SCP: 5K Reviews

Amazing game, really captures what you imagine when reading the SCP-5000 wiki article, It provides difficulty and simplicity balancing the two in one of the best first person shooter horrors out there!

Overall i think SCP 5k is good but it has some very major issues, its very open about being in alpha and im very hopeful for its future so if you can accept that the game is still in alpha and there will be issues, its worth the $20 Pros: Gun play feels very nice but if tad sluggish sometimes Visuals are very nice and the models look amazing story is intriguing but not too complex to follow while playing Cons: Major thing you will see a lot of people say is the game seems to want to be a few things. Horror puzzle story driven tactical shooter team co-op wave based game. They all seem to change out randomly and i feel that the best horror section is at the start of the FBI story when you have to deal with [spoiler]scp-173[/spoiler]. I think its they way the area is set up as the next time you encounter them, you are in a very open space. As for the other monsters... the moment you get a big gun you become the monster. A number of game braking bugs, its not a matter of if you will encounter them but rather when. Every menu is clunky and you need to press esc every time you click so your cursor won't disappear. Check points don't seem to work so if you die you are sent back to level start NVG's look great but are useless. you cant aim while using them, they give the same level of light as a flash light but in less detail, almost no areas are dark enough to bother using them, and they have almost no range. this also makes any IR lasers useless. Gun flashlights are useless as you have a helmet light Revolvers cant round reload so if you reload after shooting once, you waste the entire cylinder and you dont have moon clips or speed loaders so every time you reload it takes a good 6-7 seconds This could just be my GPU as im on a gtx 2060 but i notice a lot of ghosting The procedural animations look very goofy such as doing a michael jackson lean with only your legs, arms flailing about, arms phasing into body etc. I understand this is to help the dev team as animations are time consuming but the system needs some tweaking to make it look less silly. My friends and I may just be idiots but we got lost a few time during puzzles and needed to consult a guide. Movement feels sluggish, I get they are going for realism but realistically id know im about to start walking and not have to accelerate like a steam engine. If you play with friends you will bump into and block each other all the time. This on its own is not a big deal but with the sluggish movement, it compounds into being annoying.

More of a neutral rating. Got it to play with friends...take a wild guess how many times we played it.

I love it, just a great game that needs more content but so far everything in it is great maybe even perfect the mix between milsim and horror makes for a great experience where you always feels powerless and scrap for solution to overcome the challenges. I think this game, while lacking content ATM, will deliver a great experience to any fan of milsim that is looking for soemthing a bit spooky but also this game is an absolute blast if you like the SCP universe.

the game is pretty decent, despite slow development, i have high hopes, my only problem is some of the diversity of the levels where it feels more like bland zombie wave defense, i think for shit like the hollow men level they have promise

Can't recommend this game... but it has HUGE potential. Good: - Creepy atmosphere - Feeling scary Bad: - Half the levels are so bad they're not worth playing. Level 3 was so bad we just skipped it because it's just too annoying. Level 4 you don't respawn so that sucks to play with friends. Basically only the first mission or two are fun, my friends an I hate the rest. - DLSS gets broken the second you open the menu. To get it back working you have to go back 1-2 times to break it into working. - Performance is actually pretty bad considering the graphics. Really had to tweak the settings. You can't use DLSS or any upscaler because (like in all FPS games) it makes the game feel laggy and sluggish, which makes the higher FPS irrelevant. Bottom Line: this game has HUGE potential. But in it's current state and where it's going with the monsters on those really lame levels, no I can't recommend it. If this game was just the first level it would be good.

Been with this game since its release on steam and would recommend it! We have had some rough times and stuff breaking constantly and I couldn't bring myself to give a bad review at the time because I really wanted to love the game and even with all the issues it was still super fun to play with friends not so much solo, but now it is in a really good place to play solo its a little challenging but if you have a friend or a couple buddies to run through with it is a TON of fun! me and my duo went through taking our time trying guns and playing with the enemies and I have to say it was a BLAST! I would definitely recommend for a fun tactical horror shooter.

Pretty fun game, although it could use a bit of polishing in some spots. Then again, this is still in its Alpha phase, so this is likely to be changed sometime in the future. Good customization options for the firearms, though I wish the character customization was a bit more extensive. The gunplay is smooth, the voicechat makes coordination easier, although the levels could use a bit of refining in terms of design. Although, I did enjoy the Arctic mission, though I won't be giving any exact details to avoid spoilers. Overall, I found this game quite fun to play with people, and I'm interested to see what the devs have cooking in the developent kitchen. Best of luck to the development team!

I really can’t recommend it in its current state. The devs seem to focus on all the wrong stuff, like weapon cosmetics and multiplayer modes, instead of fixing the actual game. They should be working on the missions and improving the pathfinding. Half the time it’s super confusing to figure out where to go, because everything looks the same.

in the current state of development I cant recommend, The devs don't seem to know where they are going with their game. its more prevalent now that they announced a new game mode while so many are already unfinished. while there is some solid tactical gun play, voice acting and environments in the small amount of campaign missions the devs seem focused on other things rather than building on the solid foundation they had. The very first mission was extremely fun and creepy. The introduction to SCP-173 was well thought out and like nothing we've seen before in a SCP game but the game falls off really hard right after that first mission. It quickly turns into a COD zombies easter egg experience disguised as SCP. The enemies have no soul to them, no character, you don't feel like you're up against SCP's youre just running through a map mag dumping these creatures you're supposed to be afraid of or feel like they're actually dangerous, or you're playing red light green light while collecting keys. the npc enemies are the exact same, no soul just half baked bots walking around hip-firing just there for you to have something to shoot at. the issues continue in the other game modes as well, npc wave survival and PVP modes in maps that are untextured orange buildings with invisible walls. They have just announced ANOTHER game mode thats entirely different in the style of Outlast trials or squid game. Its feels like they're are just chasing whatever is trending at the moment and have no real idea of where they want their game to go so it all feels really soulless. the description on the store page for this game does not reflect the majority of actual gameplay. its an uninspired GMOD project with an SCP name.
