better than subnautica 2
Nice visuals, Death in the Water 2 was scarier compared to Subnautica for me personally. A bit repetitive but doesnt stay too long so it is all good.
**⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5** Death in the Water 2 ma veľmi príjemne prekvapila. Už od prvých minút je cítiť skvelú atmosféru – podmorský svet je nádherne spracovaný a zároveň neustále vytvára pocit napätia. Každý ponor je plný adrenalínu a nikdy neviete, čo na vás spoza tmy zaútočí. Najviac ma však ohromilo, že túto hru vytvorili iba dvaja ľudia. Na taký malý tím je kvalita grafiky, zvukov, animácií morských tvorov aj celkového spracovania naozaj obdivuhodná. Je vidieť, že do projektu vložili veľa času a srdca. Páči sa mi aj systém vylepšovania výzbroje a postupné odomykanie nového vybavenia, vďaka čomu má hra dobré tempo a motivuje pokračovať. Ak máte radi podmorské horory alebo hry s napätou atmosférou, Death in the Water 2 určite stojí za vyskúšanie. Veľký rešpekt vývojárom – dokázali vytvoriť hru, ktorá sa môže bez problémov porovnávať s titulmi od oveľa väčších štúdií.
Release The Kraken!🐙
I am a grown man and I screamed. This game is so well made I might never play it again. I can't get a refund because they did too good of a job, no. A refund would bring more shame than the shrill cry of a 43 year old man in the night. I will face my fear. I will try to face my fear. I give it 60-40 ods.
🌊 Death in the Water 2 Dieses Spiel ist leider ein Paradebeispiel für Potenzial, das durch mangelnde Abwechslung und eine zu vorhersehbare Mechanik ausgebremst wird. Das Grundkonzept hat durchaus Reiz, doch die Umsetzung fällt aufgrund ihrer eintönigen Struktur schwer ins Gewicht. Der größte Kritikpunkt ist die enorme Vorhersehbarkeit des Gameplay-Rhythmus. Statt einer durchgehenden Herausforderung fühlt sich der Kampf oft wie ein rhythmisches Warten auf die nächste "Welle" an Angriffen an. Die Spannung entzieht sich dem Spiel selbst, da der Spieler stets weiß, welche Art von Angriff und wann er zu erwarten ist. Hinzu kommt das spürbare Fehlen eines polierten Endproduktes. Diese Limitierung spiegelt sich auch im Umfang des Entwicklerteams wider; es wirkt oft so, als wäre die Entwicklung durch sehr begrenzte Ressourcen limitiert worden. Das Resultat: Mechaniken werden wiederholt, aber selten vertieft oder erweitert. Fazit: Wer einen tiefgründigen taktischen Horror sucht, wird hier enttäuscht. Es fühlt sich zu monoton und zu geradlinig an. Man wartet auf die nächste Attacke, statt mit der Umgebung selbst in Interaktion zu treten. Ein hohes Potential, das leider nicht ausgeschöpft wurde. ⭐️ ⭐️ ½
面白さがわからなかった。 一応宝箱のある方角は表示されるがどこにあるのかよくわからない。 1個は見つけたけどほかの宝箱がどこにあるのか案内表示がないのでわからないまま1ステージ目をクリアになった。 クリーチャーが出現したと表示されるが周りを魚が泳いでいるだけで姿を見ることはなかった。 3D酔いしやすい体質なのでギブアップ。 水中の見た目は良い。
Nada me impidio pasarmelo bien. Ni la tendencia de Lighthouse Games Studio por aprovechar cualquier oportunidad para meter imagenes generadas por inteligencia artificial ni la dependencia absurda al RNG en cuanto al botin de los estuches de supervivencia o al mero ritmo de los enemigos. Soy un hijo del Deep y como tal no le tengo miedo a las inmersiones, lo abismos maritimos, los combates con tiburones, las fisicas correspondientes al entorno ni mucho menos al enorme calamar que supo vender el juego en primer lugar. Y dicho sea de paso, ese molusco enorme con sus fisicas diversas en cada uno de los tentaculos es una absoluta proeza del escalado en 3d, el renderizado y la confeccion de algoritmo, y es una razon super legitima para probarlo y enfrentarse a las profundidades
Классный подводный мир и с его обитателями в игре. Только страшно когда не знаешь, что тебя ждёт на глубине. 9/10
The game has a way of making you fell uneasy anywhere you are. the feeling of being watched never goes away. any time you think it cant get worse it does. This is one of the best Indie games i have played and the way they used the AI is how all AI should work they made it not be AI slop.
