Im deciding to log this now as I think my time with this game has came to an end and I dont see myself playing it often enough in the future to put it off anymore.

Lethal Company had the online world in a chokehold earlier this year and seems currently to have been knocked off this position by Helldivers 2. This is one of the most unique ideas for a game I have seen in a long time and through the couple times I have played it I had a blast. There are a few essential parts you need to properly enjoy this game, you need to play with friends and you need to use the proximity chat. The proximity chat feature is amazing and hearing your friends scream off in the distance is both hilarious and terrifying. Running around in the facilities is so tense its brilliant. After doing some research we found one of the better strategys was having someone stay on the ship and direct the three others using the cameras which was a lot of fun using the walkie talkies to communicate. Id recommend trying this playstyle out if you havent its a lot of fun even for the person on the ship.

The gameplay loop has you and 3 teammates landing on random moons to gather enough scrap to reach your quota. However you are getting attacked by ruthless and unforgiving monsters that will leave your whole squad dead within minutes of stepping off your ship.

I love the visuals, gives off old school gmod vibes mixed with a new style. Also apparently there is secret lore hidden on each planet which is cool.

I wish that I could spend more time with this game but my problem specifically is that me and all my friends primarily are on PlayStation so we dont find ourselves playing this often. I don't doubt I will probably play this again in the future as it is a fantastic multiplayer experience and I hope this game keeps its audience as it deserves all its praise.
