Buy it because it's fantastic and because I want to give them another reason to remaster Dark Forces II

#FixTF2

greatest cliffhanger of all time, can't wait for Valve to take another 14 years to make the next game

It's Half-Life 2.

This is probably one of my favourite games from one of my favourite game companies. No, it's not perfect. Yes, it still has issues that have persisted for the 5 years since it's launch, but at it's core, it is one of the most addicting and replayable video games that I have experienced, and I personally think that it does live up to Rare's reputation, and I haven't even interacted with a lot of the game yet (not Athena yet, haven't done a single Tall Tale). Despite this, I find myself constantly coming back again and again, and every single time I am just fully immersed.

This is not a glowing review of Escape the Backrooms.

Me and my friends were super excited to play this and... damn. We can't even get past Level 1 because whenever we respawn at the checkpoint, the storage room only has Almond Water and no Flashlights and in a Level based around tight corners and darkness it makes the level near impossible. This is also considering the fact that skin stealers don't make any sound until you're precisely 2 feet away from them so by the time you need to run, you're already dead. Skin stealers are also one shot kill so there is actually no opportunity to run and even if you get the chance to, your friends body block the doors because only one person can go in at a time. I understand that the people developing this game consists of a single man, and that's the main reason as to why this review isn't me just randomly ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on this game, because it won't help make it any better, but there is some very blatant issues that should be fixed. I can't even speak on the majority of the game because I can't get past the second area. This game has potential, I hope it gets better, and I'm sure in the coming days me and my friends will try this again and we'll get past, and in the event that happens I will update this review so it more accurately reflects what I like and don't like about the whole game, I just don't know when that will happen.

EDIT: so me and my friends beat Level 1, and we ended up making it to the level with the breakers and the hounds. in between that was a section where you have to run between lights to evade Smilers, and I don't think that it was actually that bad, except for the fact going up the ramp is not the solution but they didn't put an invisible wall there so I was just wandering through the darkness blind for 10 minutes. Anyways, the level with the hounds is pretty good, the main problem we ran into was that one of my friends was doing one of the breakers when he got killed by a hound and then after that, none of us could go and do that breaker. So overall, I still don't like Level 1, we only got through it because one of us got lucky and then everyone else died. The tunnel level with the smiler is fine because it's only like 5 minutes long and the level with the hounds is fine except for that one glitch.

For a supposed "April Fools joke", this game manages to have more heart and soul than any of SEGA's more recent Sonic projects. I hope that the reception to this game and Mania will show SEGA that the fans know what the fans want, and no, this isn't an April Fools joke.

Game has been abandoned since October of last year with no mention of a possible comeback due to the devs working on Poppy's Playtime chapters. Really sad honestly, was essentially a cartoony, free version of Dead by Daylight, but since they removed the ability to make private servers with the most recent update, and since there is barely anyone playing the game anymore, there isn't really a point in trying.

IT'S THE MOST INNOVATIVE SHOOTER I'VE PLAYED IN YEARS
