   Mixed feelings

   We used their DC proxies and Residential proxies. Resi proxies were having quite low success rate. We had to use resi solution from other proxy providers. Unblocker didn't work well either also it was way too expensive.

   🏁 Competitors: Decodo, NetNut.io

   👍 Pros:    Cheap dc proxies

   👎 Cons:    Quite expensive|Residential proxies are worse than competitiors

• Looking for simple basebuilding game with Pve. (Xbox and pc)

  Grounded might also fit but it's got a bit more complexity than Drake Hollow with regards to the variety in mechanics, biomes, and enemies. Very fun and thematic though, especially in coop. Also available on Xbox or PC with full controller support. Source: over 3 years ago
