Backrooms Rec. Reviews

Pretty fucking good! Graphics are nice and the puzzles are pretty hard. Needs more levels!

Overall opinion on the game? VR: 1/5 stars if i could give it zero, i would. It is utterly unbearable to play in vr. controls are horrible and its so buggy launching and playing the game. Need i say more? PC: 3.5/5 game is fun enough. same graphics you get from every other backrooms game. Item mechanics are pretty cool with the nv camera and motion sensor, but the game needs work. considering it is in early access, ill give it the benefit of the doubt and wont refund the game, with hope they fix it (considering at the moment they have lots of updates) A message to the devs: Prioritize fixing the vr on the game or remove it. I purchased the game since it had vr support and was a cheap game. So if you could, for the home menu, do something like in bonelabs or in other games, and you could put the player in a dark room in the backrooms with an old 80's tv showing static. then have the static stop. show credits for a few seconds like "made with unreal engine" or whatever yall use. and then make the home menu on that tv. overall, rating 2.5/5 average. Worth a shot, but there are others that are better.

This game has potential I believe, but it does need some more work, such as, the monster in the first level sometimes get stuck on key areas so it makes it harder to progress, the water area needs few more of the monsters in that area or maybe have them kind of follow you until you scare it away, I only had like 3 encounters with them, the mannequins are ok but they need to be able to reset their position or something as they can block doors and another thing is that when you are playing with friends, they instakill you, not allowing revivals which is annoying. I like the carts, they were fun in that chase part, the suburbs area is a bit boring, maybe have the suburb area more of a square area rather than a straight line, another thing in the suburbs is that the mannequins can be invisible for some when with friends.

Beat this with a couple randoms, had a great time. Much better than many other of the backrooms games. Starts off a bit slow but it isn’t a pure walking simulator. Lots of cool setting like supermarket, suburbs, etc. really enjoyed the driving chase level. Some of the enemies are a bit glitchy, in the suburbs there was a monster we couldn’t see that kept killing us, eventually figured it out though. Will definitely play more of this if more levels are added

[Only got for VR] VR mode is a bit of a headache at the moment. Spent most of the time trying to get it to work. Once I did get to play, controls were a bit annoying and quite a shut off from the game. It has potential- but thats it right now. Probably will come back if they rework the VR system :/

If you are PC only player it is good and recommended, I only purchased for VR and review is based off that. rework the VR system, add better settings like joystick swap as im not sure why right stick is default for movement. hopefully VR can be put into multiplayer in the future and have more fluid movement, you can reach out to a whole new player base and double/triple player count if done right. look at phasmo for example, integrate vr/pc flatscreen crossplay.

It's weird that the game is putting my 4090 at 100% usage. Yeah, it has good graphics and the gameplay is fine, but I'm not sure if it's a Bitcoin miner, so it's negative for now. Update: Its not an Miner. Give much Love to the Dev because he cares about the Game <3

Surprisingly good, with some really nice elements I didn't see in other Backrooms games! Plus, you can play with up to 6 players, which kinda puts this game on top of the list if you somehow end up with more than "just" 3 friends. The maps feature distinct areas ranging from tiled underground sections, the "standard" backrooms, to "little" suburbia, so I don't feel as lost as in other similar titles. Really hope there is more to come.

I just played Backrooms Rec. in VR yesterday, and it was awesome, I hope the Dev puts the whole game into VR, with the workshops, with better motion controller support, and adds full body instead of just seeing your controllers, if not full body, at least arms and hands to create better immersion.

Best backrooms game I've played. Dev updates and improves game regularly too.
