    So I'm not the target market for lo-fi streamerbait co-op extraction shooters. As such, can anyone speak to what this one has over any of the others in the increasingly crowded market?

      I haven't played the demo yet, just watched the trailer and looked at the store page - but it looks like it's filling a unique niche. It looks like a blend of Deep Rock Galactic, Risk of Rain 2, and Borderlands. That personally seems like an interesting mix and outside of deep rock galactic doesn't seem to have too many active competitors.

      I'm also curious what makes you say this looks like streamer bait? To me streamer bait are social games with horror/silly interactions. Mycopunk doesn't look to have any of those properties.

        It's the goofy tone and group stuff that makes me think that it's designed for people to play on stream and laugh at their friends' mishaps, which perhaps is an overly cynical and reductionist...

    I love the Moebius-esque textures in this, and I'm a big fan of mushrooms and co-op shooters. Honestly this kind of seems like a game that was made for my specific tastes! Between this and FBC:...

    Between this and FBC: Firebreak there are going to be some very cool co-op games this year.
