Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
45 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Fun, addicting gameplay loop, though it can be quite frustrating and boring when the SCP team raids the entirety of the light containment zone in mere seconds or whenever they camp the entrance zone for the entire duration of the round.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I've always liked the idea of an SCP game having multiplayer, and this one does a good job at it.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's really fun to play with friends, but that doesn't mean public servers are bad.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
pretty good community, gameplay and idea. not really competitive and it isnt well optimized, my pc gets 60-90fps on high graphics
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
6 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The gunplay is satisfying, the atmosphere is phenomenal, and the sound design can make an ordinary corridor feel like the entrance to hell itself.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
6 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The learning curve is quite steep, and there are so many things people use that are never really explained to you as a new player unless you can find someone to explain them to you.
