Lethal Company is hands down one of the most unexpectedly fun co-op games I’ve played. It masterfully blends horror, humor, and teamwork in a way that keeps you constantly on edge—but also laughing out loud with your friends.

The gameplay loop is simple but super engaging: go out, scavenge scrap, and make it back to the ship without dying horribly. But the tension is real. The sound design and atmosphere are perfectly eerie, and every new facility feels like a fresh challenge. The monsters? Genuinely creepy, yet there’s still this absurd charm to everything that makes dying a weirdly fun experience.

What really makes the game shine is the multiplayer. Communication and coordination are key, but there’s always room for chaos—and that chaos leads to some of the funniest in-game moments I’ve ever had. Whether you're yelling at someone to get back to the ship or watching a teammate get yeeted by an elevator, it never gets old.

For an indie title, this game delivers way more than expected. Constant updates, solid community support, and a gameplay loop that keeps you coming back. If you enjoy games like Phasmophobia, GTFO, or Barotrauma, Lethal Company is a must-play.

Highly recommend grabbing a group of friends and jumping in. Just... don’t forget to close the ship door.

As of v69, the type of content that permeates the game feels great to play with. Great enemy roster and a great scrap collection so far, this game shows big promise. But there are many things I believe this game misses out on.

My nitpicks revolve around the ineffectivesness stamina possesses, and the lack of configurability in the game. For some reason stamina is that of an old person, and could be a lot more dynamic when interacting with different weights. This can make for interesting gameplay, not to mention the possibility of altering gravity on different moons. For example, it would be great if you can run as fast carrying 10 kg as if you were with 0 kg, but just not as long to balance it out. Stamina regeneration could be much quicker, but I'm alright with the current velocity (when carrying nothing). Additionally, stamina sprint duration is extremely short. Also, no crosshair in the game? Hopefully will be added in the future.

Many things I wish were configurable in vanilla: staminaHUD, shotgunHUD (display ammunition), usage of spraypaint (change size of brush) including HUD, weight displayed in kg or lb, lockpicker/key usages, the dropship (e.g. deploying more than 12 items at a time), hotbar tweaks (scroll movement and response times to pick up), interiors (anything from loot content to factory size), chat tweaks (size and colours), nametags above players (readability and permanence), players scan tool (ability to scan equipment), and lastly terminal UI/UX.

If mobs interact with liquids, mudflats and mines the same as players do (to some extent), things would be more fair. Just doesn't make sense that baboon hawks can trod over mudflats, or thumpers dashing over mines with ease. Moreover, I wish the cruiser is prone to sink or fail when submerged. To combat this, image the different upgrades you can purchase for the vehicle.

Further suggestions: different damage output depending how long you hold the shovel for, basically a charge meter appears.
A similar charge meter but for stun grenades, allowing you to manage your throws before detonation. And what if you can throw or hurl scrap, capable of hurting mobs. There is much potential for exploration here! Having the ability to climb obstacles in the facility, instead of relying on jumping - image if some enemies are adapted to this and can reach you regardless, perhaps breaking the object you are on?

Lastly, I wish there were a couple interiors and another moon or two added, for when release comes around. Having three interiors gets stale very quickly. This game doesn't recquire that much more to be superior, just the ability configure as much as possible, and balancing certain game aspects.

With that said, it's a 7/10. Has potential to be much higher.

This is a very fun and intresting horror game to play with freinds and laugh
