Still Wakes The Deep Review - A Solid Horror Story
Vložit

- The Chinese Room has delivered a string of solid horror (or horror adjacent) titles in the past and though Still Wakes the Deep doesn’t necessarily touch some of their heights, it’s still another notch on the belt for the studio.
Boasting an intriguing setting, Still Wakes the Deep builds a strong sense of place and atmosphere. Even though it doesn’t fulfil its setting’s potential from a horror perspective, it succeeds in telling a story that will keep you sufficiently engaged until the credits roll. It’s a pretty brief experience that is light on the gameplay side of things, but with a solid story, strong atmosphere, and excellent visuals, it’s still a game worth experiencing. - Hry
i love walking sims from time to time .. i will play it .. the settings in ocean is so haunting and exciting
I’m glad to see this overall is just seen as solid. There was a worry that I thought this was going to just be a big bomb, but this is my kind of thing nowadays. I get less and less time for gaming so something quick and simple, I’m in.
I'm with you on that one 💯
Accepting mediocrity is tight!
silent hill 2 got good story wait for remake you're gonna love it
@@dvdbox360 doesn't look great though but let's see if it's as good as the OG back on the PS2 ..
The voice acting and creature design is top notch
Today i tried it for 3 hours .. maaaaaan what a game and atmosphere i loved it
Same

I'm always up for a good horror story! Thanks for the review.
The game is amazing .. im so suprised how good it is ..
I haven’t heard anyone mention “A Color Out of Space” yet. Could be coincidental, but the entity here is crazy similar to the one from the film adaptation of that book, right down to the color scheme. If you like this game, definitely check that movie out
As a galsgow man myself I have too say the accuracy to the chat between them and the flag used is on point!. U can clearly see they consulted and listened to the Scottish cast when writing this.
Play it with headphones. It is really good if you like the horror genre.
Before it was released this game was described as an "upcoming survival horror" but now that I have watched your video I can clearly see it's more of a walking simulator. I don't think it is the fault of the developer it's just bad journalism.
I'm loving this game, one of the scariest I've played. The atmosphere especially in the first 3rd is amazing and the sound design is genuinely horrifying.
I felt the complete opposite.
It's linear, not at all scary & the environment is littered with hidden walls, obvious traversal clues & artificial barriers. The 'hide in locker' schtick is also very tired & overused now.
Let me grab a pipe or something to fight these monsters off. I mean there's zero interactivity going on. Meanwhile the script is simply Gerard Butler shouting F*CK every five seconds.
Modern 'games' suck.
@@cartermoth6447 So wrong
@@cartermoth6447 it isn't scary, but it's stressful as fuck. the tension in some of the sections is phenomenal
for me, theradbrad who got his success from playing games like amnesia and stuff said he liked it. 🤔 and him being a horror fan, makes me look at this positive. only negative i see is i hear the game is only like 6 hours long
just finished this and personally i think it was a 10/10 experience but it is a Walking sim which means its never as good after your first playthrough. Plan on getting my dad to play this though as he enjoys his horror.
JUST came out and finished it. Waste of money seems to me.
@@insertnamehere4419 Just because a game's short doesn't mean it isn’t good. The only thing this game left me wanting was more, and that's what I'd say is that means it's *good*
@@insertnamehere4419Not every game has be super long?
Favorite horror game of 2024 so far, bar none. The setting, feeling of hopelessness, and the creature all gave me The Thing, The Abyss, and Aliens vibes - all three in my top ten favorite films. This was fantastic!
I think I'll play it on game pass but I can easily say I would buy the game out right. It looks of a high quality.
Loved it, felt like playing a horror movie. In all the best ways.
mix of Lovecraft and John Carpenter's The Thing, game also has great audio
phenomenal game. best the chinese room have put out.
I played it today for a few hours and enjoyed it
The creature is awesome. I’ve been playing this when I I have time and am not doing Shadows of the Erdtree prep
Idk why but i thought this was a Alan Wake spinoff until recently 😂
Great game! Just finished it! Loved it, some confusing level
design and I would’ve like more puzzles but loved it!
Yay, it’s on GamePass! Downloading now…
It’s on day one game pass. I’ll play it tonight. It’s free.
It looks like Alien Isolation at sea.. Which is a win for me
Good review. Thank you
I'm playing now and it's dope af
I really enjoyed the game, characters and the story. I want more horror games more scary than this. The atmosphere is fantastic. The ideanof beingnon a oil rig with monsters was a great idea
Way too many games on the backburner to pick this up at the moment. Would be nice to evolve the walking sim genre a bit at this point. A neat mechanic, light gunplay, or making choices that matter would all go a long way to engage the player. Walking from point A to point C then to B for a scripted moment to occur and have this repeat for 10 hours just doesn't cut it anymore for me.
The Rig made a game 😮
This game is if “The Thing” meets “Alien isolation” I just completed it and other than the controls getting in my way twice, it was a superb game, my favorite of the year by far
It's only 8.63GB a small game.
Played yesterday, just enough scare for my old ass 😂
The PS2 and PS3 had the Best Horror Game Stories
Same could be said about horror movies
Current modern horror movies suck
@@gamefrk11523Exactly, for Horror Movies that was the 1980's but also for Music to
I'm guessing you haven't played it
What did the ps3 have?, apart from dead Space, genuine question

Game Pass Day One 💚👍
Why not buy the game ?
@@jack_knife-1478 I don't buy games anymore
@@bakednotfried1184 wow, that's pretty sad!
@@jack_knife-1478 your opinion
Just another reason Xbox is superior imo the great day one releases gamepass usually has. Even if it isn't day 1 they have a great library of gamesnof all genres. Even Mlb the show is a day kne game and it's made by sony. I wasn't a fan of ps plus when I tried it but gamepass is great
If you enjoy this kind of story you should watch the russian horror movie "The Superdeep". It´s the same thing. Of course, both are a rip off from The Thing.
I heard Russian. I'm in
Condemned sh*ts all over crap like this.
I recommend Xbox players grab a copy of that title if they want something truly unsettling & immersive.
Sounds like a 7 is too high. More like a 5.
A 5 sounds too low,a 7 is good
