The use of an advanced physics engine for transporting objects has been a particular highlight, offering players a fresh and interactive experience.
Many fans are drawing comparisons between R.E.P.O. and the popular game Lethal Company, noting that while R.E.P.O. builds upon similar themes, it presents a unique evolution of the concept rather than being a mere clone.
