Still Wakes the Deep

Probably the best voice acting I heard in a horror game. The oil rig is fun to explore, but the game is pretty short and monsters encounters are a bit boring. But I liked the story and the characters. Definitely worth buying at a discount, but wouldn't recommend getting it for the full price.

I hate to say it because I normally like the Chinese Room but I really don't get the appeal of this one at all. I'm seeing lots of praise directed at the story, but aside from the opening and ending sequences, there's practically no story to speak of aside from go here, fix thing, answer phone, repeat. The characters do not have meaningful interactions with each other, they just serve as objective givers. When they die or become monsters, I did not care because I did not know them. Even the main character, who at least had his vaguely-mentioned connection to his daughters, I just did not connect with at all. And I had recently become a father when I played this for the first time, so that's really saying something. This is just a huge step down narratively from all the other Chinese Room games I've played, which I have actually liked. I like walking simulators, I like cosmic horror, I like boats and the ocean, and I like story-driven games. But, like I said, there's really no story at all here, unless you count repairing various sections of a sinking oil rig to be story. AMFP at least had a mystery and lore that revealed itself as you went around repairing things. This is literally just surface-level, what you see is what you get. The graphics and voice acting are nice, but not enough for me to say that I enjoyed it. Mediocre at best and bafflingly overhyped.

Still Wakes the Deep é um ótimo jogo de terror para quem busca uma experiência intensa e focada na narrativa. A ambientação é excelente, a tensão é constante e o áudio ajuda bastante a criar momentos realmente assustadores. O ponto negativo é a curta duração. A campanha pode ser concluída em poucas horas, o que pode deixar quem procura um jogo mais longo com a sensação de que acabou rápido. Outro problema é a performance. Mesmo em PCs mais potentes, o jogo pode apresentar quedas de FPS e alguns problemas de otimização, o que acaba prejudicando um pouco a experiência. Ainda assim, vale muito a pena quando entra em promoção. Se você gosta de jogos de terror com uma boa história, atmosfera marcante e não se importa com uma campanha curta, Still Wakes the Deep é uma excelente escolha, principalmente se comprado com desconto.

Oyunun en sevdiğim yanı gerçekten oynarken ne inanılmaz altına sıçırtıyor ne de gerilmeden durabiliyorsun yani kısaca gerilim ayarı çok tadında olmuş.Atmosfer desen süper.Ayrıca gitmemiz gereken yerleri gösteren sayı boyalı işaretler çok güzel düşünülmüş oyun oynarken mal gibi nereye gitcez diye takılmadan ilerleyebiliyorsunuz(Tabi kapatabiliyorsunuz o özelliği de)

Великолепная игра, прям зацепила. Хорошая история, жаль, что не настолько прописанная (много нераскрытого). Геймплей в принципе приемлемый, надоедает только тогда, когда нужно опять лезть по какой-то лестнице и пробираться по тонюсенькой балке вперёд. Игра небольшая, но это и хорошо. Монстры прям стрёмные и противные, да и всё, что по платформе расползлось. Ещё хотелось бы побольше узнать, что за вирус они там буром задели. Игра для меня не страшная, но такая атмосферная - жесть. Иногда надоедает, что Каз (гг) вставляет свои трёхкопеечные маты, их прямо многовато. Концовка — просто огонь🔥, грустная, но вполне логичная. Чтобы закрыть игру на 100%, надо купить DLC и пособирать предметы, это уже кто как хочет. Что насчёт DLC, просто плаваешь, и всё в целом. Я думал, хоть что-то раскроют, а так просто показали дочь Броуди, которая пыталась выяснить, что почём. Концовку вообще оставили открытой. Но если судить об игре в целом, то мне всё понравилось. Давно не играл в такие игры. А вообще, моё первое прохождение было на YouTube у Юджина (EugeneSagaz) - там и появилось огромное желание поиграть в игру.

Seemingly unplayable in 2026, Fatal Error crashes, even with the -dx11 workaround, and when the game runs for a couple minutes at a time, it runs at about 15fps on my beast of a gaming machine. Literally unplayable, I'll watch it on youtube since it's up my alley of lovecraftian horror, such a shame. Seems like a very common issue with the game, can't believe this hasn't been addressed in the past couple years.

[i] Read this in Scottish accent [/i] Glad I ignored the sh𝒊te reviews. Do nae listen tae aw the moaning in the reviews and gave this one a bash. Cracking story, solid characters and Those things runnin' aboot the rig are pure nightmare fuel and had me sh𝒊ting masel every time they showed up The story's aboot human greed. Some daft bastards went pokin' and drillin' where they shouldnae have, and everybody else ended up payin' the price for it. [spoiler] The more ye play, the more ye realise there was never gonnae be a happy ending. The end's a right gut punch. Sad as hell, but it felt honest and made perfect sense. [/spoiler]

It's neutral for me, a lot of people can probably enjoy it but it isn't my taste.. Really interested in the creature but everything else is kind of meh and unimmersive so far. This goes from things like most problems having very linear solutions, your run being walking but with flopping your arms in front of you (basically told me that rushed escapes aren't really a thing and it is all timing, killing a lot of suspense), many problems that my player ran into had obvious solutions that I wasn't allowed to take (climbing over a fence instead of jumping over a 40 ft drop), never being able to grab a weapon in a clearly hostile environment (I can accept it not being helpful, but you're telling me that you wouldn't even try to grab a crowbar or anything). There are smaller things too like the subtitles not matching the dialogue. Logical consistency is a big thing for me in horror type movies and games, so IDK if I will finish this one.
