by Adam Mar 06,2025

R.E.P.O., a darkly humorous cooperative horror game, is making waves on Steam. Released in Early Access on February 26th, this title tasks players with retrieving valuable items from monster-infested locations. Developers anticipate an Early Access period lasting six to twelve months.

This meme-rich, cooperative horror experience is shattering Steam records and attracting overwhelmingly positive feedback. Boasting over 6,000 reviews, an impressive 97% are positive.

Players highlight the game's unique blend of humor and engaging gameplay. The advanced physics engine, particularly crucial for object transport, receives significant praise. Many compare it favorably to Lethal Company, suggesting R.E.P.O. represents a compelling evolution of similar concepts, rather than a mere imitation.

R.E.P.O.'s popularity is also reflected in its player numbers. Daily record-breaking concurrent player counts have been observed since launch, with yesterday's peak reaching a staggering 61,791. Surprisingly, Monday's player count even surpassed weekend numbers, further highlighting its viral success.
