What players say
First playthrough review time. Still Wakes the Deep is a horror game that mainly focuses on people changing in scary ways, strange and unknown forces, fear of tight spaces and the deep sea. You play a character who is going through a difficult time and working as part of a crew when a series of strange events starts happening. The game has a very dark atmosphere, and some of the horror visuals are quite interesting...
Had a absolute blast playing this game. Saw it was on sale on i decided to pick it up with the dlc and i'm glad I did. The whole presentation and setting is awesome, i enjoyed everything about the game apart from unfortunately how short it is. I managed to 100% the base game and dlc at about 18 hours, that includes several playthrough's. The story including the characters is pretty good, all characters are done...
Great story and exploration. Nice addition to the collection, alongside Amnesia and SOMA.
