Indie games can offer some of the most unique and entertaining gaming experiences around, and none showcase this better than Deep Rock Galactic, a game that melds dangerous mining and brutal combat with procedurally generated environments and...dwarves. What more do I need to say? Last month, in September, we reported on the first major post-launch update for Deep Rock Galactic, Update 32: Roughnecks at Work. After the update was delayed by several weeks, Roughnecks at Work is officially live, and we get a new trailer to go along with it.
Roughnecks at Work is a rather large update for Deep Rock Galactic, and includes two all-new game modes with the On-Site Refining Mission having players build massive mining systems, and the Escort Duty mission tasking players with protecting a huge Drilldozer and keeping it safe. There are also a ton of quality-of-life changes, more cosmetic items, and new DLC available for purchase as well.
If you haven't given Deep Rock Galactic a try yet, it's definitely a gem, and is available for Xbox consoles and Windows PC's.
