The verdict
A huge handcrafted Half-Life-meets-SCP survival crafter with great level design and co-op, but the late game drags. Skip it if you hate backtracking, grinding or bullet-sponge enemies.
Great for
Co-op groups and Half-Life/SCP fans who enjoy exploring a huge handcrafted facility
Main risk
After the midgame (Reactors onward) it becomes tedious grinding, backtracking and bullet-sponge enemies
