I feel inclined to leave a review and it saddens me to leave this as a negative after so many hours dedicated to DRG. DRG is an amazing game especially with friends. This game does pretty much everything right.
- It's extremely fun and even more enjoyable with friends.
- I never felt myself getting bored especially after getting all the overclocks and despite the biomes being repetitive.
- Being able to muck around in the lobby whilst waiting for people to join is a cornerstone of the DRG experience and the game wouldn't be the same without it.
However, I'm leaving a negative review because the developers who I once held in high esteem have turned out to be very disappointing, and this started with Season 6. From memory as I have not played very often recently, Season 6 was a very long wait, as far as I know this was because Rogue Core development was the main focus. This was annoying but I understood nonetheless. Season 6 came and it was just... well there's not much to say about it. We waited all that time for one new mission type and a new biome that introduced two boring and mildy irritating enemies, particularly the scrabs, which are total ammo dumps and don't seem to leave you alone for the entirery of the mission no matter how many you kill; and worse, zero new weapon overclocks.
What cemented my distaste was after all this time, after all this waiting, Rogue Core like its predecessor Survivor, turned out to be a complete flop that died almost immediately. All the time spent neglecting DRG was for nothing, and whilst I understand and accept that DRG is a complete game and we are not entitled to expect new content; it still left a sour taste in my mouth.
As far as 'content' goes, the only things ever added now are new cosmetic packs and lets be honest, with the exception of a select few like Rival Tech, most of them are not that great anyway, at least in my opinion. On top of this, the only news I see concerning DRG outside of seasonal cosmetics (that aren't that great either), is yet another announcement for overpriced merch, the hilariously overpriced beer mugs that were released in the past come to mind immediately.
Overall I think that GSG has lost the plot with DRG, and I've begun to question whether this was a one hit wonder, and I am very disappointed that perhaps some new DRG content was sacrificed for years(?) for two games that amounted to nothing. Despite this please don't let this discourage you from buying the game, it truly is amazing, I just cannot fathom how GSG has dropped the ball so easily.
