What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
The Backrooms: Anomaly Containment Unit captures the atmospheric appeal of the backrooms setting with fluid walking controls and a tense sense of being hunted, but suffers from repetitive gameplay that boils down to finding an entity and returning to the start repeatedly. Players consistently criticize the limited content, overly zoomed-in camera that hinders navigation, poor sprint mechanics that cause frustrating deaths, and difficulty spikes that make early levels punishing rather than engaging.
This game could have been good. I had fun for the first 30 mins, but unfortunately it is insanely repetitive. Just find the entity and run back to the start, that's it. It did give me a feel of being in a backroom, which was nice. The walking controls felt nice and fluid. However, for a game that claims to have tight controls, the sprinting was just bad, it felt like running on ice. A slight tap of the sprint button sent me flying over the edge, was infuriating! Wouldn't have been so negative if the sprinting was better. All in all the game isn't bad but at the same time it isn't good, it's ok to play if you bored. I may have another go at some point, but, I honestly can't recommend this game.1 found this helpful
It's a memorization room type of game as you are chased by the anomaly1 found this helpful
mes amis sont des loser donc ont a fait que 3 étages
this game sucks the first level is way to hard there are drops everywhere and the creature is way to fast so you have to try to speed through everything its a bad game
..
The backrooms always has a cool style but this game isn't very long, the FOV is way too zoomed in {it makes it harder to move and much easier to fall into the pits} and the gameplay is repetitive. It has you do the same thing a few times and then the game just ends.
