Lethal Company - Game Review
0Lethal Company is a small but wonderfully designed co-op horror survival game. I don't normally review games in early access but I couldn't help myself this time.
You play as a faceless slave to a shady corporation. Your objective is to explore alien planets and gather as much salvage and junk to sell as you can. You have 3 days per cycle to meet the minimum quota, otherwise you will be ejected out in to space. If you perform well enough you may even earn yourself a meaningless promotion or two.
Lethal Company is very, very fun. It features procedural generated confined spaces to explore, packed with varying monsters with unique mechanics. The idea of it is so simple and it just works exactly the way it should be. This game is obviously best played with friends as it features perfected proximity chat and the game can function as a trolling sandbox when you get bored since you can turn off the lights and do other illogical things but to mess with your buddies for entertainment purposes.
I definitely recommend the game but it does have a long way to go. The bare bones of it is extremely solid and worth the price, but there's no denying the lack of purpose and content. That being said I want the game to retain what it is and not become worse or over complicated as time passes like Starbound or Hello Neighbor did; where early Alpha versions of the game were actually better and preferred to later builds. I wouldn't call Lethal Company addicting because there is no real end game or purpose, but it's certainly entertaining and a perfect game to mess with your friends in.
Lethal Company is in a great spot right now and I foresee it only improving in the future. My #1 request would be to give the outdoor environments real purpose and reason to explore, and maybe add an item or two to help with navigation.
