    Deep Rock Galactic mixes incredible FPS action, addictive exploration, and endlessly entertaining gallows humour that combine to create one of the most compelling co-op experiences available in video games. Beautiful environments powered by incredible procedural generation will have me teaming up with friends to return to the hostile subterranean world of Hoxxes IV again, and again, and again.

    Co-operating with the many active players is a breeze, and the allure of the ore hard to resist. This is a constantly surprising, well- oiled, endless delight. [Issue#11, p.90]

    While the Playstation version of Deep Rock Galactic has a few downsides here and there, overall, the game is a blast to play with your friends. The procedurally-generated environments, endless variations on missions, and the customization will provide hours upon hours of fun and challenges.

    If you're looking for your next co-op addiction, Deep Rock Galactic could well be it. Brilliantly balanced character classes and engaging, emergent missions make for highly enjoyable underground antics, particularly with pals. Some networking issues and perhaps overly complex design decisions could frustrate, but it's a game worth sticking with for the moments where it all comes together. With replay value through the roof and satisfying gameplay at its core, this is one rock solid game to dig into.

Once they gave it with Plus on PS I played it again here and it's really enjoyable on a controller too. Using Scout's grappling hook is a bit harder as I can't quickly switch to it to do crazy acrobatics like on the PC but that's doesn't make the game less fun. The team has done amazing work on this game. It's just way too fun.

    Disclaimer I've never played it solo.

Dive deep into mines to harvest materials and cosmetic items. 4 diverse classes that have their own strengths/weakness. The game does kinda force you down a path of playing as only 1 class until you get that class to level 25, which takes almost 30 hours to get to in my experience. The hub area offers a surprisingly large amount of fun to be had while you wait for freinds to log on or get back to. From zero gravity effects, a barrel kicking minigame and a variety of beers that can be crafted and purchased that offer various in game or cosmetic effects, such as blacking you out and sending you back to the med bay, shrinking you, freezing you, and so forth. These effects pair will with the jukebox and dancefloor. I wish there more options for which song you pick and which dance your dwarf did. The leveling is pretty grindy and I did run out of assignments to do around lvl 25. Expand

    Beat game I’ve played in a long time. A breath of fresh air from all the horrible games and developers out there. DRGs devs care and it’s clear

    Game has so much depth that even after 60 hours i'm not even close to discovering everything.
    After Ghost Ship Games fixes some bugs and better optimise the game it will be a perfect co-op experience.

    This is easily the Best PS5 given Free on PS+. I would have happily paid full price, especially for a physical copy. The game content isThis is easily the Best PS5 given Free on PS+. I would have happily paid full price, especially for a physical copy. The game content is extensive, massive, endless. There's always an upgrade or cosmetic for your character or weapons you're working towards. There are skin packs to buy, but are totally unnecessary. There's so much to unlock just by playing. Solo is fun and gives you a flying robot companion that's very helpful, but co-op is where it's at. Super addictive. Tons of varying environment, tons of mission types. My brother and I jump on each day since launch and usually play at least 6 straight hours before noticing. I absolutely love this game. I really can't find flaws. 4 classes all very cool and useful in their own ways with different weapons and traversal techniques to get around. Gameplay is simply a blast. Running to the dropship before it leaves at the end is fun as can be, blasting creatures trying to stop you, using ziplines and grappling hooks, etc. Just download it free and play. Never will you regret it. If this came to PS5 last year it would EASILY be my game of the year. Expand

    This game basically consists of picking a dwarf class (there being 4 with very different skills and weapons) and exploring mines, apparentlyThis game basically consists of picking a dwarf class (there being 4 with very different skills and weapons) and exploring mines, apparently randomly generated, to complete some objectives depending on the mission type. Since its a game based on repetition of some cyclical objectives, it is pretty boring in single player. Despite there being objectives and unlocks for you to focus on, when you're playing alone you just go around doing the same missions all over again in very lonely mines, without any grander goal.

    Where the game really shines though is with multiplayer. If you can form a party with at least 2 other friends and each one picks a different class it can get pretty interesting. One class can create floors, while another class has a grappling hook to reach those platforms, meanwhile a third class can quickly dig through the floor while someone else guides them while looking over the map. Devs did a great job making a game where you're not just playing alone with other people around, you're really working together. Even the HUB area has some pretty fun stuff to do and you'll find yourself laughing out loud with your friends.

    The game also has nice ways to give you a guideline so youre not just playing random missions, with cosmetics in a season pass, different weapons and even different game types hidden behind specific tasklists, meaning that you always have something to look forward and actual feel youre progressing through the game. As I said before this isnt enough to keep you going in single player, the fun is in unlocking the different content so you can explore the game with your friends.
