  • gameplay
    28 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Gameplay reviews highlight a mix of creativity and frustration; while the game features clever mechanics, pop culture references, and enjoyable co-op elements, it suffers from significant design flaws such as poor performance, repetitive content, and punishing gameplay decisions. Players appreciate the fun factor, especially in multiplayer settings, but many express disappointment over lag issues and lack of guidance, leading to a divided reception overall.

    • “It also contains multiple pop culture and SCP references, boss encounters to further increase the variety, and a lot of genuinely clever and creative ways to apply the game's seemingly simple mechanics.”
    • “5 bucks, the dev is a genius, fun co-op gameplay, great game all around.”
    • “Builds upon the gameplay loop of Exit 8 while integrating a lot of other horror movie/game references, along with some fourth-wall breaking moments that felt really comical with friends.”
    • “The game repeatedly makes bad gameplay design decisions, including insta-kill punishments without warning, locking achievements behind arbitrary lower difficulty runs if you played through on a higher difficulty, and requiring multiple playthroughs of identical content in order to see everything the game has to offer. Additionally, there are major issues with performance on 'boss' levels, poorly executed character models for both players and NPCs, and a badly explained initial premise with vague progression requirements.”
    • “This game has terrible gameplay, terrible performance optimizations, and terrible guidance. It's too boring and repetitive, with too many lag issues and a terrible multiplayer experience (dropped packets). I don't see why this game has 'mostly positive' reviews when it is a hot mess.”
    • “This game has random massive lag moments, tons of crashes, and repetitive gameplay. Don't even bother.”
  • graphics
    24 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in the game have received mixed feedback, with some players praising the creativity and solid visuals, rating them an 8/10. However, many users report significant performance issues, particularly on lower-end systems, leading to lag and glitches that can hinder gameplay, especially during boss fights. Overall, while the graphics can be engaging, they may not perform well on less powerful hardware, necessitating adjustments to settings for a smoother experience.

    • “The graphics are solid, scoring an 8/10, and the creativity and anomalies within the game add an intriguing layer that keeps you engaged.”
    • “So many creative anomalies here and realistic graphics, and great to play with others.”
    • “Graphics: 8/10”
    • “I experienced a couple of glitches, such as getting stuck in the floor when re-joining the game, and having trouble loading boss fights due to my laptop's low graphics abilities - making the boss fights essentially unplayable for me.”
    • “My PC is not the greatest but very decent on games with better graphics, but this game almost broke it even on medium.”
    • “Note: I'm playing on an HP Pavilion 15 laptop with the AMD Ryzen 5 and Radeon Vega 8 graphics, just to give you an idea of what led to my graphics issues - and I played on the lowest possible settings.”
  • humor
    22 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is widely praised, with players enjoying a mix of funny and creepy anomalies that enhance the experience, especially when played with friends. Many reviewers highlight the game's attention to detail and the comedic elements that arise during tense moments, making it a fun choice for live streaming and group play. Overall, the humor contributes significantly to the game's entertainment value, keeping players engaged and laughing throughout their sessions.

    • “There was a lot of different anomalies, some funny ones and lots of creepy ones!”
    • “Some things that can kill you are really, really funny. I love it so much!”
    • “All the little funny attention to detail!”
  • optimization
    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization has been widely criticized, with players reporting severe performance issues, including lag, dropped packets in multiplayer, and poor execution of character models. Many users also noted frustrating gameplay design choices that exacerbate these optimization problems, such as insta-kill mechanics and vague progression requirements. While some players found the game manageable on medium settings, the overall consensus is that significant optimization improvements are needed.

    • “Optimization got released pretty quick, and even before the update I didn't have any trouble running the game on medium.”
    • “I will definitely be checking out School 666, but have my fingers crossed for better optimization.”
    • “I really liked this game, but there are some hefty optimization issues.”
    • “Bought it for the Steam Deck, but the optimization was horrible.”
    • “The optimization of the game is problematic, with numerous severe bugs.”
  • stability
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is a significant concern, with players reporting numerous bugs and glitches even eight months post-release, which detracts from the overall experience. While some find the game enjoyable and fun, the persistent issues, such as getting stuck or problems with multiplayer, suggest that it may be best to wait for further development and fixes before purchasing. Overall, the game is described as "goofy and buggy," making it more suitable for casual play rather than a polished experience.

    • “I would suggest it to other players perhaps later on in development as right now this game in particular is very buggy and the sheer severity of some of these bugs that are still occurring almost 8 months after release kind of makes me ask why we are being charged to play it if it isn't even being bug fixed or improved after so many people in the reviews have asked for bare minimum things to be added.”
    • “I experienced a couple of glitches, such as getting stuck in the floor when re-joining the game, and having trouble loading 'boss fights' due to my laptop's low graphics abilities - making the boss fights essentially unplayable for me.”
    • “It's more or less a one-off game, buy when on sale (it's also pretty buggy).”
  • grinding
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious, particularly due to the need to replay levels multiple times for achievements and the frustration caused by bugs that lead to lost progress. While the game offers fun moments, the repetitive nature of grinding and the impact of glitches detract from the overall enjoyment.

    • “The ability to do something when we get shut out of the elevator during that interaction, having to restart and lose all progress because someone glitched through the elevator door as it closed is tedious, irritating, and is what made us quit playing at the end of our session.”
    • “We appreciate the laughs this game brought us, but the sheer tediousness of bugs and having to restart endlessly did kind of make this hard to enjoy fully.”
    • “Pretty fun, but my only complaint is that higher difficulties don't unlock in multiplayer, so you have to redo the game a bunch of times for the achievements, which is tedious as hell.”
  • story
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the game is intriguing and has sparked creativity among players, leading them to create their own backstories. However, there is a desire for a more developed narrative to enhance the experience within this genre.

    • “It fuzzled my brain, and my friend and I made up a backstory, so it was amazing!”
    • “I'd still like more of a story for this genre of game.”
  • atmosphere
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Both Exit 8 and its prequel, Platform 8, are praised for their ability to create and immerse players in a compelling atmosphere, enhancing the overall gaming experience.

    • “Exit 8, and its prequel, Platform 8, are both great experiences because they build an atmosphere and then settle into it to make the most of it.”
