What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
You Know The Drill is an incremental mining adventure developed by ludokai and published by Catoptric Games that takes a familiar concept and refines it into an engaging progression-focused experience.
Progression felt smooth in the campaign mode with the special upgrades requiring a gem of some sort instead of the usual ore you see which you can toggle on each stage if you want to primarily farm those.
Fun and chill Incremental with the usual pluses being satisfying sounds and visuals along with a solid skill tree that feels good to explore and unlock.
The game isn't particularity complex and is not difficult in the slightest, but the graphics and effects are extremely well done, the soundtrack is amazing, and the gameplay was fun.
