Still Wakes the Deep review
by bigbaddice

[7/10] Still Wakes The Deep is a moody journey through a monster-infested oil rig—a highly detailed experience full of claustrophobic corridors, questionable lighting, and strange sounds coming from behind the walls. It’s just a shame the developers didn’t fine-tune the pacing a bit more, as the atmosphere tends to slip away amid the slow gameplay. That said, I still had a fantastic time with the game and I’m glad I got to dive into another Lovecraft-inspired horror, even if it leans more toward a simple walking simulator than a truly intense horror experience. I don’t regret the time I spent with Still Wakes The Deep, even if it turned out to be a different kind of game than I expected.

This was a great narrative horror game. As far as gameplay and doing anything overly new for genre it doesn't go overboard but the story and the voice acting are very good. The gameplay is what you'd expect from this type of game with a little bit of vertical traversal mechanics. I enjoyed the blend of mechanical problem solving between its monster segments. The traversal mechanics could be finicky at times. The story is very compelling. Not revealing too much of the mystery as well as the setting really work for the atmosphere of the game. Where this game really shines for me is the voice acting. Everyone in the game does a great job but the main character's actor does such a good job conveying the horror and fatality of his situation. Everything from the Irish shorthand to startled moments of almost falling to his death are all delivered so well and realistically. Id recommend this game to any horror lover. It's a short but tight experience. The $35 price point is nice as well.
«That ending!»
