What players are saying
Counted from the reviewers’ own thumbs up/down on the 174 English Steam reviews we collected, not by the AI. Valve’s all-language rating: Mixed (350 of 544 positive).
Players find the core gameplay fun but repetitive. [1][2][3] Many reviewers note that online co-op is broken or servers are offline. [4][5][6][7] Some players enjoy the game as mindless action, while others criticize its lack of variety. [8][9][10]

This isn't a good game, and you, the reader, aren't mistaking it for one. I think you already understand that this game is delightfully janky, and does procedural generation in a way that's some stupid fun to clown on with a co-op teammate. But, honestly, it doesn't hold up past that, and it gets way too difficult and not fun at some point. There's very little variation past the jank, all the "bosses" that I saw …

Great game! you abuse doors so many times lmfao, basically a door abuse simulator. It's sad that online co-op is not working, Idk if they shut down the servers or no one is playing. If you want to play online forget it, if you want to go solo just buy it. Rico 8/10 Heisen

RICO delivers a solid dose of adrenaline-pumping action with its unique take on the first-person shooter genre, Just think the breaching sections from the Call Of Duty series but as a whole game. Busting down doors in slow motion and taking out enemies with precision is incredibly satisfying, and the cooperative game-play adds a fun dynamic if you’re playing with a friend. However, the game’s initial thrill starts …

Rico is a fun rogue-like shooter with a leveling system and quite an interesting yet repetitive gameplay. Its good fun don't get me wrong, but a little bit more content would've made this good game better.
Summarised from 34 of the 277 public posts collected about this game; every point cites the posts behind it ([n] opens the post) and the split is counted from the posts’ own ratings. Updated Oct 13, 2026. How summaries are made
60% of the 174 Steam reviewers we collected recommend RICO. The complaint that keeps coming up: online co-op servers are offline or broken. Deal-breaker or nitpick?

For those who haven't played: Role-selection farming game. Take turns selecting a role/action. Everyone does the action but the person who chose it gets a stronger version.

I loved how the game also had you make critical decisions about what equipment to buy, it added to the tension in the missions! It was a super fun game!

neutral · AI labelView post →I'm extremely conflicted about this game. On the one hand, I love what the devs were trying to do here. Basically, for those of you who know about the game FEAR, this is that but with the horror elements replaced by rouguelite elements... and without as much of a budget. Which is probably the root of every problem I have with it. It is very simplistic, and since it is all gameplay, I think you can play it for as little as I have (3.3 hours, last I checked) and come away with a pretty good…

neutral · AI labelView post →Rico is a First Person Shooter, where you play as a loose cannon police detective in the fictional San Amaro part of a task force where there is one goal. Stop the criminals by any means necessary. The game doesn’t offer much in terms of story. There is one cut scene at the beginning which explains that criminals are getting out of hand and the only way to stop them is bullets… Lots of bullets. The game is a breach and clear style of game. Before you go into each room, you kick the door in…
