You don't have to like games just because they are popular. It's clearly not for you and that's really all there is to it, and that is ok. Go try something else that actually piques your interest.

I don't think it'll grow on you as you play it more. It's one of those games where you can kind of immediately tell whether you'll like it or not.

I also think it's pretty repetitive (not even different interiors for each moon) but I've been finding a lot of fun with the goofiness of it all. Playing with friends, laughing at each other's demises, and screwing around with the funny gadgets you can buy is where all the fun is for me.

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.

Lethal Company is a horror game. Sure people find a lot of funny moments in it, but it's still mainly just a horror game. If you don't like the horror bits, the rest is just going to be boring for you. Don't feel like you have to force yourself to like it just because everyone else does

As others said, it's not for everyone. The gameplay loop is and will remain repetitive.

For what it's worth, I hate horror but I generally just get surprised, not scared in this game. To me it's a game where you go in with the mindset that you'll likely die in some horrible way, but it'll make for a funny scene or story afterwards.

I'd actually recommend watching clips of people. Not big name YouTubers, just the random 5-60s clips people upload and figuring out if those sort of events would be things you'd laugh at or enjoy being part of yourself.

You do you. If we all liked the same things life would be dull.

I hate horror games too, but I like my friends so... when they all wanted to play I joined them.

Then I found there was a man-in-the-chair role and the rest was laughter filled history.

Sometimes we just don't like certain genres. I've tried dozens of times to get into rogue likes and I cannot get into them. I enjoyed hades decently enough, and I could get to the boss. But the gameplay loop always gets repetitive for me. It's weird!

Lethal Company is still in early access. It is anyone's guess what will happen between now and when the game is "finished".

No matter how popular it is, I’m pretty sure I don’t have to play it to know I wouldn’t like it.

You walk into rooms, and if there’s no monster, you collect the scrap. If there is, you either die instantly and present a clip for your teammates, or there’s a very simple counter for them that just requires not instantly panicking.

Lots of waiting for your teammates to finish a mission because you just got unlucky.

I also hate horror games (other than silent hill 2), but Lethal Company was so much more enjoyable for me when I was playing as an operator for my team. You might want to try staying in the ship and giving the most concise and precise calls to your radio operator friend that's inside. It is less scary, even if there are some monsters roaming outside at times (but they are pretty easy to dodge)

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.

It’s the cheap snack food of games. The fun part for me was dying in crazy ways and watching my friends get the horror movie treatment.

The game itself is kind of lame. The fun comes from the other players.

There are quite a few mods for the game to make it suit your tastes better

No. That's it. It's basically a standalone Roblox game.

It's got some decent ideas, but it's so poorly made and repetitive. If it weren't $10, it would never have gained any traction.

On the up-side, it does conclusively demonstrate that there's a market for that sort of low-cost indie game.

The only reason it's fun for us till now is because we're so bad that we can make fun of each other all the time. Now we moved on to the stage where one mods the game to death. We're at 35 mods right now. But after that it'll get boring even quicker, because there are only so many situations one can experience.
