    Deep Rock Galactic is a co-op masterpiece. No matter the aspect, you can feel the thought and care that has gone into its creation.

    Deep Rock Galactic on Xbox One is a game with obvious appeal. It is punchy, funny and a blast with friends. The environments and mission structures do become a bit repetitive but the moment to moment gameplay is fantastic. If you are looking for a “blow off steam” game to play with friends, Deep Rock Galactic has you covered.

The main reason why it surprised me is because it hardly suffers with any problems already and for me it’s the best game that has entered the preview program so far. The gameplay is awesome and when you have a group of friends it’s an incredible amount of fun. Everything about the gameplay feels fast and fluid and there is a decent set of mechanics in play at the same time. When these mechanics combine together you see the game in all its glory and it’s pretty good to say the least. The content that is avaliable so far is very good and will keep you satisfied for quite a while, but it does definitely need more in the coming months to stop it from going stale. It won’t go stale quickly though because the game is already blessed with quite a bit of variety. The variety is mainly found in the classes and weapons you can use and playing as each different class was very fun and at the same time very addictive as well. The customisation could do with a bit more especially on the load-outs, but to be honest this is only a minor problem and I’m sure they will add more as we move forward. The controls which are very important in a game of this ilk are pretty much flawless. Everything feels great and the guns definitely pack a punch and most important of all they’ve made the controls feel tight and responsive throughout, which is great. Technically the game holds up really and despite a few issues every now and then for the most part things run smoothly which is way more than you can ask from a game that is in its very early stages in the preview program. The presentation side of the game tickled my fancy right from the get go. Visually the game looks beautiful and it feels alive at all times. The sound design also makes the game come alive and it keeps things ticking along nicely. At the end of the day I can’t wait to see Deep Rock Galactic grow in the preview program and without a doubt it’s going to get bigger and better which is going to be awesome considering it’s already very good now. If you’ve never paid for a game that’s in the preview program yet then I fully recommend you make this game your first purchase because its clear that the developers have been listening to the gamers and I can see this game being relevant for quite a while.… Full Review »

That being said, I had an enjoyable time with this game and return to it from time to time when I want 30 minutes to an hour of simple fun. Grab your pickax, drop to a planet or asteroid, find minerals, kill bugs, build pumps, protect them, return to base, use what you found to upgrade your stuff and do it again. There is still a lot I haven't unlocked and there is more depth to the game than I at first realized. Progression seems a little slow. Many things seem to unlock when you get one of your dwarves to level 20 and after probably 15 hours of play, I'm at a level 8. Overall, I've had a lot of fun with this game and will likely continue to return to it from time to time over the coming months.… Full Review »
