Deepest Trench

This game won't be everyone's cup of tea, but I've played it through twice and had a blast. I have not had the opportunity to try out the game in co-op so I'm unable to comment on that aspect of the game. This is essentially a fairly simple puzzle game within a highly narrative setting. Deepest Trench is the first game from the studio and it is not without flaws. The inability to swim faster while carrying objects makes sense mechanically, but can the couple of levels with a fair bit of to-and-fro-ing seem a bit too laborious (at least while playing solo). The harpoon gun feels "off" to aim and use, due to the off-centre crosshairs, and takes a little getting used to. The writing and dialogue (especially with the emphasis on the characters relationship) is cheesy and over-the-top sometimes, which I think some people would hate, but personally I found very enjoyable and the sometimes janky gameplay added to the charm. For me, this game felt like playing a low-budget, straight to TV, B movie, just with some puzzles. I love those type of films, and I think this game would appeal to others who enjoy those types of films, especially if they want to share that experience with a friend. In particular the design of [spoiler]the leviathan[/spoiler] was magnificent. I'll definitely be taking a long at future projects from Favor Games.

Ni os acerquéis.

Jogo ótimo para um coopertivo. Joguei solo e gostei. Um passa tempo bom veja gameplay https://youtu.be/XU-5mw7HXEU

While I think the idea of this game was a great concept, I couldn't get past the voice acting. It sounded like AI and it was super distracting from the actual gameplay. The intro alone was 5 minutes of backstory which could've been incorporated in the gameplay instead of having us sit through the voice acting. I think this game could be fun with a friend to play as playing it solo was a bit overwhelming (managing oxygen levels, doing tasks that required two people, etc.)

Great multiplayer game, it's a split screen coop which is hard to find now a days. The story of the game is great which needs puzzle solving missions to be done together. The graphics isn't the greatest but the gameplay and story makes up for it.

Did not get to play co-op on this but I can see it being fun. Pretty unique game, wait for a sale. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ir9XNE96hjQ [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/40526744-KillaCyst/]Steam Recommendations[/url] [url=https://youtube.com/killacyst?sub_confirmation=1]YouTube[/url] [url=https://www.tiktok.com/@killacyst]TikTok[/url]

O jogo é muito bom mas precisa otimizar os videos iniciais, ter um auto save pra quando morrer não precisar refazer todo o capitulo e sim voltar de onde parou, e menos falação dos personagens, são textos e falas enormes fora das cut scenes.

Game bem da hora, tem uma atmosfera na pegada do subnautica, recomendo o game quem curte o gênero e joga com um amigo em dupla deve ser da hora, só faltou uma legenda em PT-BR mas quem sabe os dev coloquei no futuro, fiz uma play do inicio dele passa lá conferir já deixa um Like se gosta já se inscreve ^^ . https://youtu.be/wA4A6gbdcHM

I stumbled upon this game by accident while just browsing and it peaked my interest, I'm a big fan of underwater/diving games as it adds that extra element of survival - needing oxygen, Me and my wife absolutely loved playing this together and it definitely surpassed my expectations to say the least, the working together aspect to solve puzzles not only had us on edge but had us bickering in a playful way much to my audiences delight... the fact that you can play this split screen is a lovely bonus that many games don't seem to do anymore so as a couple who game together its hard to find games that still do that, I 100% recommend this game if you like underwater/horror/co-op games you will have fun... we cant wait to dive deeper into it (pun unintended) 💚💙
