R.E.P.O has taken over Twitch universe. It's an online co-op horror game, where you and up to five other players must survive together. Some couples are reporting that their relationship was tested during their experience, so be careful. Bring your therapist for game night.

The game is a box office hit. An inside source revealed the game has grossed over $115 million, and it's still climbing fast. The nature of the humourous gameplay in a "scary" environment, with these quirky little characters, is an absolute viral smash. It's the fun thing to do these days, and gamers and streaming fans are further propelling the marketing at this point. R.E.P.O. is selling itself by now.



The game rewards teamwork and the scenes during gameplay would be frightening if they weren't so hilarious. It seems like the developers were having too much fun in making it. It worked out well anyway, because that fun is transferring to the gamer experience.

The developer executed flawlessly on creating an environment which borders between funny and frightening. If you won't be able to sleep tonight without just knowing, R.E.P.O. stands for retrieve, extract and profit operation. You would have still had fun without knowing that, but it will impress someone guaranteed on game night if you can study and recite that.



Replayability is fairly high due to the unique experiences each time you play. The game is rogue-lite in that the layouts are generated procedurally, creating a somewhat different run each time. In the game, there are four types of monsters to beware of, Animal, Apex Predator, Bangers, and of course Clowns.

The ratings for R.E.P.O. are through the roof. At this point, it wouldn't be surprising if this game were to turn into a mini-mincraft still. Billion dollar games are rare, but every now and again they do happen.
