It’s been said time and time again, but it bears repeating that 2023 has been an incredible year for games. Between long-awaited, critically acclaimed AAA sensations like Baldur’s Gate 3 or Alan Wake 2, impressive indie titles like Dredge or Sea of Stars, and even big DLC expansions like The Elder Scrolls Online: Necrom or Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, there’s been an abundance of phenomenal games and experiences to enjoy this year.
Amidst the Starfields and the Armored Cores, though, there was one game that came out of nowhere to Steam Early Access in late October, and has been talk of the town ever since: Lethal Company. Crafted by solo game developer Zeekerss, this co-op survival horror roguelike is one of the best social multiplayer games I’ve ever played, and my friends and I have been having a blast with it ever since we picked it up at the start of December.
