Co-op hit Party Animals already has over 100k Steam players, but "mostly negative" reviews as players cite server problems and no offline mode
The recently-launched chaotic co-op game Party Animals already has a lot of concurrent players on Steam, but that hasn't stopped it from getting 'Mostly Negative' reviews.
On September 20, Steam's former most-wishlisted game, Party Animals, was released. It's been a long time coming so fans have been eager to get started brawling with their friends - so much so that the game has already surpassed 100K concurrent players on Steam, as spotted by Knoebel on Twitter via SteamDB.
You'd think the reception to Party Animals has been good, considering so many people were excited about this one, but its launch hasn't gone exactly as planned. If you head on over to the party game's Steam page now, you'll see that it's got 'Mostly Negative' reviews. There are a number of reasons why players are having trouble with this title, but the main ones come down to its servers, its monetization, and its lack of an offline mode.

There are plenty of other negative reviews discussing the same thing too, with some players reporting having to wait between 10 minutes and over an hour to get into the game at all.
