We Need To Go Deeper

The game doesn't support 4K. There's no UI scaling, the available refresh rates are all over the place, and it defaults to medium graphics settings. I'm not playing on a potato. The audio settings are strange too. At 70% the music is barely audible, while 100% is blasting my ears. The controls don't help either. You can only view them from the main menu, and the tutorial flashes some button prompts for just a few seconds before they're gone. If you forget something, good luck. You'd better have the controls open on a second monitor. The game is clearly designed around multiplayer. Even if you play solo with bots, you can't skip the waiting phase before a mission starts. Once you're in, the game doesn't explain anything. There are no instructions, no objectives, and no map. I had no idea what I was supposed to do or why I was diving deeper in the first place. I eventually stumbled into a cave where my submarine got stuck there. I went outside to investigate, almost died, and couldn't heal. I ordered the bots to help, but apparently they had nothing to heal me with. Most of the gameplay consisted of trying to steer the submarine while hoping the AI would eventually pick up weapons, man the stations, and turn the engines on. Speaking of which, the engine never stops, so if you want to dive straight down, you constantly have to rotate the entire submarine. The bots at least handle aiming and shooting reasonably well. Other than that, the gameplay boils down to diving deeper and shooting things. Maybe this game is much more enjoyable with friends. I wouldn't know. I don't have any. Playing solo, though, I didn't find the exploration interesting enough to make me want to come back.
