Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core is a good roguelite shooter, but a little less special than the game that spawned it

The Reclaimers in Deep Rock Galactic represent the highest level of expertise, focusing on skills beyond basic mining tasks. Despite their elite status, they engage in mining activities while battling monsters in the spin-off Rogue Core. The game emphasizes exploration and teamwork over simple enemy elimination, with each dwarf class offering unique utilities. Deep Rock Galactic has established itself as a co-op FPS that prioritizes strategic gameplay, contrasting with Rogue Core, which is seen as repetitive and lacking the dynamic excitement of other roguelikes. The gameplay in Deep Rock Galactic centers on succinct missions and defined roles, with survival being more important than destruction. Rogue Core, in its early access, does not match the clarity and purpose of its predecessor.

Lego racing game 2K Drive will be delisted next week, but online multiplayer won’t shut down until next year

Forza Horizon 6 has been released, while Lego 2K Drive will be removed from the digital marketplace on May 19, three years after its launch. Players who own or purchase the game before this date will retain access to its multiplayer features until May 31 of the following year, after which online functions will cease. Lego 2K Drive has received mixed reviews, with a critic rating it at 59%, citing "greedy microtransactions" as a downside. The game features a kart creator based on real-life Lego specifications but has faced scrutiny for its digital currency bundle aimed at children. Other games, including Disney titles and Star Trek: Resurgence, have also been removed from digital storefronts, with potential licensing issues suggested as a reason for Lego 2K Drive's withdrawal.
