The simplicity of men seems to be such a captivating thought that merely giving people the chance to play as a beer-chugging, chain-smoking dad is enough to spawn a phenomenon. And when you make that co-op and add some mundane tasks to the mix, you get RV There Yet.

Which is now, unsurprisingly, one of the most played games on Steam, having crossed over 100,000 concurrent players as of this article (

). It's a worldwide comedic fest, allowing up to four players to speak to the middle-aged dad within them and go around driving a semi-functional RV, getting bitten by snakes, cracking open a cold one (or few, probably many), and solving issues that unerringly crop up every time you want to have some fun.

The game almost invites you to make up a problem just so you can solve it. Screenshot via Nuggets Entertainment But problem-solving is part of the dad routine. A flat tire, a truck stuck in a pit, venom coursing through your veins, the procurement of alcohol, a cabin that needs fixing. All of these, and many other issues, come as part of the dad package, and really shine through RV There Yet and its laidback, colorful, and entirely unserious art style.

The game doesn't even have much of a gameplay loop. There's no ultimate goal, at least not an apparent one, because taking in the moment and pulling a drag from last night's stogie smoldering in the tray is more than enough. You're there with your pals, out in the wilderness, trying to make the most of life, because life, as we all know, is all about the little things.

Sure, I didn't have as much fun in it as when I was building cabins and shelters in Sons of the Forest, but it did let me communicate with that part of any man that just wants to hang with his friends watching a big boulder stumble down a hill, and unanimously exclaiming: "Hell yeah!," when it splashes into the river below.

It's that kind of game, really, and no wonder it's attracted so many people thus far.
