The value story

The value story

71 discounts in the 9 years on record, a median of 67 percent off across all of them, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 3 days ago.

Against its own genre its score lands in the top 1 percent. It is pricier than 97 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. Among the games closest to it, Starship Troopers: Extermination ($29.99, scores 41) and PULSAR: Lost Colony ($19.99, scores 75) both come in lower.

More about Deep Rock Galactic

The press gave it 85; the people who bought it give it 97 percent. A 12-point gap in the buyer's favour.

Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 16 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2026 to October 2026. That is fewer refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 798 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 733 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 81 percent of the 6,563 reviews written there were positive, against 97 percent overall, and those are 2 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 43.1 hours as a typical playtime, and completionists log 480, 11 times as much.

381,578 people have reviewed it, which is a big enough crowd to settle the number.

What players say

Dwarves, beer, monsters and a lot of fighting, what more could you ask for ? An absolute banger and still going strong after all these years, over 6 years of completely free updates, no paid content locked behind DLCs, only cosmetics if you want to support the devs And that's exactly why I love this studio, they deserve all the support they can get, I'm even planning to buy their board game which looks absolutely...

I've been in love with DRG ever since I joined during the Launch of Season 5. It's heavily inspired by Minecraft, Left 4 Dead and TF2, all while having its own, instantly recognizable characters, aesthetic and humour, which makes this a dream game for me that I'm kind of kicking myself for not trying sooner. All of the Classes, their tools as well as their weapons, work together in perfect harmony; add the laser...

Lightning in a bottle game, sometimes I think its own devs didn't really understand what made it so good. I bought this on sale years ago and felt like I scammed the devs. Just get it, especially if you have some guys to play with.
