PlayStation 5 Critic Reviews

Escape the Backrooms does a great job of instilling fear as you explore the unknown and try to solve the various puzzles, and playing with friends is the best way to play.

At the end of the day, Escape the Backrooms is just a fantastically fun and scary co-op experience. It’s not some highly curated horror with flashy graphics and audio design, nor does it break the wheel in any wild way. But considering you are basically being put in a level with some murderous creature and being asked to avoid it and escape time and time again, Escape the Backrooms manages to keep things impressively fresh.
