    Still blows my mind that there's an official Pokemon game inspired by a damn Lovecraft story. Scarlet and Violet is literally The Colour Out of Space for kids.

    PLEASE play ‘Still Wakes the Deep’ A COSMIC/BODY HORROR game that is basically ‘The Thing’ x ‘Color Out of Space’ but set on an oil rig in 1975 Great cast of characters, great dialogue, beautiful graphics; eerie, scary and incredibly tense 10/10

    Then there's FoC, a Lovecraftian action horror game that's more Terminator than, say, The Colour Out Of Space. In fact, that's how it was pitched to me. Terminator but Skynet is Cthulhu.

    I bought a couch co-op game called Out Of Space on the Switch, and it crashed *every time* after about half an hour of play We tried it again years later and it still didn't work That stuck out in my mind as the biggest purchase regret from me, even if it was just 10 bucks

    The game is so fun but needs work. Item directions are hard to deal with, controls can’t be customized, the invite system is buggy, and gameplay feels unbalanced for smaller teams. Fixing these issues would greatly enhance the experience. I recommend this game for its fun co-op gameplay and unique strategy concept.

    I played this with my wife. It is a good game, well designed, and did what it was supposed to well. But also not an amazing game. We progressed quite a bit, and enjoyed our time with it. Sometimes it was too challenging, but after we learned good strategies we were doing well. It is difficult to say why this was not an excellent game for us. We still think a positive review is the fitting one, but we also felt the game could be better somehow. Perhaps if the speed of the game was a bit…

    It was the kind of game that kept me coming back until I finally could get a whole house clean (only possible for me with friends playing with me) and then say "That was fun, I don't want to play again. If you can get it for super cheap, it may be kind of fun, but the pacing feels off. Starts out alright and then exponentially gets harder. You have to rush through it all to make it work. I was hoping for slower strategy.

    This game could be a lot of fun, but the controls are horrible. Sometimes you interact with X, sometimes with B and sometimes with A. Sometimes A picks up the bucket, sometimes a bug, and sometimes it interacts with the highlighted item.

    This is a fun, cute game that has you maintaining your ship in outer space while protecting your rooms and vents from aliens and alien goo. I'd recommend to those with kids, or to people who enjoy more of the day to day life play style or cozy games. It can get somewhat stressful/overwhelming, especially as you're learning or playing large maps with difficult challenges. But there is an option for 'Zen Mode' which helps it feel more cozy and simplistic. With Zen Mode, I am able to complete more…

    I loved this game and really enjoyed playing it online with friends several years ago. I recently pulled it up to introduce it to someone new and was disappointed to find that it barely worked anymore. We tried playing with one Mac and two controllers, and with two Macs, both of which were glitchy. Some of the buttons didn't actually work with a controller, so I'd have to reach for the keyboard. Just getting it to join the same room was difficult. The second player would randomly drop in and…

    You clean a room, flys spawn and screw everything up. You clean that up and flys spawn again and break everything you bought. Doors keep closing and its easy to mistakenly recycle your nice new items. Not fun, just a stressful game.

    Well polished mechanics and fun gameplay loop, but could have done with a campaign mode, more unlocks and less reskins. Dynamic splitscreen would have helped on the larger sized levels. Shout out to Mini Musubi for the carry.

    Controls are terrible, your character is way too snappy for their own good. Aliens spawn way too much gunk and even the slightest touch and you have to put your friend/partner in the shredder.

    If you and your friends like games such as Overcooked, Moving Out etc, Out of Space is a good game to add to the list! Colourful graphics, cute characters to choose from (when unlocked). Objective is simple, yet completing it is dependent on how you and your friends play - could be simple to table flipping the longer you go on, but still recommended for co-op and chaos fans.

    ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆ (4,5) / 5 A great little co-op game. The gameplay loop is simple but satisfying: clean the ship, take care of your alien-infested home, and try not to get overwhelmed. It’s fast-paced, cooperative, and can get pretty intense in the best way. One thing I really appreciate is the option to play local co-op on one screen (couch co-op). which is pretty rare these days on PC. Not many games offer that anymore. If you're looking for a light, cooperative game to play with friends or…

    It's just an homage to Lovecraft, like his story The Colour Out of Space. The game is more about pregnancy and childbirth.

    Too many bugs! We constantly encounter game-breaking glitches while playing multiplayer. We've dealt with items becoming un-interactable (like being unable to grab the bucket or the broom) and severe desync issues—for example, my friend will see an alien in my hands while my own screen shows I'm holding nothing. It is REALLY FRUSTRATING to lose a match you put so much effort into just because the game is broken!!!

    Loose controls, easily cheesable, boring either way. Almost no way to know what you're going to pick up if there's multiple things on the floor or if you're going to shower or pick up a bucket. Core loop is very tedious. I hope you like running back and forth between the room you want to clean and your sink. You can use the spray and a treadmill to farm infinite money but nothing can fix the fact that one bucket simply can't clear a room so you have to breach and clear multiple times.…

It would disconnect entirely and stop working when I make it a wired connection instead this is possibly the worst software issue I have ever encountered.

    Good news is, there's a zen mode. Bad news is, there's not really any continued development on this. However, the weekly challenges can be fun brain benders, and sometimes you just want to play something familiar with a clear beginning and end. If that's your vibe, it's definitely for you. I completed this with my partner on regular mode - which resulted in a lot of intense moments and gnashing of teeth, but it did help us learn to communicate better with each other! Now I play this on zen…

    This game was really fun to play with friends or on your own back when I bought it a couple of years ago, but now, as there have been no updates since 2021, it is so buggy and sometimes unplayable. I couldn't play with friends and it would either crash or just never load. I wouldn't waste your money on this game now, it's been abandoned!!

    I really appreciate that Zen Mode doesn't disqualify you from earning achievements, as Zen Mode is my preferred mode for solo play. The art style is charming, and the gameplay loop is short and simple. The biggest annoyance is the interact prompt: many times, my character has taken a shower instead of picking up the water bucket the shower just filled. While it'd be nice if Out of Space got an update after 4 years, I'm happy with its current content. Pick it up on sale.

    Out of Space is a cooperative survival-management game that takes an everyday concept—cleaning—and transforms it into a surprisingly tense, strategic, and often hilarious struggle for survival. Developed and published by Behold Studios, the game drops players into a derelict spaceship overrun by an aggressive alien infestation and asks them to do something deceptively simple: make the place livable again. What follows is not a relaxing tidy-up, but a constant balancing act between housekeeping,…

    Game has potential but don't try and play this with only one friend. My impression is that the game is scaled in single player mode so that it's doable but as soon as you add one buddy, it goes straight up to four player difficulty. Tried four games in a row, lost all four, switched to single player, won the first one I tried. I'd be happy to change this to a positive review with more granular scaling.

The challenge modes add lots of additional fun to the game and even a large ship is doable solo if you can't convince anyone to play with you. Much love for cleaner bot! Water bot means well.

    ***I want to point out, I never played it multiplayer so I cannot speak for actual game play with others. Out of Space really is a fun game, too bad there's only an average of 30 people playing online at any given time. That means as you might have guessed, if you don't have friends to play with locally or online you aren't going to get much play time out of your $15 USD. Solo is okay for a couple of matches, but too often you'll get a match that's unwinnable. The maps are randomized each time…
