I mean. I know they're all shooter games, but other than that they're really distinct from each other.

That's because Deep rock is awesome

Unity 😃

Ur right...

xera-fox.bsky.social•218 days ago

that's... a really good question, honestly, because I like all 3
I think something they have in common is a small-ish selection of enemies that give you lots of options for taking carr of them

animusaureus.bsky.social•218 days ago

I'd say because they all share some large core elements
Speed, knowing your kit better than the back of your hand, planning but also on the fly reaction gameplay, and shooting down hordes of enemies all the time, lucky to get a break at times.

The chunky graphics wrapped around awesome gameplay.

I regret not getting into Deep Rock Galactic sooner because it's stupid fun. The chunky graphics are just part of its charm.

Same for Risk Of Rain 2. I haven't tried Ultrakill, but maybe I should.

realplatinumgod.bsky.social•218 days ago

Ultrakill is rlly rlly fun, I 100% recommend it!!

professionalweirdo.bsky.social•220 days ago

I’ve never played Risk of Rain but you absolutely need to try DRG it’s so much fun. Rock and Stone.

realplatinumgod.bsky.social•220 days ago

Rock and Stone....

vilfire.bsky.social•218 days ago

ROCK AND STONE LIKE THERE'S NO TOMORROW

aaaa-buuk.bsky.social•220 days ago

I am addicted to Ultrakill and DRG, i think its just cuz theyre amazing games lol, there might be a connection but idrk lol

viperraid.bsky.social•219 days ago

Ultrakill scratches a lot of the same itches that ROR does for me. Amazing music, beautiful and unique art style, gameplay that borderlines on overwhelming; very importantly, SEXY ROBOTS!
As well as both taking place in a world where everything is fresh and new to you.

viperraid.bsky.social•219 days ago

I could list the specific crosses with Deeprock Galactic too but I don’t personally own the game and I’m sure you get the idea.

hydroistired.bsky.social•218 days ago

Silly neurodivergent characters with fast paced, addictive gameplay and beautiful graphics

1nked.bsky.social•218 days ago

Shooting stuff in different ways is fun.

alcoholicdwarf.bsky.social•219 days ago

I think it's because they're all really unique indie games which are really fun to play and master, with wonderful ost, charming characters and an actually rather nice fandom

That's my only explanation tbh

kal050.bsky.social•220 days ago

i havent played deep rock galactic but my friends have and i think i should try it

galacticyurb.bsky.social•218 days ago

Do it, it’s so fun

realplatinumgod.bsky.social•220 days ago

My friends also have it, and I bought it on steam a few weeks ago!

timekillingtime.bsky.social•220 days ago

I love games where you are 4 people who die either for glory or 5 dollars

twgtrd.bsky.social•218 days ago

ther videogames are the good and people like playing them generally, i think

velocivoid.bsky.social•219 days ago

I first got into ror2 from a youtuber who played it, then he switched to mostly ultrakill so that’s how I ended up getting into both. it is a curiously common phenomenon tho

ninesouls.bsky.social•220 days ago

i have deep rock galactic in my steam library but i don't even play it, only a few times with a friend

realplatinumgod.bsky.social•220 days ago

I also have the game in my library, got it a few weeks ago. I wanna play it because I've heard so many good things about it, but I've been too addicted to Risk of Rain 2 lately lmao.

ninesouls.bsky.social•220 days ago

i was interested in buying risk of rain 2 but then i saw a bunch of people saying the new DLC is broken and bad, did they fix it?

realplatinumgod.bsky.social•220 days ago

If you ARE gonna get the game, get the base game and the first dlc.

unnormalparanormal.bsky.social•218 days ago

I had DRG in my library for 6 months before I installed it, and I was already 2-3 years behind when I got it.

I deeply regret not getting on it sooner. It's so good, if you're into that kind of game.

realplatinumgod.bsky.social•220 days ago

They fixed most of the egregious bugs and glitches, so the game is mostly back to its previous state. However, I would NOT recommend the newest dlc (Seekers of the Storm). Most of the content that's in it is not as polished or well thought-out as the first dlc (Survivors of the Void).

ninesouls.bsky.social•220 days ago

ok then, thank you!! will get it in the next steam sale :)

unfairverona.bsky.social•219 days ago

Because indie games are enjoyable and we have a mutual respect for each other (I play all three)

trscott.bsky.social•219 days ago

I just think they're neat.

hardin.me•219 days ago

Deep Rock Galactic and Risk of Rain are both chill and engaging co-op experiences.

thecipher01.bsky.social•220 days ago

Rock and Stone! On a serious note I think they all just kinda itch that part of the brain ya know? DRG is one of my all time favorite games so if you haven't tried it i cannot recommend it enough

realplatinumgod.bsky.social•220 days ago

I bought the game a few weeks ago, I'll give eit a try!!

lolonji.bsky.social•218 days ago

I've not played Ultrakill/Deep Rock, but I've seen plenty of gameplay of them. From what I can see as someone who plays RoR/RoR2 the two games have overlap with resource use being tied in with skill-based gameplay. I think part of it is how it has varying level design too.

kronorous.bsky.social•218 days ago

They’re fun. At least DRG is. I haven’t played Ultrakill yet, but DRG and RoR have the same “I’m trying to shoot stuff and have fun doing it” while also being co op to do with friends. Makes for a good time.

scohui.newgrounds.com•216 days ago

well my gf also like deep rock so that has been a big plus but it is simply fun to kill a horde like it was for l4d2 but better

I never related it to me liking ror2 or ultrakill though... beyond being also shooters

fopdoodle5857.bsky.social•218 days ago

they're peak...

unnaturalandroid.bsky.social•218 days ago

I think it's similar indie games? Risk of Rain 2 was (not sure if it should still be considered one?) and Ultrakill and DRG are both similar in shooting aspect and indie games

koter.bsky.social•218 days ago

I mean how can you not like throwing coins and then ricocheting bullets off of said coins? In my ideal universe Bandit would be able to do the very same
