DIVE or DIE - Children of Rain

期待した私が○○でした。　とにかく潜水してからの展開が、単調で、進み具合が呪い。暗いイメージばかりを植え付けて、前に進めない恐怖がメインのうっとおしいゲーム。もう少し進み具合に変化があれば少しは楽しめたはず。なんで、変化が無いの。そんなゲームのどこが・・・的な印象。見た目は良かったが単調だけがあまりにも退屈で残念。

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ design that punishes experemintation and rewards metagaming(oh you explored all the way to objective? Too bad, you forgot to craft ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ammo, which is, nonesential useless waste of resources, but there is 2 places in game when its mandatory to progress. Too bad you found it out 300 meters deep, and 1 meter away from completeing mission XDDDDD). Ai is non existent and exploitable. Horror is killed by the grind and idiotic design decisions(nothing is happening ? CHASE HORROR MUSIC!!!!. Instakill invincible monster locked on you and rushing towards you? Dead silence). Illusion of choice, there is only 1 correct way to do things, tons of options are meaningless if there is only one good option that exists. ♥♥♥♥ story that goes usual "oh man so deep" route of modern games aka, ACTUALY ITS ALL IN YOUR HEAD AND REFERENCE TO GRIEFF AND DEPRESSION AND MODERN SOCIETY PROBLEMS, LOOK MA IM A WRITER. Main and only difficulty:♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ camera, which is constantly comes closer or goes away depending on location, making you pixel hunt monster toes and moving inch by inch in horror locations because camera shrunk, you vision also, but monster trigger radius stays the same.

机制怪多，容错率极低，主力队员一旦犯错基本废档，玩得太压抑了，可惜退款已来不及。

while playing the game with Crossover on my mac, a flash back bug that makes me kept stuck in the end of first diving :( hope there's a resolve after a few weeks!

Welcome to "The Darkest Diver". If you like Dave the Diver or Dredge, this game is for you! Unfortunately, the game is also very poorly designed in places and can quickly become frustrating. If you make a crucial mistake, you can end up in a dead end (often referred to as a ‘soft lock’ or a ‘stuck game’) if you waste resources or plan your route incorrectly. It’s also not possible to load an older save file. You basically have to start all over again. I hope that in future there will be options to save progress. Otherwise, I won’t be playing this game for much longer. As it stands, the gaming experience is more frustrating than entertaining.

I had way more fun than expected, and can only recommend this game. For the price, the exploration feeling and the world build are super cool, and honestly, until you understand the game in a way that you can break it, it is an amazing experience. After a while, using good sense, you can sacrifice villagers to increase your days(nerfing this mechanic would be great) and the eldrich equipments just get too good that the game is not a challenge anymore., and also you get used to the places, tricks and where to farm each thing without risking too much. Still, the first time feeling exploring with low oxygen and trying to gather resources is super fun, I heavily recommend this game
