Some of the puzzles were pretty cool, I enjoyed the safe puzzle and a few others, but a majority of them kinda just sucked complete and utter ass. As people have pointed out in other reviews, the maze puzzle sucks and, in my opinion, the water navigation section sucks as well. I think that the monsters can be extremely unfair at times, I even had SCP-087-B spawn ONTOP of me which killed me instantly.

The atmosphere is ruined if you're in multiplayer, as the only spooks that are left are the death animation/screens or just seeing one of the monsters out of the corner of your eye and it chasing you. All the monsters mostly do the same thing, run up to you and hit you, with the only feedback being the red vignette around your screen, not even any screen shake or anything which makes it feel like it has no impact and never gave me any sense or urgency like how a game like Outlast does. Another thing that contributes to this is...

THE SPRINTING IS TERRIBLE, you can only sprint for 3 seconds before being limited to walking for 5 seconds until your bar nearly fills up again. The sprinting is too fast, causing me to pretty much ignore all that's around me, which isn't really what you want for a horror game because I can't take in the spooky atmosphere that you're trying to create. Plus the bar drains way too fast and the wait for it to recharge is quite annoying since often you'll find yourself looking at the enemy that's slapping you, which honestly removes all urgency because there's nothing you can do but back pedal and hope to break line of sight.

The AI is... bad as well, the main issue with them is that they can spot you from miles away and b-line directly to you unless it's SCP-087-B, aka the Smilers, in which case they'll just spawn right around a corner and instantly kill you when you go anywhere near them, how fun (:

Over all, for the money, I'd say buy Metal Gear Survive, you'll probably get more hours out of it for around the same price if you buy it on a key reseller website. Or even get Gmod where you can pretty much tailor make your very own backrooms experience. Until the dev fixes these very glaring issues, I'm not gonna recommend that people play this.

This game is fun with friends for an hour until you're all stuck in a loop of dying due to game ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. If that's worth $5, then I 'unno what to tell you. This game has been a laugh at the best of times, the worst? Incredibly aggravating due to the multitude of issues that this game has (not being able to find your doors, instant death upon respawning due to Smilers, only telling us after navigating the water that we needed to complete the worst puzzle in the game, etc).

Don't buy this until the developer fixes the issues.
