SCP: 5K

3 years and this game is still early access? Its weird to me but I guess I don't know anything about game development so I cant say much. The game play on the other hand is amazing. Fast paced. Pretty scary but I feel more action and less horror like SCP is known for. Even with that though it is still an AMAZING game. 10/10 would buy again and do recommend.

gunplay and atmosphere is awesome. Gets better with each addition of more content.

If u love First Person Horror, and love gunplay AND scp!
Get this game, even in its current state its super polished

Really fun when you're in a group and everyone really gets into it, but occasionally glitchy in wave survival.

game has been super fun i enjoy it and the guns work really well n stuff

THIS GAME IS GREAT AND GETS BETTER WITH UPDATES, also why do you smell like beans?

Unfinished story and confusing singleplayer progression makes me wish I never spent my hard earned money on this game. Not only that but it has that Unity Engine JANK that so many low-budget games have (think Drug Dealer simulator or something).

I think it's really not worth your money as you'll have to watch youtube videos to find out how to progress through the game, which spoils all the fun and spookiness the game has.

SAVE YOUR MONEY!! Don't waste your time with this crap.

Dont use DX12, use DX11 to have a much more stable game experience

First thirty minutes if gameplay I glitched outside of the map twice, and got stuck on the menu.

The graphics on this game are next level. Loved the first mission they had when this game released but its been almost 3 years since then and we just now finally got a second mission.. Fun game but if you don't have friends to play with its meh. You can PvP but on a huge map with 12 second re spawn timers.. Just does not seem worth to buy at this time you wont get much playtime once you beat the first two missions. It does have a Wave Survival mode but that gets very boring quick.

Overall a pretty solid experience but needs quite a bit of polish and a better experience for singleplayer

> such as AI teammates or some fine tuning of enemy attacks/pattern of attacks and such to make it possible to evade the big guys or hordes otherwise it is much less enjoyable and can become frustrating quick.

The enemy soldier AI is pretty dumb yet impressive at the same time. They can suppress you and the general area where they think you are and will move together to clear areas. But they will also run into your gunfire and not seek proper cover if unsure where their friend got shot from.
They will engage hostiles in the area which can be used to win the upper hand in some situations. SCPs are not all friendly to one another either, so have fun.

> Enemies will spawn behind you when certain triggers are tripped which is horrible design because a lot of time it wont be clear where they may come from because the sounddesign while nice does not seem to be binaural. Could be a good idea to make that work. I have player binaural games before with and without headphones and never had problems telling where noises came from. Would be cool to make that part of the game better.

> The game could run quite a bit better, there is of course the horrible Unreal stutter when the game loads an area but there is also a weird stutter that happens with bloodsplatters when shooting an enemy which makes the game unplayable without DLSS on. I hope to see all of this fixed during the Alphas progress.

> The SCPs are amazingly done and as mentioned above could only use a glowup on their reach/attackpatterns and maybe even damage dealt as it only takes three hits for them to kill you and there can be a lot of creatures going around.

Creatures react to noises but are a little bit to allknowing in terms of where the player is, when I go into an area and there is a big door that I open from a spot further away, maybe even up, how do enemies instantly know I am up there when I push the button? That is annyoing I hope to see this fixed. Into the frustration also plays the fact that I mentioned above that enemies will spawn behind you after certain actions are taken. Please finetune this.

> There sometimes may be bugs that stop you from progressing like in prison with the elevator not being at the end. Kinda weird but after restart and redoing the whole section it worked for me.

> Something which also is frustrating is the respawn system (there is a limited number of lifes) which will give you a gun and only maybe a sidearm. This can be really annoying considering the amount of enemies you may be facing. The guns are also "naked" so no scope for you while enemies spawned at longrange are shooting at you. Frustrating.

> The weapons are amazing, they feel like real and are animated perfectly. You can also put stuff on them like lasers, flashlights, grips, scope, a secondary scope and switch between them!!!!!, sadly no bigger mags. There need to be more shotguns thou, only have seen one and I am on the newest content.

> Some areas are hard to navigate and it would be nice to get some small pointers after having found hints or having visited the area before, what I mean is after I walked past an elevator/door I need later I would get a pointer to it after I found the powerswitch and a note that says that they wanted to attempt to flee through there. Therefore it would make sense to know the location. I hate running in circles because I missed small entrances or climbable object. At least so far there have been no waves of enemies spawning on me, there is a gamemode for that, lol.


This game is good but could be better, keep an eye out for more updates! It is still in Alpha so I hope to see more coming!

game crashes after ending cutscene, peak timing, 10/10 would kill scps again

This game needs wayyy more time in the oven, the gun play is solid but the bugs....man. Constant crashing on both dx11 and dx12, clipping through the world, the worst part is when one of these things happen and you haven't hit a check point? Welp its time to do that mission from the beginning. Been trying to play the Antarctica map for 2 days now, its f-ing absurd how many times we have played the research labs. It's best to wait this one out.

This game is so much fun, some bugs but it'll probably get sorted out in the future!

good with bugs

After a few updates, this game is starting to blossom to success. Very good

Really fun with friends and highly underrated game, looking forward to updates and new missions =D

Graphics and gameplay are great. Ai for the monsters and soldiers can be glitched at times but it doesnt detract much at all from the experience. (little bit of glitches here and there- falling through the map, reload animation doesnt display properly, but the manner in which they occur are infrequent and mininal) Definitely recommend for a game you want to play with your friends. Cant wait to see whats next. The detail in the map design is great. Keep up the good work devs.

fun game everything looks and sounds nice but alot of bugs and 2 of the missions are the best the 2,3 fbi ones

games gas but it runs like shit and bugs are one too many

Severe lack of checkpoints that makes the singleplayer experience dreary especially when progress is lost because of a crash. However a cool game that I want to see succeed.

Playing with friends is really nice and doesnt really makes you scared, but playing alone is a real challenge. Love gunplay and sound in the game, hope to see it grow

this game is really fun with alot of people and the gunplay is top tier ignore the people yapping about the bugs and crashes its in early access but i never get that much crashes only 2 so far i really enjoy this game alot it was i was looking for i cant wait to see this game fully done i love the sound effects and the proximity chat makes it more realistic and immersive and the guns and loadouts are really nice i always use a red dot because it looks good with 8 players all with laser sights i love the antarctica campaign its based off of john carpenters the thing as im a huge fan of so i had to buy this game

This game is actually really really fun, although I feel like the objectives on some of the missions could be made a bit clear, but I haven’t played in a while so maybe they fixed it?

Some of the best and most satisfying gunplay I have ever seen. Very good atmosphere and environment design. Fits the whole theme and vibe of SCP and the game's story excellently. What is on offer here is very early stages that's for sure and very much incomplete. But what is here is well made. The future of the game looks promising, well worth picking it up. Expect some bugs.

Would recommend heavily if you like games like "GTFO" or "Ready or Not".

The game has come a long way since release into alpha, especially in the last year.

As far as the singleplayer vs. multiplayer aspects go. While there is no dedicated solo-mode, Ive completed the entire campaign as a solo and I loved it. There obviously moments where I was frustrated, but I love all the puzzle-solving aspects of the game.

(Also, to those complaining about softlocking or crashing, try launching on DX11 not DX12, that fixed any issues for me)

great shooting mechanics and the horror is well done! Every update has been an improvement to the last, and I can't wait for more!

So SCP 5K! It's a good game overall tho it's early access so it feels a lil lax on content at times and there's a few bugs The ones I've noticed mostly have to do with the guns where sometimes they simply won't shoot unless you do a brasscheck animation, or sometimes you'll shoot two shots right after reloading and then suddenly all the ammo in the mag is gone but aside from that the game is extremely well made! Weapon Customization is amazing especially since we can use canted sights! that's so uncommon in games! there's also the horror aspect which is very well done and has spooked me more than a few times! (They did an extremely good job with the Ghosts of the south gate mission too)

scp: 5k just dropped update 0.16, and even though it's still in alpha, it's really starting to come together. that signature scp horror vibe is still there (which as a fan of terror, horror, and gore i respect), but now with a revamped antarctica mission. the update brings a new storyline that's actually good, not "written by an ai on ketamine" good. plus new enemies, including scp-610, aka the forbidden lasagna that makes you reconsider having eyes.

the good stuff
got the game after watching my friend stream it. no regrets. already put in 5 hours and beat the whole thing (and beat the game with him today, was fun as hell) since it's pretty short for now. weapons are solid and guns sound like actual firearms instead of someone whispering "pew pew" into a tin can. everything's customizable enough to make your gun look like it belongs in either a tactical shooter or a fever dream. the ai actually feels threatening now, and they've made major improvements to how the game feels overall.

the jank factor
still, let's not pretend it's polished. my friend literally ascended to godhood after climbing a short glass wall, straight into the stratosphere like he was auditioning for the space force. turned that shit into a meme faster than speedrunners find glitches. the physics engine runs on dream logic. doors sometimes identify as walls, textures occasionally look like they were rendered on a calculator, but honestly? that's the kind of jank i live for.

bottom line
the devs have cooked harder than gordon ramsay. updates are dropping faster than crypto values during a tweet storm. for all those leaving negative reviews. It literally says "alpha testing" if you can handle some bugs and jank, this game is definitely worth the wait. the foundation is solid (pun intended), and it's only going to get better from here.

amazing game new update is incredible, fun to play with friends and definitely required. Good story line and incredible gameplay/Graphics

Great game the devs are doing a great job making the game lore accurate while keeping the visuals unique and not just making it a copy paste scp shooter. The levels they've updated so far are incredibly interactive and engaging and i look forward to the full release of the game.

too many bugs that get in the way go up a ladder wrong now you have to reset walk to close to a work light have to reset because now you you are stuck in place now items or keys or codes or tools not spawning in you have to reset all those youtubers players playing the game and not one world about the mes that this game this game is

Been playing this game since 2023, I loved it back then and it keeps getting better with every update. New content and bug fixes are constantly being added to the game. The gun play feels amazing, I can't find another game quite like it. It's still an alpha and it needs work, but the atmosphere of that game will get your adrenaline going and your heart pounding. Especially with friends. I've convinced all of my friends to play this game, and we've played every level multiple times as soon as they get released.

Goddamn this game, every update i wait for the game's stuttering and bugginess to be fixed but no, its the same as always. The new update and map is barely playable with friends or solo with no prompts showing up sometimes and things being glitched out constantly, and whose idea was it to not add any checkpoints to an hour long plus mission. Please optimize and fix this buggy mess of a game Affray Interactive before adding any new content cause it doesn't matter if I cant play the bloody game.

This badly needs more polishing of its core mechanics before it is worth playing. Gun play is okay, but gun and ammo management is an absolute mess that desperately needs some fixing. People will also tell you this can be played solo, and while that is technically true, it is not an enjoyable experience. If you don't have 2-3 friends who want to go through this thing with you, skip it.

Great early-access game with very nice environmental storytelling and immersive atmosphere. Gunplay and customization is decent and graphics are solid. There are quite a few bugs and is still lacking in content but that’s expected of a game in early-access. Definitely recommend if you are into tactical horror fps type games or SCP and the devs do listen to the community and seem to be pretty passionate about their work.

Definitely can tell it needs work but as FPS games go, this is one of the best I've ever played. Weapon handling of each hits the sweet spot between real and just flat out cool af. The puzzle solving is top notch and all while maintaining an atmosphere that's pretty damn terrifying. Sucks it isn't crossplatform.

a game that actually explores less known SCPs in a really good format, and also happens to have one of the best gunplays i've seen in a while. lots of bugs in more recent missions but i suppose that's to be expected so early in development.

It is fun but there are still bugs but not game braking bugs

Very good gunplay and suprisingly few bugs
Very well made game excited for it to be fully released

As of right now, the game is in an enjoyable state. if you like slightly more gritty shooters like tarkov, ready or not, or arma while having a nicer focus on story related content I think you will like the game. It has a medium sized arsenal to pick from but can very easily expand as the game gets more updates. and while the missions are few, they are mean't to be a longer thing kinda 1-2 hours, at least the first one and they are clearly focusing on depth of a mission rather than many missions.

As of right now it's not finished but still moving along at a decent pace. so buy the game at your discretion. It is at the very least worth following the game to double check if it's closer to it's release or not. It is supposed to take place in the SCP universe (I know it's in the name) but seems to be taking it's own trajectory on scp 5000 and the concept behind it rather than said story, that being if the foundation were the bad guys.

I absolutely love this game, its an alpha but it has so much potential. i love the puzzles, the combat and the different entities. play with friends it gets even better, i've been with this game for a while and i am impressed, keep up the good work.

adding content without fixing any game issues or bugs that have been present for over a year. have to actively fight to get my friends and I in a lobby without a bug preventing us or someone crashing. (we all have high end gaming PCs and can play any other game without issue)

Also fuck those red skulls with the tentacles at the arctic base. (forget the name of the mission)

fix the game, content later, fix now, <3

kind of spoilers -

Just played the Ghosts of the South Gate update with a friend. when you play through it and realise what SCP you're up against, you know everything is fucked and its just keeps getting worse. The Devs did a fantastic job of putting you in the belly of the beast. Every room is beautiful and horrifyingly disgusting. They really put a lot of love into this. This is exactly what I want to see from this SCP in particular. Also having the option to choose your own load-out and attachments is fantastic, it will never not be cool to start with lasers, scopes and silencers, it does so much for immersion. well done Dev team, solid 9/10, amazing work on the art and level design.

The only thing I would change is to make some of the objectives a little bit more obvious, EG: placing the weapon in the tower. A marker or something to show you specifically where the interaction area is or have the objective state 'place X on the floor in the tower' would have made it a little smoother, but its not a dramatic problem by any means, my friend and I might just IGN level stupid, we still got through it just fine with very little trial and error.

TLDR: looks stunning, feels great, if you like SCP and can play co-op absolutely.

This game is amazing for being only 20 something bucks. graphics, gameplay, sounds... its amazing and scary. i definitely recommend if you are looking for a good horror-shooter.

great game cant wait to see what else they have in store for it! highly recomend if you like the scp universe!

It's a fun game but it needs some work. Obviously since its alpha it has a few bugs such as hostiles not spawning in big waves during the GOC Mission, weapon loadouts / flashlight being disconnected from the gun, player model issues, and other bugs with the maps. But overall it's a fun experience so far and feels like a good mix of ready or not with the SCP universe. I would like to see a better navigation system in the future as Chapter 2 is just too big and very hard to get around without going in circles. But id imagine this can be fixed once its in beta and more the game has been developed.

Really fun, funny and thrilling experience with friends. Campaign was awesome and we had a blast playing it, and the pvp mode is pretty interesting as well. However, after the campaign is done, there isn't much content after that. This game just needs more campaigns or a campaign extension though because after you finish the campaign there isn't much content after that. Also, FOR THE DEVS, please try and make the next campaigns (if these are being added, please add them) more focused around maybe containing the entities? Or trying to eliminate them, or add some more UNIQUE scps (not groups of scps like zombies). I mean yeah there were dogs and zombies but that was basically it. The rest of the enemies were either MTF or D-class shooting you. Sure peanut was in the game and was a pretty scary threat but after the first section he leaves for the majority of the game, and I feel like hes the only prominent "SCP" there. The other scps are just simple fillers, dogs, zombies, chickens, etc. Anyways, this game is awesome but could do with more campaigns and more unique SCPS. For now me and my buddies shall wait on an update for this game and maybe a new campaign/continuation of it :)))))))

i just saw this today and remember playing the free like first release of the game and being scared shitless, next paycheck imma get it and pussy out and probabaly uninstall it

So far i am enjoying it even if it doesn't have a lot of content. My Friends & I end up re-downloading it every time new content is added and i hope they continue to develop it as it has the potential to become a really good game!
