Dunno how many other DRG lovers there are here, but their latest season is now live! I'm looking forward to playing it over the weekend and probably fail completely at Jetty Boots.
I have a few questions I'm hoping you fine folks can help me with. How complex is Deep Rock Galactic for a newbie? Is it stressful or anxiety inducing? Do you need voice communication? Is it okay to play with strangers? Is it any good for someone who enjoys Overwatch as a shooter?
At higher levels of difficulty with difficult mission modifiers, or in elite deep dives (the weekly, difficult, set of special missions) I've definitely felt stressed - but the good type of stressed?
It's never been a salt or rage inducing game for me - certainly if you've handled Overwatch at it's most frustrating you'll be absolutely fine.
I tend to mostly play with friends and in voice chat, but the game has a context sensitive ping and good visibility on where teammates are. It's definitely doable without. Just spam the V key and you'll be fine.
I'd compare it more to other horde shooters like left 4 dead, payday and killing floor in gameplay - but I think going from Overwatch to this wouldn't be too much of a system shock. Character classes excell in particular areas in a similar way to Overwatch.
The single player is very playable too - if you're looking to try it out before jumping in with people. You get a little robot friend to assist with the general teamwork things you'd normally get in a squad!
