------------------- Video games 2020-05-11 ------------------- I have been a gamer all my life. The last years I played tons of Path of Exile, CSGO, Killing Floor and so on. Then this march the Diabotical [1] closed beta happened, and it filled a void in competitive games for me. The old Quake formula in a new coat, with tons of things that make it better. Duel I particularly enjoyed, trying to improve my gameplay every match. The pure skill reliant gameplay was just so fun. Then closed beta ended and open beta is nowhere in sight. This has left me in a pretty bad mood regarding games. Nothing I played could spark the same joy I experienced with DBT. I was pretty bummed out to be honest. Every game I tried to play just felt like a chore, not being fun at all. On a whim, I tried Deep Rock Galactic [2]. Played some coop with a friend. And holy, it's a great game. Fun from the first minute with a great atmosphere. It has weapon unlocks and cosmetics and all that stuff, but it's not limiting you like so many other games do. Unlocking stuff is actually really neat and it's fun instead of a drag. I can see myself playing lots more. Until DBT goes live again. Then most of my gaming time will be dedicated to dueling again, I'm pretty sure. ------------------- [1] https://www.diabotical.com/ [2] https://store.steampowered.com/app/548430/Deep_Rock_Galactic/
