Not for solo and no, your not built different.

This shows promise but it needs a lot of work before I would recommend it. The first few hours are a good time with friends but not much content beyond that. If your interested in this game, wait till its on sale for cheap or give it a few years and buy it when its worth your time and money because right now, its not.

Should a barely playable alpha cost more then a better mod for a free game? Probably not. A lot of people will go on forever on the potential of this "game" but fact of the matter is there is no game, just 20$ burned in the night (more if you didn't get it on sale).

Some area feel a little barren but for an Alpha version this is amazing, you should try it out for yourself

While its in alpha and is quite rough around the edges with a few bugs and hilarious glitches this game is still miles ahead of nearly anything else I've played let alone scp games.

+Top tier graphics
This game truly looks stunning
+Immersive and realistic shooting mechanics
Weapon feel in this game is amazing, guns float and sway fluidly when hip firing or brace firing and the aiming mechanics feel realistic being rigid but not incredibly so. Even the weapon modification system serves more than one role as add ons like flash lights can help you explore or save your life without firing a single shot.
+Lots of weapon modification
+Threatening/challenging enemies and anomalies
+Truly unique and interesting exploration
+Immersive horror
While immersing you in this universe and firmly grounding you in it, this game does not pull ANY punches treating you as it does its own NPCs and characters. In short it always threatens you without ever really making you feel completely powerless.
+Beautiful and well thought out maps and levels
+etc.


Keep in mind these critiques are of as this game stands in alpha
-scp 939
This enemy doesn't have much to contribute to the game, its a archetypal brute but it dies fairly quickly and visually is not much different from the chickens (who are more numerous and deadly) maybe we should limit it's spawns and make it bigger and more menacing. Or at least add more challenge to it than just running in and charging you, like picking off lone squad mates or luring you into certain areas to kill you quicker.
-bugs and glitches
yeah its in alpha, just report them and let the devs do their jobs or figure out why it happened.
>Respawn carryover
When you die you dont respawn with your actual gun and certain items will drop and soft lock you out of your game, either disable this feature and have the players "go down" instead of dying or make respawning more user (and lore) friendly
>Lag
Sometimes encounter lag, nothing world shattering or even detrimental to the game experience. But its still something we could do without so its here.
-Health
Not being able to pick up med kits or bandages to use later while annoying is also immersion breaking, I'd recommend implementing some kind of management system, it doesnt need to be incredibly complex but make it hard to spam healing in the middle of a fight.

-heavy lack of story
If you didnt read content outside of the game, you'd have no clue what was going on in game or why. We need a more cohesive story and plot to follow. This will probably come later but i figure it should be mentioned early. For example why are we just in some random room in area 12? How did we get there who are we etc.

-lack of interesting characters and sub plots
Besides CROW I cant think of one actual character in this game, just groups and factions.

-AI and NPC interaction
Sometimes the AI is way too good, sometimes they just decide to run up a flight of stairs direct into your line of fire. Which is fine for zombies, but for the more human characters a little bit of intelligence should be observed. We need a more happy medium between instant ko shot to the head and walking up to me and volunteering for lead collection.

Maybe even have diffrent characters have diffrent behaviors, like d class running from the player and begging for their lives, foundation acting more cohesive and tactical, zombies being brain dead, etc.


-Fast pace introduction of scps
We need a little more foreshadowing and introduction of some of the enemies and anomalies we encouter, we dont need a explanation per say. But just popping up out of nowhere isnt ideal either.

♥♥♥♥♥ какай-то

The amount of content here is very impressive & the gunplay feels fantastic. It's still in EA, and it feels like some features were just barely implemented such as the loadout UI and character customization.

Runs great and is very spooky.

The game is kinda the inverse of what you'd expect from an early access game.

1. It is extremely optimized (file size is maybe double what it should be, but the game runs, boots up, and loads things absurdly smoothly)
2. The soundscape is AMAZING. The audio engineering people did a stellar job.
3. The game looks gorgeous. The game is stunning and every SCP is absolutely terrifying.
4. The game remarkably stable. I encountered very few bugs or even frame drops with the bulk of them being during Chapter 3.

The problem though is the game's map and puzzle design is so atrocious and cumbersome that sometimes it feels like the game is trying to make sure you can't refund it. The environments are gorgeously designed, but can be far too big and have tiny unmarked objective items HIDDEN throughout them. SCP 5K can feel like a backtracking simulator at times. You have a hotkey to show interactable objects,

If you REALLY are into SCP, it's definitely worth playing (it's how we kept going). Otherwise, just get it on sale and play with a friend.

Our biggest points of feedback are probably:

Too many doors to make backtracking easier are unlockable only after you've had to do a lot of backtracking already.

What is and isn't interactable can be hard to distinguish. In Chapter 2, especially, what doors can be opened by what keycard level isn't consistent. The locations and uses of key items can also be difficult to determine at first glance. The "T" vision is kinda iffy at best. There are also many doors which can be opened and identical doors which can't. Some of these doors are mandatory and some lead to empty rooms. It sorta can feel like an old DOS shooter, ramming yourself into any vaguely interactable door and hoping you CAN open it. Chapter 2 struggles the most from all of this.

Too many objectives point to areas of the map that are labeled incorrectly or provide instructions so far away from what you're actually supposed to do that they border on malicious design. For the MANY objectives which want you to find the solution in the environment, a vague "find a way to X" would be better than a specific but wildly incorrect label instead.

There is also the opposite where there are many objectives which are TOO vague to the point of just being inaccurate. You'll be tasked with making a sandwich or whatever and end up having to fix your car so you can drive to the library and check out a book on raising fish. You'll be doing all these side objectives and end up confused on how they relate to your objective (they sometimes just... don't.)

There is a pretty inconsistent use of environmental puzzles. The worst example is Chapter 1 is full to the brim of using your environment to your advantage (avoiding hazards, completing puzzles, making fights easier). You do absolutely none of it ever again (with the sole exception of shooting a breaker box to lift a lockdown at the very end of the final chapter) This feels weird since a lot of the electronic puzzles from Chapter 1 would have been PERFECT for Chapter 2.

I absolutely LOVE the little info kiosks talking about the design process of each area, SCP interactions, and even future development plans. The smallest thing that has bugged me was that you can't read the first one because you have a death statue coming from behind you if you were to stand in front of it to read it. It's such a shame too since you're given a break from dealing with it right after too!

Oh and during Chapter 3, you have to get into a firefight at sniper range with MTF soldiers. You're given shotguns if you die, in the respawn room, and littered about. You either get instantly killed or fight, at sniper range, with a shotgun or pistol.

I enjoy playing this one, fun gameplay, different modes and maps, fun community. Its lacking in content at the moment being in early access, but its being worked on with more planned content in the near future. looking forward to the future of this game, looking solid though.

Not a bad game if you are a SCP fan, it's worth checking out if you enjoy things like horror and first person shooters.
It's got some good tactical gameplay which i am a slut for.
The big downer is that this game is Still a work in progress :( hope to see it get finished before i die of old age lol.
