More about Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor

Players rate it 86 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 75 percent. Something recent has soured the room. 11 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2026 to October 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 67 percent of the 2,747 reviews written there were positive, against 86 percent overall, and those are 6 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (cosmetic, finite spend); the score docks it lightly for that.

HowLongToBeat players log 22.6 hours as a typical playtime, and completionists log 159, 7.0 times as much.

It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating, which is the one that means it just works.

What players say

I purchased this game after seeing it sold as a bundle with soul stone survivors, which I had enjoyed. From the trailer, the premise looked the same as every other horde survivor: there's a horde of mobs chasing you, you collect exp to level up and pick new upgrades, and at certain levels you get to pick a new weapon. For me there were 2 unique aspects to this game, in terms of character building 1. gear can be...

I really want to like this game, but it is doing everything it can to dissuade me from doing that. Playing it is just not fun - there's a huge amount of elements that are just annoying to deal with. Small enemies will nibble at you for 10% of your health everytime they touch you. You always feel weak compared to the overall difficulty, so you're constantly running away from enemies.

Great game, but needs some balancing. Stats like armor, potency and damage don't make a difference as you progress. Even with an armor stat of 130, I was taking around 100 damage from smaller enemies during a hazard 5 dive.
