Lethal Company Review

running through an abandoned planets in the dark with nothing but a hazmat suit on your back and three of your closest buds at your side.  Welcome to Lethal Company, a co-op survival horror game that’s all about digging deep into the (procedurally generated) crevasses for loot, which your party of up to four companions (Unless it’s modded of course) will need to figure out how to safely transport back to your ship and eventually sell to your tentacle overlord at the end of each round.

This is a simple but highly enjoyable premise. there’s enough chaos to sink an entire weekend into its depths without realizing you’ve done so. But, even with such a riveting loop and plenty of monsters to make it satisfyingly treacherous, Lethal Company does still feel like the work-in-progress.

Each successful run through these abandoned lunar tunnels lets everyone in your squad invest in better gear. Inventory space is rather limited – you’re given only four slots in total, and they’re quickly strained. Gear is difficult to recover if something goes wrong deep inside of a dungeon, where your teammates won’t easily be able to recover your body.

Everything in your inventory weighs you down, making it appropriately tough to get away if you’re carrying a heavy load of loot. Even after being blasted to bits by a hidden turret or getting chomped on by one of the many horrors awaiting in the corridors. My favorite moments even took place from the comfort of the death cam – for instance, when one of my teammates tried to haul a big piece of scrap, screaming from the top of their lungs in sheer terror while something chased them across the map.

For every run, you’re only given three in-game days to find enough scrap to reach your profit quota. So, you’re racing against the clock. Once it strikes 5:30 PM, the entire landscape becomes a living threat. Luckily, each in-game day is reasonably long, around 10 minutes or so.

Mostly when I play was modded. heavily modded might I add. So there were extra monsters or “scarier” replacement monsters.

Thank you for reading I appreciate and value all of you. I hope you enjoyed seeing some new releases. Let me know in the comments if I should continue to do game reviews on here.
