I love this game but cannot wholeheartedly recommend it in its currently unplayable state.

Deep Rock Galactic fills a notable void in which many co-op games fail to. It's hard to articulate exactly what that void is. It's the perfect candidate that always alludes your library when you and a buddy compare mutual steam games to see what you both feel like playing tonight.

Many co-op games are too simplistic, some are too dependant on progression and others are too competitive to be a good co-op game. Deep Rock Galactic demands little from you to play, but rewards you greatly for staying. Sessions can range from 18-40 minutes and provide a mix of arcadey to high-precision fps shooter mechanics depending on which play style suits you. It is truly perfect as a chill-out game for friends to play while they chat that scales perfectly depending on how seriously or how relaxed you want the session to be. Someone who's been grinding levels doesn't unbalance the gameplay for a complete newbie despite the rather in-depth progression system. The incredible procedurally generated levels feel hand-crafted, and their verticality and generated objectives provide ample opportunity for communication and team coordination.

If you and your friends with varied-game-tastes are looking for that illusive gemstone in your steam libraries, the planets have aligned to bring you Deep Rock Galactic

The premiere game of VR. This is the golden egg everyone with a VR headset has been waiting for... And it delivers. The production value is through the roof; HL2 and its episodes will look archaic in comparison after playing Alyx. The game is truly beautiful - every enemy, object and environment is filled to the brim with detail. It's also shocking to comprehend the scale of things in the Half Life universe you didn't imagine previously now you're able to see them in VR. Headcrabs are the size of dogs, armored Combine soldiers are multitudes more threatening and the Citadel is impossibly colossal.

A must-buy if you own a headset. And if you don't... Maybe you'll want to get one after the implications this game sets for Half Life going forward...

Other reviews have covered the bread-and-butter of this game well - It's a great Rouge-like and the gameplay loop is addictive and highly rewarding. Having only played it in an early state Undermine is absolutely worth it for fun game that'll nicely soak up a few dozen hours. What remains to be seen is if the devs can develop the end-game to take Undermine from a game you can play for 10's of hours to one that you can consistently enjoy, and be challenged by, for 100's of hours. Currently, once you save up to get some perma-upgrades the game becomes too easy as it throws relics and powerups at you a bit too much. Eventually, most your runs will result in you being overwhelmingly powerful. If the Devs at Thorium can crack that egg Undermine can certainly go down as one of those fabled indie must-haves.

Regardless, buying Undermine as of right now is still a solid decision.

Unequivocally one of the greatest PC games of all time. If you even have a faint interest in real time strategy, space or Sci-Fi you are actively doing yourself a disservice not buying FTL. Don't let the unique top-down UI off-put you; this is a game unlike any other and the new persepctive will become like second nature almost immediately. Few pieces of entertainment can provide as much value as FTL does, especially at this price.

If you played the first Shadow Warrior and you liked it. Run. Do not look back. This game isn't remotely similar to the first and I am honestly shocked how abysmal it turned out. This game objectively fails everywhere the first game succeeded.

The great, linear level design has been scrapped for something in favor of a meaninglessly open, obnoxiously large headache. Levels no longer 'flow' but are just filled to the brim with mindlessly placed monsters. Carefully crafted groups of enemies consisting of different tiers of enemy have been replaced by a group of dumb, extremely tanky bullet sponges. The tactical and thought-out approaches are now just challenges of endurance to see how long you can dodge and shoot - melee is a shell of its past incarnation and no longer worth doing.

The story is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ mindnumbing and uninteresting. I don't care what's happening despite being forced to engage in it. There's now far, far too many weapons, random upgrades that feel pointless and acts as filler to bulk up the 'things' to do. There is now the implimentation of a hub world system which I don't want to engage with - I just want to get to the action instead of navigating yet another set of vendors and quest givers.

It's absolutely shocking how the team who crafted the first game - an absolutely brilliant up-and-coming FPS - managed to ♥♥♥♥ up literally every aspect of it. I will be refunding this.

2.2 / 10 - Don't buy this game. Don't even bother to install it if you get it for free. A crying shame.

The attention to detail in this game is immense. Few games manage to make a deep interaction system that 'makes sense'. For example: if you get injured and need to apply bandages there are numerous ways to source those bandages that make sense in real life. You could straight-up find one from a medical store or you could rip some clothing to make a make-shift one yourself. There are countless instances like that you'll come across which will make you appreciate the effort the devs went to. I'm enjoying the game itself a lot as well as it really stays true the idea of being a realisitc zombie survival game, making itself really stand-out in this oversatursated genre.

I've been playing co-op with a friend and the setup was very straight forward using the in-game UI to make a server and invite friends. Although I need to mention inviting friends through the Steam UI doesn't work which will hopefully be fixed at some point.

EDIT: After playing the game through I must unforunately change my review to a unreccomended. While everything I wrote previously is true the game is far too unfinished for me to reccomend it as a full and worthwhile game. Simply put - there is no mid-to-late gameplay. Progression unceremonsouly stops after a certain point with nothing more to do. This would be okay-ish if there was a satisfying gameplay loop at this point in the game but there simply isn't one. Early game is fantastic, but there's nothing past that. Very disappointing for a game that has spent over 4-5 years in early access.

Feels like a blend of Banjo-Kazooie and Super Mario Sunshine with a touch of Rayman 3. If you like platformers at all you definitely need to get this amazing game.

I love this game but sadly it no longer works as described at the time of writing. It does not let me join multiplayer matches and will throw up one of several errors or do nothing after pausing for a few moments. This was after the so called revival by GOG galaxy. I've refunded this game simply due to this one problem.

This is certainly an interesting venture into virtual tourism, however, I no longer feel comfortable to use the app after I turned around in the German castle to see someone watching me from a point higher up in the ruins. This was very out-of-place and extremely unsettling especially in VR. The only point before this you interact with a person is the tutorial guide at the start who is an abstracted VR avatar, otherwise you are led to believe you are exploring the scene alone. I wouldn't have been disturbed if the scene started and you could see other 'tourists' looking around, but you're alone for quite some time before you see the strange man who is placed in a threatening vantage point, and is semi-hidden. In VR, you're trying to quickly trying to process in your head why he's there and it's extremely uncomfortable. It's horror-genre like. Please don't do anything like that again.
