10 Best Games Like R.E.P.O. to Play With Friends
R.E.P.O. has a very specific itch: small crew, proximity voice chat, physics comedy, one bad decision ends the run. These ten games scratch it best in 2026 — compared side by side on players, platform, price and why each fits.
Quick Answer
If you love R.E.P.O., start with Lethal Company — same quota-driven scavenger loop and the closest match tonally. Content Warning is the funniest next pick, Phasmophobia the scariest, GTFO the most tactical, and Murky Divers the one that scales up to 8 players. All ten games on this page run under $40, most under $15, and every single one is built around a small co-op crew trying to extract before something eats them.
What Makes a Game "Feel Like REPO"?
Four traits show up in every good REPO alternative. Any game missing two of them is a different genre entirely.
Drop-in co-op chaos
A small crew, shared objective, one bad decision ruins the run. REPO tops out at 6 players; most alternatives support 4.
Proximity voice chat
Voice gets quieter as teammates walk away, so separation feels genuinely tense. The same mechanic drives Phasmophobia, Lethal Company and Content Warning.
Physics-driven slapstick
REPO's gravity gun ragdolls teammates and shatters fragile loot. Content Warning and Lethal Company share the same "accidentally kill your friend" comedy.
Greed vs. extraction
Push for one more room, or extract what you have? REPO, Lethal Company, Murky Divers and Deep Rock Galactic all build their loop around this tension.
10 Games Like R.E.P.O., Ranked
Ordered by how closely each game matches REPO's loop. Prices reflect full Steam retail and swing heavily during seasonal sales.
Lethal Company
Scavenge scrap on abandoned moons for a soulless corporation.
Why it feels like REPO: The closest match. Same "bring scrap back to meet a quota" loop, same proximity voice chat, same freak monsters. Slightly more grounded than REPO — no physics gun, but the comedy/dread balance is almost identical.
Content Warning
Film scary footage in an underground "Old World" for YouTube views.
Why it feels like REPO: Same developer ethos: cheap, stupid, hilarious, genuinely scary. Swap REPO's extraction cart for a camera that has to survive the dive, and you have the same friend-group comedy loop.
Phasmophobia
Investigate haunted buildings and identify the ghost before it kills you.
Why it feels like REPO: The proximity-chat godfather. Slower and more methodical than REPO — you gather evidence with gear rather than grab loot — but the "one player wanders off alone, then screams" beats hit the same way.
Deep Rock Galactic
Space dwarves mine resources and shoot bugs in destructible caves.
Why it feels like REPO: More action, less horror, but the core loop — descend, grab valuable stuff, extract before something eats you — is identical. Class system adds longevity REPO does not have.
GTFO
Tactical four-player raids into a nightmare underground prison.
Why it feels like REPO: The serious cousin. Whisper-quiet stealth, strict ammo economy, comms-heavy coordination. Pick this when your REPO lobby wants something punishing instead of chaotic.
The Outlast Trials
Cold-war-era human experiments with brutal stealth survival.
Why it feels like REPO: Heavier horror, lighter comedy. Atmospheric and genuinely disturbing, where REPO leans cartoonish. The co-op vulnerability feels very REPO — help a downed teammate or bolt.
Forewarned
Loot procedurally generated Egyptian tombs while medjay spirits hunt you.
Why it feels like REPO: A Phasmophobia-style investigation bolted onto an extraction loop. Identify the spirit, grab the treasure, escape. Very direct REPO translation if you already love REPO's "know the monster" layer.
DEVOUR
Stop possessed cultists before they drag you to hell.
Why it feels like REPO: Cheap, short, terrifying. Each map is a ritual you have to complete while one relentless enemy hunts you. Similar adrenaline curve to REPO's tougher extractions.
Pacify
Cleanse a haunted house while Emilia, a ghost girl, stalks your crew.
Why it feels like REPO: Older and rougher than the rest, but the lowest-barrier-to-entry option. Perfect for a single chaotic night when one of your friends does not own REPO yet.
Murky Divers
Salvage wrecks underwater while managing a submarine with your crew.
Why it feels like REPO: If REPO has become too familiar, try this. Drive the sub, dive for loot, watch your oxygen. Supports up to 8 players — the one game on this list that scales bigger than REPO.

Frequently Asked Questions
What game is most like REPO?
Lethal Company is the clearest match. Both games build the same loop — drop into a hostile map, scavenge valuables, avoid monsters, extract before you die — and both use proximity voice chat to make separation stressful. REPO adds physics-based grabbing and ragdoll comedy, so think of Lethal Company as the slightly more grounded sibling.
Are any games like REPO free?
None of the titles on this list are free-to-play as of 2026, but several go on sale regularly for under $5. Pacify is the cheapest at ~$4.99 even at full price, and Lethal Company, Content Warning, DEVOUR and Murky Divers all drop to around $5 during Steam seasonal sales. Free demos and free weekends show up on Steam occasionally — check the game's Steam page for "Demo available" or "Free Weekend" badges.
Are games like REPO available on PS5 or Xbox?
A few are. Content Warning launched on PS5 and Xbox Series in 2026, The Outlast Trials has been on consoles since 2024, and Deep Rock Galactic is on PS4, PS5 and Xbox. REPO itself, Lethal Company, Phasmophobia, GTFO, DEVOUR, Pacify, Forewarned and Murky Divers are Steam-only at the time of writing. Remote Play from a PC is the usual workaround for console-only players.
Which of these games is best for solo play?
The Outlast Trials, DEVOUR, Deep Rock Galactic and Forewarned all officially support solo runs, though most lean heavily on multiplayer. Phasmophobia is surprisingly strong solo because the pace is slow and evidence-gathering is methodical. Lethal Company, REPO and Content Warning are playable alone but lose most of their appeal — the proximity voice chat comedy is the whole point.
Which one supports the most players?
Murky Divers is the largest natively: up to 8 players in a big submarine. Most others cap at 4 by default (Phasmophobia, Lethal Company, Content Warning, DEVOUR, GTFO, Forewarned, Pacify, The Outlast Trials, Deep Rock Galactic). REPO sits between them at 6. If you need more than 4 in REPO, the "More Players" mod on Thunderstore lifts the cap — see our commands & mods page for setup.
Which of these is the scariest?
The Outlast Trials and Phasmophobia win by a wide margin. Outlast leans into psychological dread and relentless stalkers, Phasmophobia builds slow tension with proximity voice chat and real paranormal behaviour. REPO, Content Warning and Lethal Company are horror-comedy — they lean more funny than frightening, which is why their lobbies are usually laughing rather than screaming.
Are any newer games like REPO worth watching?
The co-op scavenger horror genre exploded after Lethal Company in late 2023, and a steady stream of new entries keeps launching in Early Access. Keep an eye on Steam's "Co-op" and "Horror" tags, and on r/REPOgame threads where players cross-recommend.
