First leaks about PS Plus in January 2022 claim that a really good co-op title is coming to PS Plus. MeinMMO introduces you to the game and explains what makes it so good.
Here’s what it’s about: If you subscribe to PS Plus on PlayStation, you get 3 free games as a bonus every month. Meanwhile, PS Plus for January 2022 is supposed to have been leaked. And the selection looks not only really worthwhile but also promises to deliver a really good co-op title.
If the leak is true, you can look forward to one of the best co-op titles of recent years. MeinMMO explains what “Deep Rock Galactic” is all about,
As a space dwarf, you diligently collect resources for your base
What kind of game is this? Deep Rock Galactic is a co-op title that belongs to the best indie titles of 2020. It is a co-op shooter for up to 4 players, but the game can also be played with AI companions.
Alone or together, you dig your way through cave systems as a space dwarf searching for valuable resources. The caves are also randomly generated each time, so you must explore a new environment with every expedition. As a heavily drinking dwarf, you battle aliens and other creatures that want to prevent you from mining the resources in first-person perspective.
To do this, you need to choose the appropriate class with which you venture into the cave system:
- With the Gunner, you focus entirely on firepower and eliminate your enemies
- With the Navigator, you are the scout of the group and have various tools at hand.
- With the Driller, you are the miner and can eat through walls to access valuable resources.
- As an Engineer, you are a kind of supporter. You can set up various defensive positions like turrets to cover your teammates.
The game fully emphasizes the co-op aspect. While you can also play the game with AI, in co-op you can coordinate exactly who uses which class, for example. And “Deep Rock Galactic” is among the currently best co-op games you can play.
“The best co-op game on the market”
How is the game rated? There is also a lot of praise for the game otherwise. For example, the news magazine IGN writes in its review (via IGN.com): “Deep Rock Galactic is the best type of co-op game for four players. Exciting battles, great missions, and many upgrades make this game a winner.”
The game is very well received and gets a lot of praise. The cave systems look amazing and are completely destructible, and the game encourages exploration and collecting. The abilities of the dwarves synergize well, and the co-op mode is highly motivating. Added to this is a touch of rough (dwarf) humor and plenty of options to adjust the difficulty to your needs.
On Metacritic, the game receives an average rating of 85 out of 100 points (via metacritic.com).
How is the game received by users? And there is also a lot of praise in the community:
- User 40_Onyx??? writes on Steam: “I’ll keep it short. The best co-op game on the market. And the best community. I don’t feel like I need friends to play 4-player co-op. Even without voice chat, communication in the game provides enough coordination to play as a team even on the hardest difficulty, which is rare.”
- User D(e)adman writes on Steam: “If you enjoy wild shooting in a team and interconnected abilities of the individual classes, you’ve come to the right place. Awesome game!”
- User taKen also writes on Steam: “For people who enjoy PvE shooters, it’s probably one of the best games out there. A game that is worth its price without question and constantly updated to a newer state. For once, a game with a very friendly and pleasant community.”
