If Sci-Fi horror is your standard bag, and the darkish corners of the cosmos are your most well-liked playground, boy does Pet Undertaking Video games have the first-person shooter for you. Ripout is a fast-paced co-op FPS stuffed with intense interstellar motion, and with a *checks notes* dwelling Pet Gun. Yeah. That is a factor.

It is the mix of that gritty, barely-lit Sci-Fi aesthetic mixed with clean, Future model fight is what retains the sport thrilling moment-to second as you traverse these derelict space-dungeons.
