7.3/10
Goblin Company
Goblin Company is BitBorne’s co-op mining survival debut — dig tunnels, lay chaotic rail networks, fight the dark and the creatures, chase the Giant Crystal for WHAAG MINING INC. Solo or online co-op, Deep Rock–adjacent but sillier and cheaper. Best with friends who like janky physics comedy; wait if you need polished DRG-level systems day one.
