April 2025
I saw this game mentioned in the comments of a video of Sseth about Space Station 13 and wanted to play it ever since then. A few months ago, an old friend of mine and I decided to play it together while reconnecting after a long time. I like this game because it greatly rewards good communication, realistic planning and wise decisions. The way you cooperate with others has many layers and you can learn a lot about yourself this way. It was kinda hard to get a solid group going after my friend went back to his other games. I started visiting random private servers. But it can be hard to find a public server with a good host. So I started my own public server. I put in the effort to be a good but serious captain, to motivate earnest people and quickly sort out problematic randoms and to plan forward and keep morale high. With a good amount of patience and diligent, perpetuous attention, I built a solid server out of the random players who came at different times during the weekend. We now have a Steam groupchat and a Discord server. We recently finished the campaign, too, which I didn't get to do with the old friend nor in singleplayer. We bonded over all kinds of terrible situations and epic clutches. Every single one of us grew in the process. We got to know each other in our highs and lows and learned how to talk about everything with mercy as well as severity. And above all, we learned to function as a team in all kinds of situations. This is exactly the experience I was hoping for and I am very glad that I took the leap of hosting my own server. Barotrauma is obviously a very niche game and it is a niche I uniquely enjoy. I believe that cooperative multiplayer games with great freedom and complexity like this one bring out the whole spectrum of human behaviour. That is too much for most people, but I enjoy it because it means freedom and opens up the possibility for exchanges and experiences which would otherwise not be possible. It does take effort to take the brunt of all the strange, dishonest, sadistic or also just kinda daft and unworkable people, to fairly talk it out with all of them, give everyone their just "trial" while keeping up the energy (and managing a submarine of eight other people at the same time), but it rewards you with friends who will stick around for some really crazy unexpected rounds of Europan madness. It can feel very punishing but also very rewarding. I haven't really played with any serious mods yet, but there are good community mods which easily add another hundred hours to the normal campaign, new enemies, weapons, pets, all kinds of items, even musical instruments and much more. The community is wacky, but I kinda like it. The memes are funny. It's probably not for everyone, but I am very happy with this game.

Was doing a dive and all of a sudden, no one was responding on comms. Went back to the sub and found out it blew up and everyone died.

If you've never experienced running a nuclear reactor, going off to go fix something when the captain asks, coming back to the nuclear reactor, getting hit in the jugular by a 10 inch spike fired from outside the ship by nightmares beyond your comprehension, slowly bleeding out while the medic is trying to put out all the fires (plot twist they only exist in his head), and watch as the ship clown enters the reactor room, alarms start blaring, and the nuclear reactor detonates, instantly vaporizing the entire ship (and the contingent of immortal zombies lurking outside it). Then play this game, that'll happen

The highest Fun is not to seek or create Fun, but to allow yourself to become it. The serious person seeks to do Fun things, and finds that they cannot do them continually. The serious person tries to squeeze all the Fun out of the lemons they've been given, only to find the juice is sour. Praise the Honkmother.

this is by far my favorite game ever. Barotrauma looks simple, but there's so much you can do. Take the reactor for example. It isn't just a thing that you put a fuel rod in and everything has power, it sends its power through actual wires that can be rerouted, added to new things, or just fully removed and splits it up through actual junction boxes that can break. If you have the manpower you can manually control the reactor, changing how much heat it produces and how much power it makes, making it (ideally) more efficient and easing out the power fluxuations that turn off lights or overvolt devices. (or you can turn fission all the way up and turbine all the way down and blow it up, but you didn't hear that from me.) wires dont just transfer power btw. you can set up systems that range from showing a display of how much fuel is in the reactor to a lever that makes all the light strobe RGB. that's all just wiring. there's a medical system, ship upgrades, crafting and deconstructing, pulling off an away mission without a hitch is an artform, you get the point. or you can just say "fuck all that" and be a clown, get clown powers and become powerful enough to kill god. there's so much other things that can happen, too. this game can go from 0-100 in an instant. if the game looks fun to you, get it. if it dosen't look fun to you, get it anyway. there's plenty of mods that can fix any problem you could possibly have with the game. hell, there's a mod that adds an incredibly realistic medical system. that's one of the more popular ones, along with a mod that turns everyone into busty anime women. in short, game pog.
