Absolutely love the idea of GTFO, and the hardcore nature that fosters the need for tight cooperation. But unfortunately that's also exactly why I can't recommend it, unless you have 3 good friends you can play it with. There is zero difficulty scaling, and it's really challenging even for 4 players, so if you just want to do it as a duo with a single friend, you're pretty much screwed. They added a matchmaking …

And here comes the moment: today we have beaten the game. main, secondary, overload of all levels. I don't even know what to say because by describing it as a journey through hell, getting lost in rundown labyrinths with abominations and having to die again and again and again and again ad-fcking-nauseum is just not doing it justice. it's grit, experience, observation, trial and error, failing better each time so …

This game is stressful. Very difficult. Will make you hate yourself and your friends. Will take a toll on your mental health. I cannot get enough of it.

Hands down the most difficult game I have ever played in my entire life. You will need four people, not three, not two. There is no solo experience. Four, highly coordinated people who are taking the game very seriously. The missions can take literal hours and there are very rarely any checkpoints. However, the feeling of finally completing a mission and getting just a little bit further is unlike anything I've …

GTFO absolutely drips aesthetic with its dark, oppressive atmosphere, and brutally difficult, unforgiving gameplay — Good communication, planning, and teamwork are absolutely imperative for survival and progression, as the game will immediately and mercilessly punish you (and your entire team in turn) for even the slightest slip-up. Even your choice of tools and weapons at the start of each level will make or break …

It WAS good but nowadays you're only going to find the most insufferable try hard elitists or people who buy the game on sale and are gone in days because of their exposure to the previously mentioned group. There are several game ruining bugs like terminals breaking, C-foam going through doors, half your screen developing a giant black circle for minutes at a time, etc. The majority of the indentured…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TLDR: I enjoyed playing it, however, it's impossible to recommend. It sets out to be a really difficult coop shooter/stealth game, and it technically is, but I don't think it's in the way most people want. I don't even really know how much of the enjoyment I had was coming from the game, and how much was from hanging out with 3 friends. My conclusion is that it's a shooter where you are punished for fighting and a stealth game where stealth is barely functional, all that in a package with 3h…

negative · AI labelView post →The game is great but too difficult for an average gamer. The biggest disadvantage is the community's official discord server admins who can insult you and then ban you if you disagree with their opinion no matter that you are polite.

neutral · AI labelView post →I remembered why I stopped playing this. 90% of the game is playing red light green light and doing stealth melee sync kills with your friends. The other 10% is playing L4D in absolutely pitch black rooms with awful flashlights and enemies who twitch around like they're having a seizure, making them needlessly difficult to actually shoot, assuming you can even find them in the dark. It's boring. And when it's not boring, it's frustrating. The story is interesting but doled out to you at such…

It will stay running in the background, forcing you over the 2 hour time limit Steam has for game refunds if you exit out and go about your day without checking. You will need to fully shut down Steam itself in order to exit. You've been warned.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Me and my buds first found this game to be exactly what we wanted, scary, difficult and requiring teamwork. The problem is that after a few levels it becomes way too punishing. We've all grown up gaming, but now we're grownups with jobs and we don't have neither the time, nor the desire to develop hardcore skills in a random FPS. What made us give it up is playing a level for hours, failing and having to do the same ♥♥♥♥ again. After a few attempts you're done. For us, the lack of a more…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If your mindset is "only spoilers are story spoilers" and you can't respect that not everyone has that opinion then GTFO 😂 Some people just want to experience things completely blind and don't want to be told about story, gameplay mechanics or systems in a game.

Yes, but you might not see all the content, and there is a LOT of content on higher difficulties. I have 60 hours in the game and only completed all the A and partially B missions plus first Rundown with mostly bots, and I think its…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →GTFO is an interesting game that I would have liked to play more, but I think it's a little too hardcore for its own good, especially as a co-op title. Missions are long, and the punishment for the group is high for a single mistake by anyone in your four-man squad. The preferred method of clearing rooms also seems to be shuffling slowly through the dark until you can stealth kill all enemies. Weirdly, the result is a game that I thought was both very stressful and very boring. As much…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Rage loop. I don't have a problem with hard games. Some of the most fun games I've played are difficult because they make you fail, learn, and eventually improve. That feeling of "I was so close, let me try again" is what keeps people coming back. GTFO doesn't really give me that feeling. Instead, it puts you into a rage loop. You spend a long time preparing, sneak around carefully, make one mistake, and suddenly everything falls apart. Then you restart and do it all over again, except now…

They want you to work as a team, be sneaky and precises, however they stack dumb factors such as poisonous fog(which permanently reduces your health), enemies that trigger the entire room and just lack of resources. All under the guise of "skillful" play. You can tell they started to stray from these mechanics in the later levels, because they actually implement check points and slightly less RNG. Overall i understand why no…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game if you’re patient enough to learn its quirks. It features excellent stealth mechanics and amazing gunplay, both in sound and feel. However, to truly enjoy it, you’ll need to overcome one major hurdle: having three friends to play with.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is way too unforgiving. Each successful run can take over an hour and one alarm door can make a match go from seeming winnable to completely unwinnable in the matter of seconds, wasting however much time you spent getting to that point. The way you have to slowly work your way through rooms with a melee weapon, just to open another door and do it all over again. And one single mistake in a room full of enemies could instantly kill a run OR waste too many supplies that the run dies…

Strange artefacts want to be collected, So that weird boosts can be effected. There are console terminals to interact, Gamers are all nerds, in fact. At every step patience is required, Otherwise the outcome is less than desired. Behold! Difficulty does not scale, If you solo, you are dead and pale. The game gibeth, the game taketh. It is what it is, what YOU out of it maketh.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Is a masterpiece in the first 50 hours. But then you start feeling the weakness of your flesh and the limits of the human body. And after another 50 hours you finally understand: the devs accidentally forgot to playtest the level. 10/10 would fail at their next game again

The game is extremely difficult. Missions can take an hour or more. Death normally means complete restart. So why am I giving it a negative review? Well, first of all, I can't find a game. I've tried every setting to no avail. Literally hours looking for matches - nothing. Okay, no worries, I said, there's AI teammates. Oh. I say without…

Before i played GTFO for the first time, i've seen a little glimpses of what it was, i got kinda obsessed with what it could be, with gas masks, monsters in the dark, sentry guns, bioscans and stuff. This game is meant to be discovered in the dark, played in the dark. You will suffer because it will hurt you while you learn on your mistakes. We crave for true team work based coop games, but if you truly want to depend on your team - the challenge has to be hard and the…

There are plenty of active players, making it really fun even when playing with randoms, but it’s definitely more enjoyable with friends. Playing with bots is okay, but I wouldn’t really recommend it. I’ve been playing for so long that I actually forgot to leave a review—so here it is. This is also the only game where I’ve reached 2,077.3 hours of playtime. It’s absolutely worth the price.

This game can ONLY be played with 4 players that are at least in communication with each other. Solo is a nightmare, duos is hell, trios are doable but not great, and even with 4 communicating players, the game is VERY difficult. Even with that said, I still love this game and want to play it all the time.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is an awesome game. Started this game during Covid-19 pandemic where we are all lockdown at home. So clearing the game was pretty much fun and frustration back then. There wasn't any check point to save. And we would waste 3-4 hours game play and get wipe out at the very end. And yet, the four of us would still come back trying to clear the rundown.
