What drives the score
How to read this
Grades run S to D, read from the buyer's side. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work
The value story
The lowest price on record is $13.99, set in June 2023. Its cuts run 20 percent off as a rule. There have been 33 in the 5 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart.
It is pricier than 71 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, GROUND BRANCH ($29.99, scores 39) beats it on value, while it beats Takedown: Red Sabre ($4.99, scores 0).
Players rate it 79 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 67 percent. Something recent has soured the room. Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 28 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written July 2025 to September 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,071 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 134 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 56 percent of the 2,033 reviews written there were positive, against 79 percent overall, and those are 16 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (unlock); the score docks it lightly for that.

What players say
Great SCP game, gunplay is satisfying, content has been a bit slow but i'm very exited for 1.0 to release. graphics and performance are OUTSTANDING
The game is fun, the guns are really well implemented. Most of AI enemies are not really interesting but developers have already said they're working on remaking those
Not friendly at all for single players. Many of the maps have extremely large areas that become a slog to explore when it just one person trying to figure out what to do, difficulty is not customizable, and the lack of ammo given on respawn in some places can damn-near soft lock you. I haven't been able to get through a single mission and I've found online that many other people trying to play solo have the same...
