Misery isn't a title for everyone, nor for those who love single-player adventures - it needs co-op to show off its true worth - but for those who embrace its pace and constant melancholy, it can prove to be a surprisingly sincere experience.

MISERY is a game of incredible extremes. On the one hand, it offers a brilliant, addictive loop of exploration and base-building with an atmosphere so thick you could cut it with a knife. Playing co-op with friends generates an endless stream of hysterical and nail-biting situations. On the other hand, it will drive you to distraction with its inventory system and botched combat system. If you’ve got a bunch of patient friends, I highly recommend diving into this misery.

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

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.
