Early Access Review
Deep Rock Galactic :

A pure Drug dose everytime you play !

Story :

You're a dwarve that got enrolled to mine ressources on a planet. Well, there isn't a huge background yet, but still.

Gameplay :
This is a FPS. There are 4 different classes and 2 type of weapons (Heavy (Machine gun, shotgun, ...) and Pistols) per classes. Also, there are others tools (lights, zipline, and some other cool stuff).
There are different missions types which have different objectives (collect specific ressource, repair Mules and minimules, Collect Aliens Eggs [?]).
Even if this is not an open world based game, the huge procedurely generated map gives you a good taste of diversity in term of gameplay. There are different map types that offers different experience. Each of them feature specific environnement, but not specific "bugs", even though thoses bugs have a reskin for every type of map.
By type of map, you can understand biome (Radioactive, lava, etc).
Oh yeah, you spent your life underground, and you have to kill as many bugs as you can see if you want to survive. Just forget to mention, but I mean, the "teaser" video is quite obvious on that.
Other then that, there is an upgrade system for weapons and tools, a perk system and a milestone system (which teamwork with the perk system).
All of them are well balanced.

Graphic :
Simplified, but fit extremely well with the game theme and environnement.
It's proper to it's kind, I've never seen the same mood in any game.
Oh, and I love ragdolls, and if you do so, well, literally every living thing have a death ragdoll ;D
Exept your teammate, since, well, there are not supose to die ?


Optimisation :
Well, In term of requirements, just see there own recomendations, but in terms of coop, It's... random.
Since there are no dedicated servers, it lag when the host doesn't have a proper connection BUT,
There is a good lag compensation : you might see your friends laggin, but not the bugs. {Personal Experience}
