Solitude Underwater

‎ ‎

Игра "Solitude Underwater" – это захватывающее, медитативное путешествие в глубины океана, полное тайн и опасностей. Визуальный стиль игры, выполненный в минималистичной, но атмосферной манере, создает ощущение одиночества и умиротворения одновременно. Звуковое сопровождение прекрасно дополняет картину, погружая игрока в подводный мир, полный шелеста водорослей и далеких криков морских обитателей. Геймплей, хоть и не отличается сложностью, затягивает своим исследовательским аспектом. Поиск ресурсов, изучение новых локаций и встреча с уникальными существами – все это заставляет хотеть исследовать океан до самого дна. История, рассказываемая через обрывки воспоминаний и окружение, намеренно недосказана, что заставляет игрока самостоятельно додумывать происходящее и формировать свою собственную интерпретацию событий. Однако, игра не лишена недостатков. Некоторым игрокам может показаться, что геймплей слишком однообразен, а отсутствие более четкого сюжета – разочаровывающим. Но, несмотря на это, "Solitude Underwater" оставляет после себя глубокое впечатление и заставляет задуматься о хрупкости подводного мира и связи человека с природой. Это игра для тех, кто ищет не экшен, а атмосферу и размышления.

the game feels a bit unrefined. the storyline is pretty much a one-track, with not a lot of interesting aspects or variety. there are also numerous miserable aspects of the gameplay. ill be detailing numerous aspects of the game, so if you dont want spoilers, stop reading now. for starters, when you first get stuck at the bottom of the ocean, there are two sharks trying to kill you. when the shark that bites the cage attacks, you are given very obvious sound cues which make fending off that shark not too bad. however, the problem comes with the second shark that rushes at the cage. this shark also has sound cues that indicate when you need to shine your light at the shark to scare it off. i found these sound cues to be more subtle. as well, these same exact sound cues will randomly play, leading you to waste your flashlight battery and waste your time trying to fend off a shark that isnt even there. then trying to reach the laser cutter is so annoying. trying to move the cage is so slow and you have to cross a pretty far distance. by the time you actually reach the laser cutter, if you havent properly conserved your flashlight battery, youll be screwed trying to escape the cage. then when you actually escape the cage and begin your ascent, both sharks will begin attacking. spotting the sharks can be a bit finnicky, leading to some unnecessary deaths when you did technically spot the shark. upon reaching the surface of the water, you then have to swim back to the ship. the sharks will begin leaping at you on either side, with sound cues when theyre going to attack. deciphering which side theyre going to attack from can be annoying, leading to you dodging straight into the mouth of a shark. as well, the timing can be a bit finnicky; if you dodge too early, youll die. then the worst part of the game-- actually reaching the ship. if youve ever played dead by daylight, the skill checks might look a bit familiar. however, the skill checks in solitude underwater are absolutely miserable. youre bombarded with numerous skill checks at once that require you to press certain keys on the keyboard multiple times per skill check. having to do this with one key at a time isnt too bad, but when you have to do this with several other keys at the same time, its incredibly hard to keep track of when youre supposed to hit each key. on top of that, you have to spam the spacebar the whole time too. this segment of the game was not only incredibly difficult, but it takes so long too. and dont even get me started on hardcore mode. unless youre a masochist or youre trying to go for all the achievements (which, at the writing of this review dont yet count due to the game being in the learning phase), i dont recommend playing hardcore. hardcore mode feels genuinely impossible, with the developer of the game actually never having been able to beat it. if the developer of the game cant beat a gamemode on their own game, that says all you need to know.

Fun at first, then garbage. It was like a night at Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria in the beginning, but with sharks. However, the final sequence was so AWFUL that the Dev should be ashamed of himself and fix this ridiculousness immediately. I gave up after an hour of wasting my time. It doesn't matter how fast you spam the bar if you miss a skill check or get punched once, you're done.

Voice acting was kaka, game was kaka The shark kept mean mugging on the side what is this?

A really short game made up of reaction-time-based puzzles. The game has major potential. There are so many ideas for puzzle chambers (not only reaction-time-based but also solving-based). A lot of people say the script and storyline is cringey but eh I think it is pretty good. I guess the manta ray part is cringey (lol?) but other than that it is decent.

[h1]Before I played Solitude Underwater, I had a small pp, no friends, no gf, depression, and no life. These things havent changed, but the game is pretty good[/h1]
