungeon twice, giving DRG insane replayability.

    More content and fun than ANY $60 AAA game for half the price.

    Don't sleep on this!

The weapons are interesting, the gameplay is smooth, and the COMMUNITY is AWESOME.
    Playing a game like this with up to 4 players, having the community be so solid goes a long way. I think this thing got GotY in a few categories on Steam. I've been playing it for years and I still log in for the holiday cosmetics and to check out the FREE UPDATES the devs keep pumping out.

    I'll start out by saying that I don't enjoy playing FPS games, but I LOVE Deep Rock Galactic! I'm having so much fun with this, especially asI'll start out by saying that I don't enjoy playing FPS games, but I LOVE Deep Rock Galactic! I'm having so much fun with this, especially as a duo party with my husband. You can play solo, but co-op is absolutely front and center. Even at low levels you're still useful to the team and I'm finding it very easy to get accustomed to the controls and gameplay loop. That being said, the gameplay doesn't feel stale, even after playing 60 hours in my first week. I foresee myself dumping a lot of time into this game, lol

    I really appreciate that there's no big meta-game, pvp, or any sort of pay-to-win junk here, just pure fun, seriously. The playerbase seems really friendly as does the dev team! For $30 this game is packed with content and just feels so lovingly made. Also want to point out that the sound design and soundtrack is FANTASTIC. I find myself listening to it regularly. The in-game emotes are really great, too, and help build the sense of camaraderie!

    ROCK. AND. STOOOONE!!!

    I have been playing this game a long time before release. The devs are fantastic! What you dream about when you think of the kind of peopleI have been playing this game a long time before release. The devs are fantastic! What you dream about when you think of the kind of people you want updating your game.

    Constant meaningful updates to a game that is already fun, smooth and constantly giving you a reason to dive back in. Always easy to find a group of people and even if you don't use a mic...no big deal. The game makes it so easy to work as a unit with people you don't even know.

    What a great game!

    Оцениваю эту игру на 9 по одной причинес оптимизация она более менее хорошая но не наилучшая. Игра большенству понравиться, игру это какая-тоОцениваю эту игру на 9 по одной причинес оптимизация она более менее хорошая но не наилучшая. Игра большенству понравиться, игру это какая-то смесь майнкраыта и Left 4dead, и это хорошо, она чем то в себя затягивает, заставляет в нее все возвращаться и возвращаться, те же самые классы, каждый имеет свое снаряжение, способности и баффы. Как по мне одна из лучших кооп игр. Рекомендую всем Expand

    I suspect there is a good game somewhere in here, but there is way too much mediocre grindy nonsense to get much of a view of the better gameI suspect there is a good game somewhere in here, but there is way too much mediocre grindy nonsense to get much of a view of the better game that could have been. It's also worth noting that there is no single-player option - you've got to rope a few friends in for this very not-fun ride. Expand
