A newly released cooperative survival game, “MISERY,” is garnering positive reviews and widespread accessibility through its blend of advanced Unreal Engine 5 graphics and modest hardware demands, offered at an attractive promotional price.
Launched on October 23, 2025, the title quickly achieved “very positive” reviews on the Steam platform. It is currently available for approximately $5.94 USD during a 10% promotional discount, a price checked on November 3, 2025, and subject to change.
Developed by Platypus Entertainment and published by Ytopia, MISERY supports 1-5 players in a post-apocalyptic, radioactive setting. Its focus is on a multiplayer experience.
Players engage in looting, crafting, bunker construction, and trading within a procedurally generated world. This design emphasizes emergent gameplay and player coordination over cinematic set pieces.
Despite utilizing Unreal Engine 5 for modern visuals, dynamic lighting, and destructible environments, the game maintains relatively modest system requirements. This strategy aims to broaden its potential player base.
Survival in MISERY involves managing hunger, thirst, and radiation contamination while encountering anomalies, monsters, and bandits.
