SCP: 5K is a whole lot different from what you'd see coming from Containment Breach, Secret Lab or even Nine-Tailed Fox. Fighting your way through a facility gathering intel to discover a truly horrific bigger picture, sidestepping expectations of a one striving to "Secure. Contain. Protect."

I'll skip over anything performance related due to the fact that my computer is on the higher end, but for those with one similar; game runs great on Ultra WITHOUT UPSCALING!

While, at times, an incredibly unforgiving game, SCP 5K manages to balance punishing death and losing progress quite nicely. Get careless, and suddenly you've lost the last 10–20 minutes of progress. Which, in my opinion is a good balance to keep you on your toes and keep you from going Rambo all over the place. (Well, it's definitely doable, if you get the guns down.)

Speaking of the guns; they feel INCREDIBLE. You actually feel like you're dragging a heavy weapon across your shoulder and shooting feels super solid. Landing good shots feels rewarding as enemies will drop dead with a single good shot. The variety of weapons is also really nice, and the customisation definitely scratches the "tacticool" itch.

Don't stand too close to your teammate with an M1014 though; seems like I've been disorienting a good friend of mine going ham on the trigger.

While all of the above is pretty awesome, the game definitely isn't perfect either. To be expected given it's still in Alpha Testing, and the team working on it has been doing an incredible job, but some things do definitely take some getting used to or you should keep in mind.

My biggest two peeves; movement and player guidance.

While movement in most parts of the game is incredibly smooth, sometimes it gets a little unintuitive with leaning and small edges you easily get stuck on. Invisible walls here and there that don't really make sense often, or something you should definitely be able to jump on just... Not being "jump-on-able."

Player guidance, however, definitely gets on my nerves at times. The amount of times we've asked ourselves "Where the ♥♥♥♥ do we go" or spent aimlessly running around entire levels for up to 10 minutes trying to find a tiny switch, or even going as far to thinking we're in a bugged area because of how unclear progression was at times, which is especially problematic during high intensity situations (Looking at you, Ghosts of the South Gate. INTENSELY.)

Then there's also a tiny few nit-picky ones that aren't such a big deal, but ammo is... Painful at times. As far as we could tell, there's no separate ammo types; pick up a box, it'll add a mag to your currently equipped weapon. A little odd, but not an issue. BUT! If you die and respawn, those mags will be GONE. You cannot get them back from your body, and you are left with a single magazine. Better hope you left some ammo laying around.

The in game voice chat is also a little finicky at times. Sometimes you won't be able to hear each other even though you're standing right around a corner (Close enough to see the barrel of the weapon poking out), or through a fence. Also, the lack of radio for long distance communication is a little disappointing.

Despite that, I would absolutely recommend SCP: 5K, both to enjoyers of the Mobile Task Force part of the SCP universe, enjoyers of tacticoolness and survival shooters in general. The maps are massive and can take hours to complete.

Really looking forward to where this game will go. Devs are doing an awesome job at it!

Would.

Crafting needs a little work imo, very annoying that the items need to be in the workbench even though them being in your inventory, but absolutely not a dealbreaker (or maybe I'm just stupid.)
NPC combat is also a little wonky, but not to the level of unplayable, just gotta be really careful.

Other than that, been having a great time playing with some friends. Fun game, enjoying the exploration and base building (even though we're only at the very basics so far). Hoping this game will go far with time! Been loving it.

Looks great, runs pretty decently.

Played only about 30 minutes, but so far it's been pretty damn good.
Thoroughly enjoyed every second of it, funny scenarios, funny moves, funny dialogue, and all around a good feel to play.

Definitely recommend if you want to feel cool swinging a sword and kicking around objects.
Ding! My favourite sound!

Easily one of the greatest games I've ever played.
My boyfriend bought me this game a good while ago and I had to wait ages before playing it, but today I finally managed, and holy ♥♥♥♥ I had a blast, and kinda sad I had to wait this long before I could play this masterpiece of a game.

The game is incredibly polished and has an incredibly good story line. It is visually and mentally STUNNING.
Never ever did I think I would play a game like this, but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ am I glad to have lived in the same timeline of SEX with HITLER existing. I truly feel honoured to have been able to play this gem of a game.

My first introduction to Souls-like games and wauw, I got hooked quick on that one for a good while.

Cool game, but don't bother with Online if you're new and plan on playing legitimately.
