I've been tempted by Deep Rock Galactic for a while but never pulled the trigger because none of my friends are likely to join me. Would people still recommend it? What would you need to pick up DLC wise?
DRG is an amazing game, most dlc is free or cosmetic I believe. The community is one of the best, I've had less than a handful of toxic interactions in the years I've played it.
I spent most of my 200+ hours in DRG so far playing with randoms because my friends aren’t as into it as I am. I can definitely say random matchmaking works great, and the community is amazing barring a few leaf lovers here and there.
Also the DLC is all cosmetic, so no need to buy any if you don’t want.
solo DRG is totally viable! you get a cute little companion drone that will guard you (very lightly), and you can order it to go grab stuff that is out of reach. the dev team is the absolute ideal role model for how game devs should strive to act. they continue to push free new content, and nothing is locked behind a paywall
