Transliminal: Beyond The Backrooms Reviews

Currently best backrooms game since it has procedural generation. If you just want to get LOST in the backrooms, this is the perfect game. It's unclear how progression works and that only adds to the experience. Also the enemies don't seem too threatening but I haven't gotten far. I will say the frame rate dips often after the first room, but it isn't too bad. I have also been killed by things I haven't seen by jumping through the ceiling tiles (a very unexpected feature btw), but being sent back to the start doesn't feel like a failure. The lack of a death screen of any kind is perfect immersion. Great game, looking forward to more updates!

As many have said Transliminal is the best backrooms game on steam, it has a very interesting narrative along with various 'quest lines' so to speak. It's being constantly updated and contains a variety of levels / liminal spaces with insane procedural generation; the levels changing around you constantly as you traverse. Has the highest amount of replayability of any backrooms game I've played. Haven't messed around much with entities but they seem well implemented. There's also an optional survival mode if that suits your fancy. Note: This game is a solo experience if you're looking to mess around in coop this is not the game for that, still consider buying it though.

For the record, I've spent more time on this game offline than on, so the amount of experience I have with it won't be indicated by my account. That said, there are some glaring issues that need addressing in order for Transliminal to become the damn near-perfect backrooms game that it deserves to be. 1. The procedural generation, at times, relocates you to impassible areas (IE the cave rooms) which, unless you had poison, would be left stranded in. I'm assuming you could restart and it would take you somewhere near, but that shouldn't need to happen. 2. The frame rate is inconsistent and at times stuttering, even on a system that can more than handle the game (regardless of resolution setting). This is especially evident in the girder and pool rooms and seems to be due to poor optimization. More options to toggle the effects and post processing are needed. That said, I absolutely love the randomness and variety of the game play and for the most part enjoy this experience. It seems to be a labor of love, so I am definitely looking forward to improved versions of the game.
