[2022] Wow, this game has just the right amount of ridiculousness to not feel shoved in

Original Post — Direct link

I don't know whose idea it was to have space dwarves shout about rocks and stones, and Karl (I wanna meet him) but I wanna congratulate them. Me and my friends played 1 mission and immediately decided this was I our rotation of games. The co op experience seems unmatched. Plus the art style reminds me of TF2 or Dishonored.

But the community AND the devs loving the game? It's one thing when it's the community loving the game, but the devs hating it or vice versa, but it's a treat to see a game generally loved by the people around it. This is really apparent when you see the Deep Rock Galactic shanty used in the trailer for the PS launch. I'm only 6 hours in, and have not felt bored once.

ROCK AND STONE BROTHERS!

Glad you like it!

I’ve been running the dev stream twice a week pretty much since we added the Deep Dives, and it doesn’t get old. Sure, streaming is exhausting, but the game remains fun (granted, interacting with the community is part of it too). I don’t think it would have been possible without the theme or the procedurally generated caves, but it’s never boring. I’ve unlocked all the overclocks legit during the streams and occassional solo play, and I am still having fun. Doing the same without the banter, the RNG, the sometimes wonky stuff happening in eg. a story driven single player game would have rotted my brain.

You're a beast, Jacob. Really hoping to join one of the streams this year (and get immediately trounced).

Which items will be removed from store? Which unforged Matrix Cores will vanish?

Exactly a year ago today, a user printed and framed my Mission Control fan art and it was such an honor to me that I put it in my calendar. Made me smile, thought I'd share :)

The first Season 5 teaser is here!
