      It’s one of the great things about Deep Rock Galactic, in so many ways there’s very little story other than deep lore, and the Dwarves aren’t saving the world, they’re getting drunk and doing their dayjobs.

      Hoxxes IV doesn’t need saving, it needs mining.

      I didn’t really have any kind of urgency based on the story, but I do think the story fell short of being a good story.

      Spoiler warning: Satisfactory endgame and story

      They built up so much with the aliens talking to the pioneer and Ada acting as a translator, then towards the end it just stops happening. Then you build a ship and the story is done. Most anticlimactic ending for such a huge game
