Still Wakes the Deep Review "Buy, Wait for Sale, Never Touch"

Still Wakes the Deep Review "Buy, Wait for Sale, Gamepass or pass"
STILL WAKES THE DEEP is a return to the first-person narrative horror genre for The Chinese Room, creator of critically acclaimed games such as Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs, Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture, and Dear Esther.
You are an offshore oil rig worker, fighting for your life through a vicious storm, perilous surroundings, and the dark, freezing North Sea waters. All lines of communication have been severed. All exits are gone. All that remains is to face the unknowable horror that’s come aboard.

Best for on sale or gamepass and be aware gamepass has less upscaling choices. A great game in the genre but one that doesn't do anything new. www.patreon.com/AngryCentaurGaming

Thanks Karak 😊

[@sumstuff6956]

What genre do u speak of?

[@iamnotatube]

You should maybe shed some light on GamePass having an inferior version of this game compared to Steam and Epic. You are one of the most respected reviewers out there - it might put some pressure on Xbox to find a fix for this issue which has affected quite a few games now. How can you get excited for new Day One games that have features like DLSS/FSR and FOV etc removed?

[@kvothefan5106]

Thanks for clarifying. I couldn't tell if you meant buy or wait for sale as you mainly mention gamepass and as a ps5 owner, that's a no go.

[@MADba111]

A rare instance of the walking sim/horror game that actually has fully modelled, voiced and animated NPCs. That alone is enough to sell me on this type of game. Really refreshing to see. So tired of the decades of these types of games where everyone's already dead/missing, and you're the lone survivor. Will definitely check it out when I get the chance.

[@ProjectPhoenix21]

Definitely check it out. I just finished it and if you like a good walking sim with enough horror tension and atmosphere to make your butt checks clench and a cast of very well voice acted characters, this is a great 6 hours worth of your time.

[@michaelbutler6252]

@@ProjectPhoenix21 This game actually made you scared? I felt more scared playing Soma than this. Idk isn't really scaring me. Found the Big head mutated boss funny

[@1969Makaveli]

I tried it out on XBOX Game Pass and it was good. The game play & the story is what grabbed me. If I had to rate this I`d give at least a 7.5 or a 8 solid.

[@CarlWheatley-wi2cl]

If Chinese Room could combine its obvious talent for immersion, writing, detail and voice work with the gameplay and exploration of something like an Alien Isolation then we would have game of the year contenders. The almost brutal realism of this game just adds to the horror and some scenes are genuinely disturbing and not in that "fun" horror way. You can clearly see the influence of Carpenters The Thing with the body horror but also with the tension, banter and the isolation.

[@purvdragon-sensei]

Really curious how this was developed alongside Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines 2. Did they make most of this before taking on the job or did development start after? It looks way better than the footage they showed of Bloodlines 2, although I’m pretty sure they are reusing assets Hardsuit Labs made for that game.

[@BROTRRer]

Probably just a different team within the studio. Unlike Bloodlines 2, this actually looks good (for what it is, anyway)

I don't understand the part about replayability. You replay a game because you want to relive the experience/story again. No need for things in the game to change, although it's a nice plus (personally though, i tend to make the same choices, if i liked how my previous playthrough felt, that's the reason i replay it after all). It's like with a movie - you watch it again, because you want to experience it again, maybe a year later.

[@ProjectPhoenix21]

This generation of games usually want that kind of replayability where things play out differently or you can go back and collect things you’ve missed. I’m with you though, I grew up playing video games over and over and over again almost exactly the same just for the experience. My favorite game of all time is Shadow of the Colossus and there is a very, very limited ways to play that game, or to mention once you e experienced the game once, that’s it, you’ll never have that same level of wonder again. But I still love it to death and have replayed it, along with its remaster and remake countless times. But I like that ACG points out that you aren’t exactly getting a multiple choice, save certain characters, multiple endings type of deal here. It’s transparent and it helps some people make their choice. I will most likely give the game another go in the future. The setting and atmosphere were fantastic.

$35 is a bit on the steep end for a 5-ish hour experience but I want to support devs that put these kinds of games out so I'll give it a try. A short finely-tuned narrative horror experience is right up my alley and I want to see more like it!

[@jieprelampago]

It's definitely worth it! Game pass has it available free. Either playing it or streaming it shows support! Nonetheless, I would 100% for it. The experience was so thrilling. It took me approx 6-7 hours going through the story and exploring.

[@CaptainMumpitz]

What I did not quite get is: are there chase sequences, just like in Layers of Fear 2 or are you hunted like in Alien isolation? Are you required to hide from monsters otherwise it's game over? Because that's not what I would associate with a walking sim, as I'm thinking more of LoF1, Firewatch, Dear Esther, rachel foster, etc. But if you're just losing characters to monsters, just as in something like The Quarry, that would be pretty cool. Would be nice if someone could enlighten me on that

[@Ashari2609]

I saw some gameplay and you DO have to hide away from sonethings

[@sisterray7931]

Just finished the game, you do “hide” from the monsters but it felt more like a safe zone in a game of tag. Haven’t played the quarry, but if it’s like until dawn, it’s less of having a set group of characters that get picked off and more like going around the rig and seeing/meeting survivors and having them die or have them already dead, but you do have a brief pre-disaster part where your character interacts with others where you somewhat get to know them, at least by name.

[@StephenYuan]

I am currently 3 and a half hours in. There is one chase sequence so far and plenty of hiding.

[@ProjectPhoenix21]

@@StephenYuandefinitely more chase scenes later on too

[@CyberLance26]

It usually feels to me nowadays like the only reason why games are called walking simulators is because you dont shoot stuff with guns because there are many games where you must avoid enemies that tries to kill you and that got puzzles that you need to solve that are still called walking simulators.-

I’m about 90 mins so far and really enjoying it. The location and story are excellent - and it’s refreshing to have a cast of Scottish characters. Horror is great too, the only minor complaints are the navigation and the fact that Caz runs and jumps like an improv actor on meth.

[@Merlin_Price]

This is such a cool setting for a game. Surprised it hasn't been done more in the past.

[@blaymeister]

The star of this game is the environment. The rig, the people and the monster. The game itself is closer to an interactive rollercoaster. Enjoyable, but you're kind of along for the ride. Definitely worth experiencing if you've got gamepass, and does a great job making you feel deeply uneasy most of the time. Oh, and the unapologetically Scottishness and constant swearing are great too.

They’re very few and far between I’ll tell you that. It’s mostly like dangling wires and a couple on npc occurrences. I do hope they fix them though, seems like it shouldn’t be too much.

Really been looking forward to this one. It looks really interesting and fun in my opinion
