  • Fun and enjoyable multiplayer experience, especially with friends.

  • Many technical issues including long loading times, frequent crashes, and server problems.
  • Gameplay is often confusing with unclear objectives, lack of direction, and some levels feeling boring or repetitive.

  • graphics

    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    36% positive mentions, 37% neutral mentions, 27% negative mentions

    The graphics are generally decent with some improved visuals using Unreal Engine 5, though they are not exceptional and sometimes criticized as subpar compared to previous versions. While the visuals are praised for polish and technical improvements, they do not compensate for gameplay and technical issues. Overall, the graphics are acceptable but not a standout feature.

    • “It's a bit shorter than the first one with fewer levels overall, but the graphics look the same or a bit better in most levels (except the pool rooms which were blinding) and the overall polish was improved from the first one.”
    • “Graphically, the game is fine.”
    • “The graphics aren’t amazing for a backrooms game, but it’s a blast with friends.”
    • “Honestly, reality had better graphics and actually worked; please do not play this game if you don't want to lose brain cells.”
    • “First game had much better graphics and gameplay; in this one, we can't jump or use items.”
    • “The visuals are just riding on Unreal Engine 5’s coattails, and that’s it.”

  • gameplay

    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    30% positive mentions, 40% neutral mentions, 30% negative mentions

    The gameplay is widely criticized for being janky, unengaging, and plagued by technical issues, with some users feeling there is little to no actual gameplay. Despite decent visuals, many find the mechanics frustrating, lacking key features like jumping or item use, and overall disappointing compared to previous installments.

    • “It does look really nice, but gameplay is more important than graphics in my opinion.”
    • “First game had much better graphics and gameplay; in this one, we can't jump or use items.”
    • “No gameplay, no atmosphere—just errors and disappointment.”
    • “Nice Unreal Engine visuals can’t save janky gameplay and technical issues.”
    • “First game had much better graphics and gameplay; in this one we can't jump or use items.”

  • stability

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game suffers from significant stability issues, including frequent bugs, difficulty starting matches, and occasional glitches during gameplay. Despite these problems, players still find enjoyment and hope for future improvements.

    • “Honestly a pretty rough and buggy game.”
    • “Buggy ass game, can't even start the game sometimes, and when it does you have to leave the game to start another one.”
    • “Other than that, game still buggy and broken but I enjoyed playing and hope to see it thrive for a free game.”

  • atmosphere

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    33% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 67% negative mentions

    The atmosphere in the game is largely criticized for being bland, empty, and lacking the tension and fear typical of the Backrooms genre, with many levels feeling uninspired and uneventful. However, some users did find certain early levels enjoyable and acknowledged moments of great atmosphere despite overall disappointment.

    • “It's pretty fun and has great atmosphere.”
    • “Most of the levels are bland, empty, and boring. You get chased by an entity that is not even a threat, or sometimes there is no entity at all. The game lacks the true backrooms atmosphere. Other free backrooms games have done this better with a real sense of fear and danger. Even the first few levels were rather terrible. What really ruined it for me was the roadway level, where you run slowly with no exit in sight, only to fall through the map. I saw a video of someone getting chased, but that never happened for me—just a balloon near the start.”
    • “No gameplay, no atmosphere—just errors and disappointment.”

  • optimization

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    67% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 33% negative mentions

    Users generally report smooth performance with minimal issues such as lag or freezing, even on older hardware, praising the developers for ongoing optimization efforts. However, some mention occasional problems with optimization and inaccessible links, indicating room for improvement. Overall, the game offers good performance given its free status and continual updates.

    • “Of course, it has some issues, but that's common in many games. The developer is actively working on them, unlike other developers who focus on cash grabs. This free game offers very good performance and nice graphics. While it could use more content, that's what updates are for.”
    • “Optimization is not working; the link cannot be accessed. I hope it will be optimized as soon as possible.”
    • “Optimization is not working, the link cannot be accessed. I hope it is optimized as soon as possible.”

    The game's monetization includes microtransactions but is generally well-received since it's a free-to-play title with good performance and graphics. Unlike typical cash-grab games, the developer actively addresses issues and provides updates to improve content.

  • replayability

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 100% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game's replayability is enhanced by the inclusion of modifiers, offering some variety for multiple playthroughs.
