"Be UIUseful, not UIUseless!" - Unusual Incidents Unit.

SCP: 5K (previously, SCP: Pandemic) is a tactical shooter, with an intended four player co-op mechanic but servers usually hold more than their fair share of people. This is a perfect blend between Ready or Not, GTFO, and SCP. You take on the role of organized governments during the SCP-5000 canon universe, where the SCP Foundation rather than protecting the world is aiming to subvert and eliminate those it had once sworn to protect.

The game is in early access, which can be a good or bad thing. There are known bugs, but this game is exactly what the SCPverse needed. It is solid, and with future updates this could be an impressive tactical shooter with horror elements that it is aiming out to be. The aesthetic of the game is awesome and immersive from both enviroment and the UI. At the moment, the game is stepping in the right direction with no pay to play model and a skill-based combat system that feels almost that of Insurgency: Sandstorm.

The community is very kind, and interacting with players on public server is like stepping back to the old day's of source TDM servers. There is a player-vs-player mode and a co-operative player vs environment mode where you and a tactical team are engaged with SCP Foundation personnel and anomalous entities inside of a site facility. If there are more maps like Area 12 to come, and more improvements to the sandbox and gun-play than this could easily become a replayable and enjoyable tactical shooter and find itself a niche among other horror shooter giants like S.T.A.L.K.E.R, Metro, or GTFO.

Nearly every aspect of this game has passion, the development team behind SCP: 5k clearly has a vision for the game and supporting it while it is in early access is both rewarding and promising as you know that the future updates to the game will be in alignment with what fans of the SCP Community can consider fitting. There is clear inspiration from tactical FPS's like Squad and Ready or Not, but it still retains the horror element that is to be expected within the SCP community.

The game is challenging in the best possible way and the gun mechanics feel very good. The gun diversity and modding system in its earliest form is still very expansive and the optics for weapons are tuned very well. SCP: 5k is an intense horror shooter, and it is absolutely worth checking out.

Decent.
