For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Great atmosphere and cool playability. This game is very unique on its genre. Looking forward to the 3.
🔍Quick Read : 4.5/10. This 2-person Dev team set out to make an oceanic horror experience and slightly delivered. Repetitive missions hold this game back, however the stunning underwater world we are introduced to could make someone with thalassophobia easily have nightmares. ⚠️ Devs state generative AI was used in game menus and it shows, I HATE seeing slop for something as simple as the “adjust brightness” settings. Same for the voice acting. Fiverr exists people. Death In The Water 2 threw me into its submerged world with its eye-catching visuals and that overall sense of dread which comes with the territory of the deep ocean. Even when first opening the game, you're met with a horrific yet beautiful scene of sharks surrounding the carcass of a whale, while dead bodies float in the distance. The opening score is also AMAZING in captivating the real adventure-seeking vibe before you descend. Which is why it's so gross to see AI all over EVERY loading screen and MENU, even when the game is first launched. Lastly about AI, the voice is bad, like really awful and can be picked up as AI in the first couple words. Which is also weird cause the sound design for your character and the wildlife is so perfect. Especially when you're alone and hear something shoot past in the water, which brings you back into this primal sense of fight or flight. 📖The Story : Is there one? I mean, definitely nothing memorable or even to write about tbh. Maybe starting with 2 was a mistake and I did so because it was on my steam store specials. Did I say DEEP? Lol. Seriously though, this game is NOT as open as I thought, and instead feels almost like a giant COD map where you can explore the things the dev made (like sunken crates, caves, ships ) and everything else you see in the distance is a giant pit that can't be explored. Overall, the game these 2 have created is stunning and made me want to love this game more than I did. In reality, the only thing I can positively come out and say? The visuals and sound design are beautifully done, the gunplay is fun and interesting, really cool creatures, andddd then its formatted in a search and destroy type mission xD 🛡️Combat : AMAZING. It's perfect for what I needed, and what I needed was some original gunplay and awesome fish death mechanics I guess xD. Sharks will eat your shot target when dead, things disappear right before your eyes, the fish react to shots in areas like real life, and the sway ooOOoooo the SWAY feels so perfect for an underwater sim shooter. 💰YOU SHOULD BUY IF…: 🤿 You Enjoy Great Underwater Visuals 😱 You Enjoy a Good Scare 🔫 You Enjoy Arena Shooters

If you have even the slightest fear of the ocean, this game will crank it up to 11. Honestly I don't know why this has got a lot of hate, Death in the Water 2 does an incredible job of making every dive feel tense. The underwater environments are beautiful, but you never feel truly safe. One minute you're peacefully exploring shipwrecks and reefs, the next you're desperately trying to escape a swarm of sea creatures while the Kraken is hunting you down. The atmosphere is easily the game's biggest strength. Great lighting, eerie sound design, and realistic sea life create constant suspense. Progression feels rewarding too, with new weapons and upgrades giving you more ways to survive each increasingly difficult dive. It's not a huge AAA experience, but for an indie title it delivers far more than I expected. If you enjoy horror games, underwater exploration, or simply want something different from the usual survival shooter, this is well worth playing. Pros: Terrifying underwater atmosphere Beautiful visuals and creature animations Fun weapon upgrades and progression Great mix of exploration, horror, and action Keeps you on edge from start to finish Cons: Can become repetitive during longer sessions Story isn't the main focus
got to lvl 3 and i was too scared to continue. and I'm ScubaSteve...
Pretty cool game
Ich liebe dieses game ich will unbedingt Teil 3.
Despite suffering from Thalasophobia, I thoroughly enjoy this title.
Esse jogo fez eu lembrar que tenho talassofobia 🤡👍!'
O jogo é muito bonito e interessante, a física é bem fiel a realidade, exceto ao abrir os baús, que o ouro pode flutuar e os itens também. O jogo é muito legal, mas bem limitado quando se trata de progresso, o objetivo basicamente é o mesmo sempre, então, não espere que vai comprar e jogar horas e horas, porque não vai. Os animais são bem bonitos e certamente você vai reconsiderar o fato de mata-los sempre, mas conforme aumenta a dificuldade acaba sendo inevitável lançar uma flexa de arpão neles. Acredito que conforme você consegue formar melhores equipamentos, criaturas diferentes e uma mobilidade melhor podem acontecer o que certamente criará uma outra experiência. De modo geral, o jogo é bem legal. Nota 7.
[h1] Debemos contemplar que este juego fue desarrollado por solo 2 personas, partiendo de esa base: [/h1] [h3] [/h3] ● Realmente el video promocional nos muestra un juego bastante inmersivo, con un nivel de exploración y desafío bastante alto aunado al posible terror que encontráramos jugándolo, por desgracia, el juego falla en su punto principal: no da miedo. ● El combate es bastante genérico aunque podrías justificarse con que básicamente peleas con animales sin la capacidad de desarrollar tácticas de combate, pero es que tampoco es que encuentres enemigos ocultos bajo la arena o en la vegetación que pudieran darte algún sobresalto... [h2] Gráficos [/h2] ● Visualmente me gusta la sensación que transmite el diseño gráfico, dando una completa sensación de inmersión y dificultando enormemente ver más allá de cierta, logra una buena sensación al “jugar” bajo el agua pero la falta de detalles visuales se echa en menos. ● En sí el diseño de escenarios consiste en un mapa enorme donde desde el principio eres desplegado y los distintos niveles están fragmentados acordes a donde se desarrolla cada nivel, pero desde el primer momento es posible avanzar con exploits a la guardia del enemigo principal, aun así logra una gran sensación de profundidad oceánica [h2] Sonidos [/h2] ● Considerando que es un juego hecho solo por dos personas el apartado sonoro cumple adecuadamente. los sonidos como la respiración, el impacto contra los arrecifes o el sonido de las armas ayudan a transmitir la idea que jugamos bajo el agua aunque la variedad de efectos ambientales es bastante limitada. [h2] Jugabilidad [/h2] ● El principal problema de Death in Water 2 es que resulta sumamente repetitivo, te sueltan en medio del océano, aparecen dos o tres tiburones, el gunplay es bastante simple y es demasiado repetitivo incluso al pelear contra el jefe del último nivel ● Las deficiencias con la inteligencia artificial es que los enemigos no tienen la capacidad de desarrollar tácticas de combate lo que los torna en blancos muy simples aun cuando seas superado ampliamente en número teniendo una variedad de armas específicas para distintas situaciones, ya sea para combate cercano, múltiples objetivos o golpear titanes marinos. [h2] Progresión [/h2] ● En cada nivel necesitas explorar para conseguir oro con el que desbloquear y mejorar el armamento, cada nivel dura aproximadamente 10 minutos donde tienes unos cuantos minutos para explorar, encontrar los cofres y sobrevivir a la oleada de animales furiosos [h2] ¿Lo recomiendo? [/h2] ● Si eres fan de los estudios indie y no te molesta que se vuelva repetitivo a los 30 minutos
