    Deep Rock Galactic saw Left for dead 2, and wanted to make a perfect game better, and they did.

    Designed around re-playability and allowing new players to assimilate seamlessly, it excels at being fun for infinitely long playtimes with players new and old, with constant updates and no micro-transactions.

    The game is fun but it can become a bit repetitive after some time.
    The procedurally generated caves help a bit with that.
    I quite liked the class systems, and the amount of customization available you make your own build with various weapons and mods. The amount of cosmectis available for free is amazing and their battle pass is free, quick and seasons are long enough.

    The issues for me is that once the novelty wears off it become quite repetitive and sometimes missions takes a while. And once you found your build, what you like most, it does not help. You can always plays the others classes but for my part I was quite attached to the driller's abilities so playing say enginneer or gunner wasn't fun to me.    … Expand

    Awesome game, continued development and updates are astounding. This game utilizes procedural generation nicely, a lot of content in this game. Hardcore coop with your friends does not get much better, lots to grind for and can either be casual or challenging depending on your playstyle. A very genuine game no other game like this on the market.

    I love it, but if I had to offer a few criticisms, it would be these:
    1. Make emotes and colors universal to all classes once unlocked. Seriously, there's no reason not to given how rare those items are.
    2. Add more guns or variations on equipment within classes. Once you've unlocked all the guns, it kinda feels like you have nothing left to do with that class.

You unlock multiple weapons, perks, and upgrades to take on end game missions such as Hazard 5 levels or the weekly Elite Deep Dive. Look around for frivolous content that adds some extra comedy and spice to the game. Slapping the dice in the drop pod, beers at the Abyssal Bar, and who can forget the barrel game.

    There are so many things it does that other left 4 dead likes cannot match.
    Completely destructible randomly generated environments
    Cave systems that variate between vast caverns and oppressively claustrophobic tunnels
    Enemies that can accost you from all sides in a myriad of ways
    Extensive customization of weapons and dwarves both cosmetically and mechanically through overclocks.
    The atmosphere is fantastic every map you are immersed in the dark and intricate cave systems I previously mentioned cloaked in an oppressive darkness that you can only combat with the meagre beam of your flashlights or a limited amount of flares that recharge over time.
    Different classes that change up how you play but are not necessary. So many games require one of each class to complete content in team based games but in DRG classes are just a way to play and with enough skill you can dominate any mission type or deep dive with skill even if you are all scouts or drillers.
    Disclaimer: This is one of many games with what some call an "endgame" you will not have access to the best that this game has to offer until you promote at least one class (it does not take nearly as long as the term promote/"prestige" makes most gamers think)
    Once you have promoted a class you gain access to deep dives the pinnacle of challenge in the game and you gain the ability to find overclocks that drastically change how weapons work in fun and interesting ways.

    Two examples of overclocks I count as one and enjoy would be special compound for the scouts shotgun secondary and the rj250 compound for the engineers grenade launcher they both convert the weapons into basically rocket jumps sending you flying through the air with ease and grace,

    Another fantastic assortment of overclocks do things like make the minigun of the gunner do more damage but at the cost of not being able to move while firing or one that makes it belch a wave of flame as it gets closer to overheating, a driller overclock that makes the drillers plasma pistol into an aoe delete button if you can master the art of shooting its slower moving charge shot out of the air with its uncharged shot, a scout primary overclock that reduces damage on his starting assault rifle but replaces it with perfect pinpoint accuracy and a boost to weak point damage,

    So in conclusion if you have never tried this game and enjoy games with variety and a lot of customization pick this one up right away and make sure that you remember the game is good from the start but once you unlock overclocks, perks and deep dives is when the game becomes truly a one of a kind experience for the ages    … Expand

    Why are bugs not fixed for months?
    Why is flaming and bullying allowed on forums when it suits devs/mods personally?

    The game is great for multiplayer coop, had a lot of fun with it, but it too often disconnects you from host and if you’re playing with randoms there’s no way to reconnect, often that happens by the end of mission which means you lose from 10 to 40 minutes without gaining any progression.

    This game combines the best from what I remember about L4D1 & 2 and star ship troopers, it is a strictly co op PVE adventure. Danish humour and beers. so much good stuff and lovely devs working on making an awesome game.

    There are only two malefactors I could find, there is some visual bugs (nothing too extreme, sometimes they can be funny) and some repetitiveness. When i mention repetitiveness I talk about the missions, there could be some other objectives to complete and make it more diverse, but for now, this is the most fun I`ve had with a coop game in years.    … Expand

    Looking for a fun Co-op shooter? Look no further.
    This game offers what many AAA games fail to provide. A game with soul and character.
    Even after release the developers continue to add new content.
    I have never in my life played a Co-op shooter as fun and motivating as this one.

    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!

    The game features an incredible visual style which is dark but at the same colorful. I also loved the soundtrack which gave me Jean-Michel Jarre vibes. Deep Rock Galactic only occupies around 3 gigabytes of hard disk space and I think it’s an outstanding achievement for the developers.

    My experience with Deep Rock Galactic was with my favorite class “driller”. I was hooked until I promoted my dwarf and played through the “deep dives” and “breach the core” content. At that point the game started to feel a bit repetitive, but only after around 40 hours playtime.

    For anyone looking for a co-op multiplayer game, I wholeheartedly recommend Deep Rock Galactic. Whether you play with friends or join a random server, you will get your money’s worth.    … Expand

You play as a miner for the sketchy company called Deep Rock Galactic (seriously you have to PAY for your promotion isn't that sketchy?!) where you play multiple different missions encountering glyphids (and a lot of other hideous monsters for Hoxxes) who try to kill you. The guns are awesome, the feel like the hit hard, the reloads are satisfying and head-shotting an aliens face has never felt more punchy before. The main part of DRG is its best part: the dwarves you play as.
    The scout: The face of DRG (at least imo because he's always in the front of the menu screen, in the momorial hall there are 2 golden scout statues and some of the propaganda has him doing the Uncle Sam "I want you" pose), his grappling hook feels great to use, it sends you to any position within range at startling speed, but where are you gonna go if you can't see anything? Here comes the flare gun, the best weapon in the game because of one fact: you and your team can shoot whatever they see, be it an enemy or something else like minerals. His weapons are very basic, choosing between an assault rifle or a Garand like weapon and for secondaries he's got a sawed off shotgun and 2 submachine guns.
    I could go into the other classes, however no one would read of review this long so I'll let you find out what dwarves scratch that LFD + Minecraft itch.

    A great game taking inspiration from the best co-op shooter in the business - Left 4 Dead 2.
    It improves on said classic mainly via breadth of gameplay mechanics - the players now have objectives to complete other than simply going through a level, and Ammo and health have to be actively worked for instead of being given out at the whim of a director AI.

    On paper, the game should also have more replayability thanks to different character builds and character progression, random level generation and variety of mission types.
    The reason it doesn't succeed is how much less satisfying it is to finish any given level than in Valve's magum opus. Here are a few reasons:
    - Character progression makes difficulty fluid, taking away from the feeling of beating a set challenge
    - Missions are singular levels, which doesn't feel as substantial as a full L4D campaign. Instead of something that makes you feel accomplished and quit the game for the day, DRG's missions feel bite-sized.
    - The former issue is exacerbated by how boring the meta progression is after promoting each dwarf (you just grind for minor cosmetics and occasionally resources necessary for obtaining and crafting weapon mods, most of which are uninteresting)
    - Randomly generated levels simply can't be as interesting as hand-crafted ones. They don't have any pacing or distinct sections - just rooms that don't lead into one another in any intentional way like they would in a well designed, hand-crafted level.
    - Restarting levels takes ages, so you're heavily disincentivised to pick difficulties outside of your comfort zone

    That being said, it's in close second place to L4D for the title of the best co-op shooter.

    + 4 very distinct classes that synergise very well in co-op
    + Alternative weapons for each class that feel and perform significantly differently
    + Reasonably flexible class/weapon tuning system without excessive grind
    + Good gunplay
    + Great, pleasing aesthetic that doesn't really get old
    + Variety of mission types
    + Generally good netcode
    + Low skill floor

    - All issues previously mentioned
    - Bad solo experience. The game tries to adjust for having only one player by giving them a robot you can use in combat and to complete some tasks, but there are objectives a single player will have a disproportionally harder time completing even if they can hold their own in combat just fine. Even for those who prefer playing alone, co-op is a must for the game to be even close to as good as in multiplayer.
    - Performance could be better
    - Aim friction on impossible to turn off on controllers, reloading and interaction are both bound to a normal press of the X button, which causes a lot of issues
    - Mixed input (gamepad+mouse/keyboard) makes some buttons behave in unexpected ways
    - Steam can't crossplay with any other platform, whereas Xbox console players can join up with PC Xbox App/UWP players.    … Expand

You play as a dwarf – or more specifically, one of four classes of dwarf, digging your way through various missions while killing man-sized alien bugs with guns. While you are playing as dwarves, this is very much a “sci fi shooter” – not that there’s a lot of science fiction here, but the aesthetic is all a bit futuristic (though not tremendously so).

    Each of the classes has some mixture of guns specific to that class plus traversal or exploration or platforming abilities. Some can create platforms; others are faster at digging; still others are able to create zip-lines or shoot grappling hooks to get up to higher areas.

    All of them can launch flares, to light up the underground areas they’re exploring, as well as throw grenades.

    Sadly, while the game’s core is all okay, it’s never really great. The whole game feels just a little bit janky, with weird physics bugs sometimes slinging your character around long distances.

    But the main issue is repetition. The core of the game is going on a mission, completing some mission objectives, then running back to your pod to launch back into space. All of them have very similar structure, and while the particular objectives might differ, you are doing the same thing all the time, and fighting pretty much the same enemies.

    On top of this, this is one of those dreaded “FPS platformer” games, where you run into the problem where you can’t see your own feet, so it is easy to end up falling off of ledges while fighting, which can easily lead to your doom.

    The game’s lack of doing anything really excellent combined with the repetition made me quickly bore of it; I tried it for a few hours, but I never really had all that much fun.

    I cannot recommend this game enough. If you have game pass for PC or for Xbox, this should be a no-brainer, it's 2GB of your hard drive for days and days of excellent and well-tuned co-op fun, which is incredibly hard to come by these days in a world of 100+ GB minimums on the majority of games.

If you have game pass for PC or for Xbox, this should be a no-brainer, it's 2GB of your hard drive for days and days of excellent and well-tuned co-op fun, which is incredibly hard to come by these days in a world of 100+ GB minimums on the majority of games.

    For starters, this game loses a lot of it's shine in the solo mode, other players/friends are swapped out for a small drone that has a small list of commands mirroring typical functions of other players (i.e "go here to mine", "protect this drill", etc.) This idea works well on paper and a little less in practice. This mode is still incredibly fun, just not nearly as much so as coordinating attacks or working together to reach a higher Nitra vein in the stellar multiplayer. The solo mode not being as fun as the online is about the biggest gripe I have about this game.

    The progression in the game is suprisingly deep for such a straightforward game, there are multiple different progressions systems. Player rank, individual character rank, individual weapon modifications and cosmetics, visual customization items, if you expect to see it in 2020-2021, it's there. The weapon/gear modding system was the most impressive to me, with each weapon opening up a slot for a new mod/perk at different individual character levels. Most if not all of these mods have a major impact on gunplay, be it something as simple as an extended mag or an upgrade to ammo carrying capacity, or quicker weapon fire rate, and some cool ones such as reloading your weapon when unequipped for 5 seconds, which can be a major time saver in tense situations, the best part, it's none of those little percentage upgrades and "filler" skill points that give you a +0.12 damage buff.

    Also PERFORMANCE! If you play on base Xbox consoles, the visuals retain quality at the price of smoothness (at this point, that's kind of a standard for base Xbox One consoles), stays at a pretty consistent 30-45 frames per second. I have yet to play on Series X or the half-gen One X, but I'd imagine it keeps a solid 60 frames, and on my ROG Zephyrus G14, outfitted with an Nvidia RTX 2060 Max-Q, it keeps a silky smooth 1080p 120fps with almost no compromises.

    This game shines in a lot of ways, and each system is as reliant on other systems as a Scout is on his grapple. Highly recommend it, in either solo or multiplayer, but the best way to do it to get all your buddies on PC and Xbox to get game pass, and start running co-op like Left 4 Dead 2 came out last night.

    In the gaming industry today, the multiplayer looter genre is by no means niche. But even with all the money thrown into these projects, most end up being mediocre due to unrealistic scope. Deep Rock Galactic by Ghost Ship Games manages to break the mold by creating a memorable experience in atmosphere, gameplay and cooperation. There are some limitations throughout, namely when it comes to story and graphics, but I never found these to hurt the immersion. The gameplay is addictively deep, while procedural generation and extensive loot keep me coming back for more. If you and your friends are fans of the multiplayer looter genre, or just love dwarves and space mining, you need not look any further than Deep Rock Galactic for your next gaming adventure.
