So I tried Lethal company... and didn't like it. Does it get better eventually ? (lemmings.world)

First and foremost, This is kind of a rant. I do not like horror games. I have never played any 'strictly horror' ones before. And yes I get scared easily.

My friends bought a new game called Lethal company and I didn't know what it was until they showed me some clips of it. For the first time ever, I thought a survival horror game would be fun. So I went ahead and purchased it on steam.

While playing the game I did get jumpscared without fail almost all of the time (God I hate that feeling). I also liked the proximity chat audio and the way it fades as the people move further away from each other.

After playing for 1.5 hours I found it to be very repetitive and boring but my friends seemed to be enjoying it. Now that I notice, the game has overwhelmingly positive ratings on Steam and many youtubers and streamers have reviewed the game very positively. Which led me to think, if I'm playing it the wrong way or something.

So is this one of those games which grows on you as you play ? Or will it be the same gameplay loop ?

So, yeah

I would say the game itself isn't particularly that fun. I can't remember the name of it, but there's an scp game that's much more game-y

But uh, lethal company for me, the enjoyment I get out of it has more to do with the people I'm playing with. I'm not sure I particularly like horror movies, but it very much seems to give the experience of being in one, knowing someone is either about to die or doing something that's going to get them or you killed and sometimes not being able to do much more than silently watch. To me, these situations are kind of hilarious, and the game is kinda just filled with these horror movie moments once you sort of know what is going on.

Maybe mods could change the experience a bit, but if watching your frirnds panic in a silly game isn't all that fun for you, then, yeah, probably not the game for you.
