R.E.P.O. (Retrieve, Extract, and Profit Operation) is one of the most creative and chaotic co-op horror games to drop in recent years. You and up to five friends take on the role of robotic agents tasked with retrieving bizarre, valuable artifacts from procedurally generated haunted locations—while being hunted by terrifying, physics-driven monsters. It’s a perfect storm of panic, teamwork, and laugh-out-loud moments.

The gameplay thrives on its physics system. Carrying a grand piano through a haunted mansion while your friend gets dragged into the void? Pure gold. The proximity voice chat is the cherry on top—adding layers of immersion, comedy, and genuine fear as your team yells over each other in a desperate scramble for survival.

The visual style blends unsettling environments with oddly charming robot characters, making the experience both eerie and entertaining. Regular updates, strong community feedback loops, and a dev team that actually listens make this a living, evolving game that only gets better.

Pros:

Brilliant mix of tension and comedy

Physics-based chaos that never feels stale

Up to 6-player co-op for ultimate team shenanigans

No microtransactions or pay-to-win junk

Devs drop frequent updates and polish

Cons:

Early Access means a few bugs here and there

Not ideal for solo players (this one’s meant for squads)

Some balancing quirks, especially with monster AI

Final Verdict:
R.E.P.O. nails the co-op horror formula like few games do. It’s scary when it wants to be, hilarious when you least expect it, and endlessly replayable with the right crew. Easily one of the best multiplayer experiences this year.

9/10 – Chaotic, creepy, and criminally fun.

Schedule I is one of the most unexpectedly brilliant simulation games on Steam right now. You start small—just you, an RV, and a dream of building a criminal empire in the gritty, fictional city of Hyland Point. From there, the game explodes into a full-blown strategy/simulation experience that blends the best parts of Papers, Please, Drug Dealer Simulator, and Breaking Bad-style chaos.

The gameplay loop is deep and addictive. You’ll be growing, manufacturing, packaging, selling, laundering, and expanding through tactical business moves and clever micromanagement. You can hire dealers, cooks, and cleaners, purchase properties, and automate your empire piece by piece. There are also fun little minigames for crafting and packaging that keep the grind from ever feeling stale. It even supports 4-player co-op so you can build your empire with friends.

The art is cartoonish but sharp, giving off Rick & Morty vibes while contrasting with the dark humor and serious undertones. The dev—working mostly solo—is actively updating the game and listening to community feedback. It’s already polished enough to feel like a complete experience, even in Early Access, and it shot to the top of Steam’s charts for a reason.

Pros:

Addictive, layered gameplay loop

Super unique tone and setting

Constant updates and community love

Co-op empire building is 🔥

Cons:

Still in Early Access (some rough edges)

Can feel grindy if you’re not into sim-style repetition

Not for everyone (it’s about drugs, obviously)

Final Verdict:
Schedule I is smart, hilarious, surprisingly deep, and totally worth your time. If you enjoy simulation games, dark satire, or just want something fresh and immersive, this is a certified banger.

9/10 – One of the best indie releases of the year.

ive been playing this game for years, what a community.
