The Deep Rock Galactic game continued in the early access stage on Steam for two years and during this period it received good reviews from users on steem and the final version was released on May 13th on the steem platform and Xbox
ABOUT THE GAME :
The Deep Rock Galactic game is a first-person shooter that offers an individual or cooperative playing experience from a team of four for two players. The team carries out various missions whose main goal is to explore for minerals or collect various resources from inside caves on another planet and during these missions the team is exposed to Successive waves of monsters inside these caves and the team must eliminate these objects and obtain the required materials.
PLAY STYLE :
The game does not differ much from other shooting games, as the game offers four classes of characters (Dwarves), each character has special skills and weapons that help the team to finish the task required of it.
The Driller character has a great ability to break rocks larger and faster and has weapons that cause great damage to monsters. The Scout character can move at high speed and has a hook that allows him to move to high places or hard-to-reach places
The engineer’s character has strong equipment and can deal with large numbers of monsters. He can build rocks that are used to climb to high places and also plant mines. The Gunner character can burn monsters with bombs and has large quantities of pot. He also provides shields for his team members and has a rope that helps to climb to high places or And the rest of the team can use this rope.
Also, all characters have some other tools to help in the exploration process, such as light bulbs, which are thrown into dark caves, and these lamps are generated continuously because they do not stay lit for a long time.
THE WAY OF PLAYING
At the beginning of the game, an educational mission will start to explain the style of play and the method of collecting various materials. After completing this mission, you will be transferred to the headquarters (spaceship) from which you can start new missions or modify the player's character and upgrade skills or buy some clothes for the characters.
After assembling your team and before starting the task, it is preferable to choose a different character from the rest of the team members in order to integrate the team’s skills together because each character has some features that facilitate the process of finding and collecting materials, for example if the engineer’s character is in your team, he will help the team to access the materials In high places, because he can build some rocks on the wall as a ladder, and he can climb or go down through them.
When the mission starts, you will be transported to a cave on a planet and your team will be required to collect some minerals or other materials.These caves are completely destructible in the sense that you can break walls or floors and you may feel yourself in an endless maze at times, so your team must cooperate to find out the places Hidden minerals inside the cave and during the search process, an attack of objects on this planet will occur in the form of successive waves, and the team must confront these objects.
One of the things that I did not like the most was that if a team member died, he could not return to life unless one of the team members brought him back to life, so the player could not return to life again after a certain time had passed, as happens in other games, and at one time the team could not reach me. Because I was far from them, I left the game and started a new mission as well. If all the team members died, the mission would fail and you would have to repeat the mission again from the beginning. This method could have been used if a high difficulty level was chosen and not on all difficulties.
After collecting the required materials, you will have 5 minutes to go to the departure site, and at the same time the creatures will attack you in greater ways, here you will find yourself facing a great challenge to get out of the cave without the death of one of the team members or the failure of the mission and after each mission the player gets points that he can use in Adding improvements to the character as well as upgrading the player level after each mission unlocks more additions.
GRAPHICS :
The game offers normal graphics quality that serves the nature of the game, as it is not excellent or weak graphics, but it is good according to the nature of the game and the game offers some beautiful effects during confrontations and killing monsters, as well as the design of the characters is acceptable.

The presence of voice or written chat between team members
Introducing a group of characters with different abilities
NEGATIVES :
Difficulty finding players online while starting missions
There is no return to life inside the missions except with one member of the team

Start the mission again in case all team members die and there are no points to save progress
