It took a while but the excellent co-op horror game R.E.P.O. just got a major content update

The Museum Update is the first major update to R.E.P.O since it entered Early Access in February.

I've had a serious blast playing this one with the smaller version of me, it's probably one of the funniest co-op horror games around and it works perfectly on Linux with the latest Proton 9.0-4. No anti-cheat nuisances either, it just works, click and play.

Unfortunately for players, but fortunately for the developer, it was a lot more popular than they expected. This is what caused a big part of the delay for updating it. Anyway, The Museum Update is here now, check out the update trailer below:

The changelog includes a whole lot of tweaks and bug fixes to make it smoother, along with adding all this:

• A whole new level, Museum of Human Art!
• Server List and Random Matchmaking!
• Region Picker - Choose your server region, or keep automatic selection as before!
• Moon Phases - Shifts every 5 levels, raising difficulty and adding effects like Overcharge. Only a few moons are available for now, with more planned! View active moons in the escape menu.
• Overcharge - Only active in later moon phases. Grabbing an enemy builds Overcharge. When the meter is full you get blasted back! Stronger enemies generate more Overcharge. If multiple players grab the same enemy, the Overcharge is greatly reduced.
• Kick - Remove players from a lobby or during a level, preventing them from rejoining.
• Lobby Passwords - Private lobbies can now be password protected for security!
• Steam - Click player heads in lobby or icons next to mic sliders to open their Steam profile!
• Steam - Players now appear in your "recently played with" list after playing together.
• Toggle Mute - Press "B" to quickly mute or unmute your microphone. Can be configured in settings.
• New battery UI - Every stock on the battery now represents one use.
• New gameplay setting - Invert vertical aim!
• Extraction Points now feature a new warning graphic during the countdown, highlighting what valuables are at risk of being destroyed!
• New upgrade - Crouch Rest!
