More about Lethal Company
Players rate it 97 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 89 percent. Something recent has soured the room. 24 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2026 to August 2026. That is fewer refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 798 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 722 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 85 percent of the 21,216 reviews written there were positive, against 97 percent overall, and those are 5 percent of everything written about it.

I like the theme and atmosphere of the game, but what is the point even. You keep finishing quotas until you ultimately fail and die. I get bored, I don't feel rewarded enough to keep playing. It ain't for me. I regret buying. Also don't understand how this is an overwhelming positive reviewed game. I feel scammed. This game is also very unfriendly towards solo players. I hate talking with mic with strangers but...
To this day, this is still my favorite game of the "friendslop" genre. I even feel bad calling it that, because this is the game that started the whole genre's popularity in the first place. The premise is simple: you and your friends land on the moon and have to collect scrap to sell before the night comes. With scary creatures and all kinds of environmental hazards ready to kill you. Over 300 hours in this game...
