Out of all of the games that started off in early access, Deep Rock Galactic is one of the few that has come out the other side and gone far beyond what was initially promised, with the latest Season 2 Rival Escalation update bringing much more content and variety to the game. With Deep Rock Galactic leaving early access back in 2020 and releasing updates on a consistent basis since, the game has gained a significant following with over 125,000 positive reviews on Steam and a player base that revels in the game's cheeky dwarven culture of rock and stone. With multiple different classes, dozens of weapons, a changeable setlist of maps and events, and a seemingly endless supply of character cosmetics, along with a Deep Rock Galactic board game Kickstarter funded in 18 minutes, this dwarven adventure has become an indie darling, with Season 2 expanding on everything that makes the core game great.
Deep Rock Galactic started off as a grab-and-go mining game where a group of players are dropped into a map with an objective and must make their way through caves of a mysterious alien underground to acquire and extract with rare materials. Years later and dozens of updates down the road, Deep Rock Galactic has solidified itself within the genre and has integrated community support along the way to add player-requested features and benefits for players with season pass rewards. Beyond including extra resources through the season pass, the update surrounding Season 2 also provides many new enemies, events, and weapons to expand the dwarven arsenal, all of which are coming completely free like Deep Rock Galactic Season 1.
