    I have so much fun playing this game it’s insane really. I didn’t expect this at all. I picked it up at a free weekend on steam, thinking it’s just another fps shooter but WOW. that’s something completely new and creative in a super good way. There are perks and many new things you can do with your weapon. It has great humor also.

    As a 38 year old with ADHD, my 800+ hours of playtime on Steam says that this game is worth playing. Best community, best devs. Just play it. More than enough people explain why it's worth it.

    Esta bien. Un Coop bastante entretenido, lastima que el leveleo de personajes es tardadisimo y que aveces se torna algo repetitivo pero sacando eso esta muy bueno

    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. But even if    The game is fun but it can become a bit repetitive after some time.

    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

    In recent years left 4 dead like games have become their own genre and I unabashedly claim that Deep Rock Galactic is the indisputable pinnacle of that genre.

    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

    The best co-op game I’ve played, but dear god, light sources being so limited is not fun at all. Do yourself a favor and turn up the gamma, it’ll save you some eyestrain and prevent you from getting lost as often.

    Pretty good but after a while you dont't have any content but for it's price it's really good.

    And with some friends it's alot of fun sabotaging eachother or just playing the missions normally. Also there are lots of little details and funny stuff you can do in the Main ship it's really fun.

DRG does a good job getting beginners started without ruining some of the new moments that make each of your first dives ominous. The game still has plenty to offer as a veteran. 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. No dwarf left behind. Rock and stone!… Expand

    Banging OST
    Fun gameplay loop
    Attentive devs
    Unique and beautiful visuals
    Friendly and open community

    Levelling can be a little slow but it makes ascending higher that much more satisfying. I don't have any negative things to say. Mostly just wish there was even more to do in the hub area.

    Deep Rock Galactic is masterpiece. No maps will feel similar, as all maps are randomly generated and can never look alike. With it's interactive gameplay, satisfying progression system and laughable voicelines, Deep Rock Galactic can always provide a enjoyable experience.

    If you don’t Rock and Stone you ain’t coming home!

    Deep Rock Galactic is a game unlike any game I’ve played. It takes elements of Minecraft, Doom, and co-op shooters like Left 4 Dead, and rolls it all into one chaotic mess. I love it.

    The scout is a trap. When I booted up deep rock for the first time I gravitated toward the most female sounding character. This was scout but as it turns out they are a trap. Until the devs add a female dwarf I am refusing to play the game. Need women

    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.

    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.

    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.
