- “The initial cutscene graphics are impressive and set a high standard for the game visuals.”
- “The graphics in the beginning segment are visually captivating, although they decline in quality later on.”
- “The graphics in the initial cutscene kind of get your hopes up, but the graphical quality drops afterwards.”
- “Even with a 4090, the graphics aren't great.”

The gameplay is plagued by frustrating design choices such as non-functional doors and misleading pathways, leading to wasted time and confusion. Additionally, performance issues like persistent lag severely hinder the overall experience.
- “There is a random Tesla gate in a hallway that leads one way to a door that simply doesn't work. Also, a random hallway inside the surveillance room, a notable spot in the map, leads to another door that doesn't work. These issues are a general annoyance and waste a fair bit of time during gameplay.”
- “The gameplay is horrendous as the game lags even on the lowest settings.”

The game suffers from poor optimization, resulting in performance issues and crashes even on high-end hardware like the RTX 3070. Additionally, some in-game mechanics and default controls are problematic, further impacting the overall experience.
- “My GPU is RTX 3070, so this is obviously poorly optimized.”
- “The game had horrible performance issues plus weird default keybinds that no other game uses. Despite that, I tried to progress but then the game crashed.”
- “The game has poor optimization; for example, I found a scope for a gun and couldn't use it, SCP 714 didn't do anything, and in rooms where you had to use a card (e.g., 3), there was the same or a worse card.”
stability

The game suffers from significant stability issues, including numerous bugs and clunky mechanics that hinder smooth progression. Players report frequent performance problems such as low FPS, even on low settings, and frustrating gameplay glitches that disrupt the experience.
- “Buggy and clunky, and progression is vastly different than SCP:CB leading me to wander around in an empty facility with SCP-650 constantly following me and getting in the way of me backpedaling from 173, and then getting trapped in the SCP:CB surveillance room which apparently was repurposed to be for warheads while 173 (now a huge obstacle) sat right in front of the door.”
- “Very buggy. 5 minutes in on low settings I still get low FPS.”
