Still Wakes the Deep

O jogo é muito bom....muita tensão e correria. Curti o visual do jogo. Boa história.

Beetje vaag hoe de enemy werkt en wat het is. Einde is ook wat random en niet duidelijk. Zou het niet kopen.

I don't liike scary games but I like gaelic

6.7 This was quite disappointing to finish, especially after hearing such high praise for it before. Every play session I was enjoying the game and eager to progress. The gameplay itself was rather lacking but it was enough to get me through and the dialogue is the shining star amidst it all. I played Amnesia Rebirth not too long ago and I quite enjoyed it overall, The game had a fair amount of breadcrumbing story throughout with bigger reveals in the last segments. So seeing the setup of the initial rig and then some of the breadcrumbing throughout I thought they were doing something similar until it just kind of... ended. The horror of the entire thing is very lovecraftian through and through. I'm not the biggest fan of lovecraftian horror but I felt this touched more on what I do enjoy of it and it never went too far with The actual main thing itself. Parts of it that we do see through out look really great, blending with the designs of shimmering of water and fleshy growth, it looks great. The rest of the horror is very "The Thing" styled body horror and it was okay but the game does show it quite early and then never really eases off from that. Atmosphere has a couple areas that are a little more "Oooh when's it gunna start attacking" kind of feelings but that's about it. My first encounter I was trying to get through and it immediately rushed me killing me instantly which broke a few things horror wise for me. Mostly in showing that checkpoints are super frequent so no worry and that if I get spotted I'm almost instantly killed (I don't think I ever actually died again aside from drowning twice and some where I accidentally let go of a button). This immediately sapped a lot of tension for me. [spoiler]On the same topic of the enemies, I found that I believe almost every single encounter is a stealth section zig-zagging through the area until you reach a point where it hears you and then you get a chase. OR just a straight up chase. Either way there were way too many chase sequences personally. So much so that 2, heck I'd even say 3 have the enemy just die at the end of it. One of which the death I even missed because I was just running and didn't even realise it really died until I got an achievement for "Defeating x". [/spoiler] The main aspect of gameplay is very just walking in a 'jagged' path; you're climbing along rafters, railings and ridges but it's all ultimately a direct path. There is NO deviation whatsoever. This is 'okay' but about 2/3 in it did feel quite tedious. Replaying even more so. There is a bunch of yellow paint/objects to follow for the path, you can turn these off but that instead just meant running into a room and thinking "Am I looking for a ladder or the railing that is formed into a ladder" generally. The core narrative was the main thing that I heard praised in the game and it's extremely lacking. Personally I don't feel it spends enough time at the beginning really getting to know the crew to make a lot of the later moments really very impactful. Roy is meant to be a long time friend of both Caz and his Wife but we are only ever really told that in a flash back or two. They do share some dialogues together but not enough to really elevate things much. [spoiler] When it came to his death and how it played out I was just left rather unmoved toward it. [/spoiler] Brodie is the only character I felt that had enough interaction with the story to pick up on a lot of his character [spoiler] and when it came to his final moments actually feel for what was happening. [/spoiler] Finlay's characterisation also just feels flat much like Roy as Finlay's disalogues mostly are them telling you where to go and what to do next in an objective manner. [spoiler] Coupled with a rather strange speech in their death to motivate Caz but it's been him doing what she is motivating him to do the entire time since the event, especially as we have had other characters outright decline and Caz just essentially go 'oh alright then I guess I will instead'. [/spoiler] The other characters whenever being mentioned or seen and Caz responding just leaving me going "Who was that again?" I just don't feel that the themes for what is happening and the reflections it has through Caz is every really felt. The initial story barely really moves and almost loops in on itself, Caz' character barely changes with it until the story says he has. (Siren's Rest DLC) 6.1 I'm very mixed on this DLC. Conceptually I really like what it is setting out to do and I think there is a great potential with it. The exploration parts at the start of chapters is interesting and sets up quite a bit of expectation into the nature of what you could uncover, but then it never fully utilises it especially after a point. About 1/3 in there's a 'Prometheus' moment which is just stupid and annoying. But then about 2/3 in it just decides it needs to do something else extremely abruptly. So much so it just interjects the narrative points and plot points it wants to make no matter whether it's really paced or fits well with what's going on. I do appreciate some of the backstory that it does add along with a couple big question marks on some things. But it's never enough to really make it feel especially done well.

The positives first: the setting is incredibly detailed, the voice acting is great, the writing is good. Sadly, there is hardly any game here. I've enjoyed so-called 'walking simulators' in the past, but those still find a way to use their limited mechanics to tell the story. Here, it feels like the developers don't trust you to make even the slightest wrong turn. Almost every path is marked in yellow paint (even with the 'reduced' path markers option). 99% of doors are purely decorative (until the game decides they're not). They can't even trust you to walk across a deck without strategically placed boxes marking the exact path. Worse though, the game pretends to have more complex mechanics than it does. Early on, the game tells you that you will need to find heaters to stay warm, hinting at a light survival mechanic. Nope, completely scripted, most heaters are purely decorative. The puzzles can't really be called puzzles: turning a valve right next to you to shut off steam and figuring out how to launch a lifeboat (with the instructions on a bright yellow sign next to it) are the highlights. The stealth has the most meat to it but is barely used. These sections are limited to small areas so don't expect a cat-and-mouse experience like many other stealth-horror games. Still, the story could make it worth playing. The issue is it's also barely there. Large sections of the game go by with no progression at all. The environment is also pretty barren of any notes or lore, which helped fill the gap in Amnesia Machine For Pigs. Overall, can't recommend at all unless you're happy with an extremely linear experience. Or work for BP.

na pohodku gameska :)

I started the game, because of a video I saw a long time ago. Ever since then i've been wanting to play the game, but have never come around to do so. Now after all this time i bought it and decided to fully engulf myself in this beautiful story, compromising amazing characters, great voice acting and a touching story. My only critique would be the subtitles which were off from time to time, so basically a null point. One of the best games i have ever come to witness.
