This new "R.E.P.O" game is taking the lead over leathal company.

125k+ players to only 10k+ players online seems like a sheer amount. What would we do? Is this new game the superior LC?

You know the concept of novelty? I have no knowledge about repo, but those "125k+" players will significantly drop in a few weeks for sure

no ofc not, its just the exact same hype train attention lethal got on release and will grow old as quickly as it came, exact same thing happned with content warning

a game thats so dedicated on trying to copy the sucess lethal once had wont understand what kept a presistent community and will fade away in no time

if the game was focused around going around looting scavanging resources for stuff like ammo to survive against the monsters (making shooting your way through impossible)

then yea a game like that could compete against lethal compnay but thats not what these games are gonna do and the lack of balance and cartoonish gimmic design will be its downfall

it appeals to young audiences that jump from game to game and will fail soon enough for that exact same reason (unless their entire goal was just to make a cash grab)

the one thing that keeps this game alive is that it genuinly has good gameplay and world building that can appeal to about anyone while offering a gimmic no other game had and no replica can compete because they have no real purpose or direction outside of cloning the success

TL:DR no a copy cat game isnt just simply going to overtake the original game without taking a good appealing spin on the game which these copy cat games wont do because they are to focused on mimicing what caused the games success over making a genuine good game

The games are nothing alike. I think it's just the fact that the developers just managed to create a pleasing horror game. So a lot of horror game fans that were playing this game could've switch over to find something else to be terrified by.
