Я — ученый, чудом сбежавший из Зоны-02. Эта игра — чистый адреналин: сирены, рев SCP-173 за спиной, предатели среди D-класса, хаос от повстанцев. Каждый раунд — борьба за жизнь с ключ-картами, пистолетами и импровизированными союзниками. Атмосфера Фонда на высоте, звуки пробирают до мурашек. Минусы: баги на серверах, кричащие микрофоны и читеры иногда. Но бесплатно и затягивает на часы — рекомендую!
