  • Fun and entertaining multiplayer experience especially with friends.

  • Optimization issues causing severe lag, high CPU/GPU usage, and performance problems on many systems.
  • Numerous bugs including broken map generation, glitches, and problematic AI behaviors that impact gameplay.

  • optimization
    66 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game suffers from poor optimization, leading to frequent performance issues such as low FPS, lag, and high resource usage even on decent PCs. While some acknowledge it is still in early access and expect improvements, the current state causes significant gameplay disruption and frustration, particularly in multiplayer. Despite its potential and enjoyable gameplay, optimization remains a critical area needing urgent attention.

    • “Hella fun, but missing quite some functionalities and optimization is very decent.”
    • “It 100% still needs to be optimized and updated, but it does its job and it's fun.”
    • “Great game needs some work obviously since it's early access; from my experience, only truly needs some WIP relay fixes, not very optimized otherwise game runs pretty well surprisingly.”
    • “Really needs an optimization update. Even on the lowest possible graphics settings, I'm getting about 5 frames per second and can see only about 50 pixels on my entire screen. I get it's early access, but damn.”
    • “Textures are awful, models are super low quality, and it somehow manages to be so badly optimized that it basically obliterates your PC's frames/GPU worse than cryptojacking malware.”
    • “Playing with friends online doesn't work. Keeps loading, can't get past 'joining game,' and it eats your GPU and CPU like crazy. Don't recommend at this state of the game until they fix the optimization.”
  • stability
    56 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is widely criticized for severe stability issues, including frequent bugs, glitches, freezing, and poor multiplayer functionality, making it feel unfinished and often unplayable.

    • “Unfortunately, I cannot in good conscience recommend this game, as it is severely janky, buggy, and broken.”
    • “This game is so incredibly buggy its servers are horrendous and most of the SCP encounters haven't been changed to support multiplayer.”

  • graphics
    50 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in the game receive mixed feedback, ranging from praise for being an improvement over earlier titles and visually appealing to criticism for poor optimization, low quality, and outdated or glitchy visuals.

Overall, the graphics are seen as a work in progress needing optimization and improvement.

    • “Really needs an optimization update; even on the lowest possible graphics settings, I'm getting like 5 frames and can see a total of 50 pixels on my entire screen. I get it's early access, but damn.”
    • “As far as I can tell, this is just a really badly (graphics wise) optimized game.”
    • “You take everything good about SCP Secret Lab, strip that away, and add the bad graphics and usual unoptimized mess that Unity usually has, and try to add multiplayer. This is what you get. Would not recommend. 2/10.”
  • humor
    44 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game largely stems from playing with friends, where glitches, bugs, and low-quality graphics create a hilariously chaotic experience.
