Playing Misery, whether by yourself or with others, provides a unique taste of post-apocalyptic survival. This game is more about atmosphere, experimentation, and endurance than it is about intricate mechanics or narrative explication.

MISERY is one of the most conflicting games I’ve played. It's buggy, unbalanced, and technically a mess. By all accounts, it should be a "Not Recommended." And yet, I can't wait to log back in with my friends. The core loop is just that good, the atmosphere is that thick, and the potential is that high. The developer's honesty and activity in fixing the game's initial, glaring flaws have earned a lot of goodwill. If you are a picky gamer, stay away. But if you and your friends love Stalker and Lethal Company and have a high tolerance for jank, MISERY is a $10 diamond in the rough that is absolutely worth the trouble. – ColdMoon
