R.E.P.O., a darkly humorous cooperative horror game, is making waves on Steam. Released in Early Access on February 26th, the game tasks players with retrieving valuable items from monster-infested locations. Developers anticipate an Early Access period of six to twelve months.
This meme-rich, cooperative horror experience is shattering Steam records and attracting overwhelmingly positive feedback. Boasting over 6,000 reviews, a remarkable 97% are positive.
Players highlight the game's unique blend of humor and engaging gameplay, particularly praising the creative use of its advanced physics engine, especially in object transportation. Many compare it favorably to the popular Lethal Company, suggesting R.E.P.O. represents a compelling evolution of similar concepts, rather than a mere imitation.
R.E.P.O.'s player base is also experiencing explosive growth. Daily record-breaking concurrent player counts have been observed since launch, culminating in a peak of 61,791 yesterday. Interestingly, Monday's player numbers even surpassed the weekend's, underscoring the game's viral success.
