9 months agoI’m an Apple user, for the most part, and I’ve noticed lately that in the last 6-12 months Google Maps has deteriorated significantly for me while Apple Maps has gotten better and better. Even things you’d think would be similar, e.g. satellite imagery, for my area Google’s imagery is now a half-decade out of date while Apple’s is current.
It really does feel like most of Google’s consumer-facing products are languishing.
Don’t buy games for what you’ll hope they are, but there was just enough systems in this one that it finally got me to jump in and try out the Survivor genre. I like the inclusion of secondary objectives, the tension between mining for upgrade materials versus the strengthening bug hordes, and the ability to mine through walls to create choke points or escape routes.
For what it is now, feel like it was $10 well spent and I’ll get plenty of hours of game out of it. The road map looks interesting, and if there’s enough community support I could see them adding and tweaking the game for a long while. It’s good fun and plays well on the Steam Deck too. Not to mention that, while it is just the theme on top of it all, I do enjoy another take on the Deep Rock Galactic experience.
