Deep Rock Galactic Review | 5"11 Edition™ 

Art Director at Ghost Ship here. Seeing our game reviewed by Sseth simultaneously combines one of my greatest fears and my deepest darkest desires. What a time to be alive.

13:29 Returning Dorettas head is the ultimate litmus test to determine whether someone is a leaflover. It's easy, gives no reward and we all agree it is the correct thing to do. Doretta digs holes and kills bugs just like a dwarf and we *Leave no dwarf behind!*

My absolute favorite thing about this game is that it barely takes up 3 GB of space. This game is so small that you have no reason to ever delete it, and yet it is so large at the same time. I'm convinced that the devs sold their souls to the devil.

Props to Sseth for teaching proper Deep Rock Galactic etiquette, with no double dipping and always saluting and such.

The devs of Deep Rock are amazing. One time me and my friend had a weird bug not allowing us to connect, citing an error so niche, that it yielded no results in steam forums or google search. When I filed a support ticket I got a response like 20 minutes after from an actual human (not an automated bot message) saying that it should be fixed by 5 PM. And it was.

Important part about the Seasons and Battle Pass: they’re completely free. I’ve had to tell too many friends that scoff at the Season terminal, “Wait! The battle pass is free!” since no other developers do that. Don’t have the time or missed a season? Don’t worry. Any new cosmetics go into the pool of equipment you can find during missions. So you’ll find them eventually.

Once you find a single mushroom, the objective quickly changes into annoying the mission control.

The merchant's guild approves Seth's new upload schedule

You know a community is truly beautiful when Sseth actually tries to help make the games more civil instead of trying to get people to spam hentai mods and abuse cheese strats.

Drg players exhibit more honor than some of today's soldiers it's actually fucking insane. You could be playing with some complete stranger on the other side of the world, language barrier and all, and if you get knocked while on the way to the drop pod, he'll trudge through hell and goo just to get you back on your feet. It's a universal bond stemming entirely from some game and I just can't fathom how it even formed. Rock and stone

Got DRG for 10 bucks last week after watching this vid; the positivity from the community is well-deserved. Brilliant humor, very immersive setting, truly honest and caring developers and plenty to do. The influx of new players is more of a mixed bag than the vets are, but 3-4% assholes and only ~30% non-communicating players are damn good ratios in gaming - here in medieval Europe anyway. Get diggin'.

Few things are ever as hype as a Sseth video. Two videos from him in less than a week? Now that... That scares me.

As a 5'4" Dwarf Lord, it softens my granite heart to see Seth join his manlet brothers in our oldest and noblest profession

Thank you Sseth, for indirectly helping me pass my medical exams. I’ve watched your content throughout my breaks and have done so enough times that I’ve created a Tulpa of you who helped regurgitate info to me and read me my study notes in a way that acted like I had the sharingan. Thank you very much, though the unintentional schizophrenia is a bit rough

I love the voicelines in this game, they go "mining is hard work, good thing we're dwarves"

I feel this community can be summarized by the tradition of carrying doretta’s head to the drop zone. It’s dangerous, makes things more difficult and you get no reward. Yet we do it anyways, for respect, for rock and stone.

I love how all his new videos have one point where he breaks character for half a second to laugh at one of his own jokes. always cracks me up

Another thing to add, all the Free, season pass cosmetics are never vaulted, they're just moved to lost packs and cargo crates, that you can find in missions. Seen that sweet weapon skin from season one, you can find it for yourself if you play enough.

Say what you want about a driller, but when it's time to leave and your only options are to try and navigate back through miles of twisting tunnels or guard us while we make a direct path, I know which one you'll take. Rock and stone!

Thank you for going over miner etiquette, Sseth. We may be blue collar workers that drink ourselves stupid and revel in how much we endanger ourselves, but its no excuse to not ROCK AND STONE!

I swear with each video Sseth is getting closer and closer to sounding like an actual coherent language and not just the ramblings of a madman

As a wise man once said : "Only when a mosquito lands on your testicles will you realize violence isn't always the answer".

2 hours in and I am hooked. DRG is one of those games that's a light in the darkness for gaming in this day and age.

I love how at the "I love Miners" joke Sseth realized that not even a man as powerful as him can make that joke.

Jesus two uploads this close together? The merchant guild provides it would seem

A good thing to note is that machine events still give you XP bonuses even if you dont have a blank core to infuse.

This video got me to try out the game, and not only did I find a very fun game with an enjoyable core loop, but also a friendly and welcoming community that seems to always be ready to help out a newcomer.

My life is finally complete. I've been playing DRG for almost two years now. I have over 200 hours in it, and it's pretty much the reason I have one of my closest friends right now. As a proud Lord of the Depths, DRG sends it's greatest regards to you and the Merchant's Guild. Also as a Scout main, I can assure that even I hate Scouts. EDIT: Me screaming at Activision-Blizzard execs after the Overwatch 2 PVE cancelation: "A bunch of dwarves made one of the best games of the decade in a cave WITH A PILE OF SCRAPS!"

I have waited so long for you to review this! FYI: Not only is the season (battle) pass 100% free, but any rewards from missed seasons are simply added to the in-game vendor or become findable in missions. Even in-game holidays dish out the previous year(s) cosmetics alongside new offerings for the current. In short: It will NEVER be too late to start playing and you are NEVER punished for taking a break.

1:29 why on the "classes" image are some knife-eared impostors instead of true bearded ale-loving dwarves. This unbelivable insult to our company goes to the management and to the book this instant.

You always have the most interesting games to talk about and that transition to your sponsors is just amazing never saw it coming

A HEARTFELT ROCK AND STONE TO THE MERCHANTS GUILD

Sseth's last video didn't have him on the thumbnail, and I was worried that he was losing his grasp on his identity, but I'm glad that he proved me wrong by having four different versions of himself on this one.

I think I have watched this video over 10 times now and everytime I find a new joke or reference that I missed. This is truly why Sseth is the content I truly need in my life

Mister Toast doing a good job with them videos. I've discovered him a few months before he started editing your videos and found his humour and editing tasteful, wouldn't have guessed he'd work for you though. That's great news.

*ROCK AND STONE!* Man, Deep Rock Galactic deserved all the recognition and boost of fame as of late. Streamers played it, even the virtual ones, and now Sseth has touched the game as well THIS GAME IS ULTRA #BLESSED

DRG singlehandedly gives me hope for the future of gaming

Someone in a lobby I was in recommended this video, and by god am I glad they did. This is hilarious man. Nice work, and ROCK AND STONE!

Shitting out pure liquid with a hangover at 7:28AM, this video is my only anchor to reality in this ordeal so I thank you Seth.

The cool wind felt good against his bare chest. "I HATE DIGGERS" he thought. The Last Ascent reverberated his entire zipline, making it pulsate even as the $9 beer circulated through his powerful thick veins and washed away his (merited) fear of glyphids after dark.

Another so soon and for a game that’s even more based than the last one. Daddy Sseth really is nourishing us with the high class content

Love is in the air? Wrong. Mactera grabber

Best preview for a game I've ever seen. Funny, witty, informative. Thank you.

Its a very different vibe when Sseth covers a game you actually know. Most of the time I like being on the outside of the game's in-jokes. But sometimes its nice to see a meme coming before it hits.

I always appreciate being informed so much ahead of time that a video is releasing.

Deep Rock Galactic is incredibly difficult to recommend to anyone because it doesn't really do anything new. It's simply HOW it does it that makes it feel incredibly right. It just has soul.

"Sorry, that wasn't me, that was the Gold Play Button." 💯

If drg suddenly gets a spike in player count we all know who to blame. Not that it's a bad thing, ROCK AND STONE!

One of the first times I've seen a game being covered by Sseth that I was really familiar with before hand. This game truly is good.

The children yearn for the mines

This is literally one the most entertaining reviews I have ever seen ! 👏

The first time I walked into the Memorial Hall, something came over me. Without knowing it I was immersing myself in the world of these Dwarves. Their spaceship is a glorified Oil Rig full of heavily armed Alcoholics and run by bureaucratic pencil pushers, yet they made space to commemorate all those who were unfortunate, who didn't make it out. I realized then and there that this game allows me to be something special, to explore a level of comradery that I would normally not get with random strangers. And I vowed to Leave No Dwarf Behind.

For anyone struggling with the OMEN fight, here's a tip to make it much easier: the buttons have a high hitbox for what is considered to be standing on them, this is to allow you to jump over the purple wave lasers, but if an engineer places platforms at dwarf-head height above the OMEN buttons, it means everyone can safely just stand on them without worrying about the purple lasers at all, and it still counts as standing on the buttons beneath to reveal the bosses weak spots

His videos and jokes get better and better with every new video. I love it.

Just recently got DRG and am having heaps of fun thanks for the vid. Rock And Stone Brother

This and Minecraft are why we shouldn't have removed children from the mines, for you may remove the child from the mine, but not the mine from the child. The kids yearn the earthy darkness!

There are also DLC skins, but unlike other games the community won’t make fun of you for using mommies credit card to buy them, because they realize the money is going to help cool developers who’ve made a cool game. Also the skins look pretty dope.

13:24 “Sentient Rock” *Stellaris Flashbacks* Destroy it, cast it into the fire!

"And I love miners" Sseth letting out his inner Sundowner right there

Feels really good to be on the list of the fallen dwarves. The closed Beta was really something and its amazing how far DRG has gotten. ROCK AND STONE!

Seth doing DRG is something that feels like it could shatter the boundaries of time and space

Following your video about homies and hard times, this is the perfect game to revive the bro in us all. Thanks for introducing us to this game, bud.

So cool to see more such reviewes :D

To anyone unfamiliar with DRG, the seasonal content and updates are all free! Instead there are optional, cosmetic only supporter packs that are released separately.

I like to imagine Karl was originally the CEO of the "Company" of DRG, but he was a forerunner that fought along side the dwarves as a miner, and sacrificed his life for his fellow dwarves who work for the company during a particularly horrific dive. I like this idea, because it explains the loyalty the dwarves have to the "company" despite the clearly stressed relationship of "Mission Control" and the dwarves. Karl was their original boss, and he died for them, fully believing in the company. I also like to imagine the "no dwarves left behind" thing wasn't made by the company itself, but rather the dwarves after being forced to leave Karl behind against their will.... Perhaps, maybe, the whole dive was sabotaged by the leaf lovers, which is why the dwarves hate them so much. Basically Karl was like if Batman fought crime as Bruce Wayne himself, and was like the complete reverse of "Kingpin" in that an empire was built for the sake of others. Plus it explains the apathetic and annoyed nature of Mission Control at the on-duty dwarves, perhaps they loved Karl too, and blame the dwarven miners. IDK.

When I heard the egg being mined at 6:40 while watching on my secondary monitor I automatically stared at the main monitor and thought "fuck here comes a wave" I'm not even playing DRG right now

one of my fav. games! Stoked to see Sseth review it! Looks like he's played it a fair bit too which is grand. Also...280 hours and still no fat boi overclock

KEY DETAIL ABOUT THE SEASONS The battlepass in the game is free with no paid option. More importantly, anything you don't get in the Season Pass when it ends gets added into the usual lootpools, so there's NO FOMO.

12:38 That subtle Rocket Jump Waltz inclusion is why we love Sseth

This game looks like if Lava Land was fleshed out into an entire coop game. The VR mod looks neat.

This game inspired me to buy Deep Rock Galactic. Good job, Sseth.

DRG is going to keep getting bigger and bigger. I hope the dev team can deliver. Also I secretly hope for more lore after people realize that after a certain point you're playing only for the gameplay loop and skins.

When the ad segment rolled in it actually took me a second to register that it was a paid promotion and not just a long joke Also, I was definitely not expecting the hunt showdown clip, I can only imagine what a Sseth review for that game would be like And much respect for the Rocket Jump Waltz inclusion

The first two seconds of background footage. Bless you.

The dwarves yearn for the mines.

I absolutely ADORE how chill the community is. Everyone's there to have a good, wholesome time. And if you're not? You're getting the C4, leaf-lover slurs, and a kick. But Fail to stay alive on the lowest difficulty? ROCK AND STONE! Dropped all the objective minerals down a hole? ROCK AND STONE!! Accidentally kill the entire team? ROCK. AND. STONE!!!

As a seasoned DRG player I am absolutely ecstatic that you talked about on how to be a good mannered player and that the humor of this video is incredibly accurate to the game and its community! ROCK&STONE/10

You have tickled my brain with the Hunt clip, you better deliver now.

rock and stone Sseth, you made me buy yet another game that I never even considered touching till you posted this

I humbly thank the merchants guild for sseth's new uploading schedule

The "I love mine(0)rs" followed with mayo landing on Golden Play Button has a fair bit of symbolism, I think. 5:57

This might be the first time I've seen you break character...and it was for a miners pun. Never change, Sseth, never change.

about time... the fact you only did this video now, absolute slacker and help you god

The thing Sseth didn't explicitly say about the Seasons is that they're 100% free, with no paid content at all (aside from extremely optional cosmetic DLC to support the company) and that all in-season content gets added to regular loot pools after the season ends so no FOMO. Additionally, the way the game is set up the new cosmetics don't dilute the pool of gameplay-altering upgrades; Machine Events will always offer you two Weapon Overclocks and one Cosmetic (until you clean out a dwarf's weapon pool), plus the Deep Dives and Weekly Core Hunt always gives a Blank Core, a Weapon Core and a Cosmetic Core. It's A++ game design.

As a 5'7 geo major, I can confirm that every field geology course is populated with stout bearded men digging holes, staring at rocks, and complaining that the sun is too bright. edit: we may or may not be sober while handling the sensitive mapping equipment

I've been waiting for the inevitable day that you'd cover DRG. Seemed right up your alley.

“We don’t have guard rails, we have grind rails.” That actually sounds super fun.

I just love when Sseth's inner Mandalore shows up and does the electric shock 2:34

In my first online game of DRG I didn't know how to ROCK AND STONE and the two guys I was playing with were so confused that I wouldn't say it back. I just want to give a heartfelt apology to those brave heroes, if you're reading this just know that I have punished myself appropriately.

this is absolute gold. especially the part about the scout and the cave leech in the beginning

Was not expecting to see Fire Department Chronicles in a Sseth video

I played DRG when it was in early early access and still had placeholder models for guns. The gunner still had satchel charges. And I told my friend, you know this feels like a more finished game than vermintide 2

Man, it's crazy to think there's a good chance I played a mission with this guy at some point and didn't even know about it. But that's one of the cool things about the DRG community-- pretty much everyone gets along and almost nobody has a big head. It's one of those games where you can queue up with randoms and, most of the time, have a good time.

Danish conscripts from British Company invades a planet with Australian wildlife.

1:29 driller makin me feel a type a way

God bless the fellow dwarfs of DRG. Never had a negative player in my games. Leaf no dwarf behind!

Watching Sseth include Hunt clips in a video warms my heart.

This is the only channel i dont skip the ads on

i know thats a joke at the end of this video regarding roof shingling but i think setting up underground outpost or reclaiming them (why not both?) especially if they unlock customizable hubs would be a pretty banger season idea. the lore excuse if reclaiming is management wants to reactivate outpost that were set up in the days back when drg first discovered the planet before the bugs became active. if setting up then its simply cause management wants to see if its possible to set up a base down there also to give mission survivors a place to regroup if their still alive somehow.
