I'm a pretty big fan of AAA presentation in games but I have to admit that I'm hardly noticing the lower-quality graphics. The story's been fairly interesting and the game uses a nice variety of various minigames to achieve various mission goals - they're usually quite fun. As a former US Navy member there's a lot that's silly here but the basic bones of the Sub aren't that wrong and the Sonar portion of the game is slightly reminiscent of that old classic, Red Storm Rising by MicroProse (if anyone even remember that fun game from way back in the day). This is quite a good adventure game and an excellent value so far. Definitely recommended. Thanks to the Developer for this cool game!
It was a short, fun game! Voice acting was pretty good overall, and Michaels voice was very calming and I wanted nothing bad to happen to him. I was engrossed in the story and found myself enjoying the rather simple crew management and sonar sections. It looks like the small number choices have a meaningful impact on the day-to-day actions leading up to the finale too. Unfortunately, the ending felt a little anti-climactic for me and I wasn't invested in every character, but I was happy I got the "good" ending on my first try at least. It's also inspiring me to try out Static Dread: The Lighthouse,
fun game interesting characters, but the story felt repetitive and lacked meaningful dialogue that could've added more depth to it. And the route planner was intentionally awful forcing you to do the hull repair task which was kinda annoying. Also shirtless Michael was hot, but at what cost...
Initial impressions, a step forward and a step backward from the first game. On one hand, the gameplay is better. The tedious resource management is largely gone, replaced by managing crew and having to do the odd minigame. No where near as annoying as the first game's constant cobwebb/spooky paint smear patrol. There's also at least one moment where you actually have to deal with a monster. Admittedly it's a pretty clunky "lure the monster into a trap" moment, but hey it's still better than the first game. The step backward is, sadly, in the story department The first game had a wonderful sense of pacing, as a sense of dread built up toward the final reveal of the eldritch horror. This game seems to entirely lack this, with there being no real pacing. One moment you're dealing with a potential reactor meltdown then, almost out of nowhere, it's "oh by the way our sub has reached an ancient submerged city" with no real buildup. Disappointing. It also lacks the feeling of impending civilizational collapse the first game had. You do get a tiny glimpse into the state of the surface world, but it's not as interesting. Even the ending felt kind of lacking. It wasn't a "It was all just a dream", but it felt very close. The characters get a magical do over and all just kind of say "Well, let's not do that again." THE END. Anticlimactic if you ask me, especially since it lacked epilogue slides like the first game had. I do want to stipulate that this might be my fault. I did miss several submarine upgrades that would have revealed more information about the state of the world and I *might* have missed a lot of the content by accidentally skipping story bits due to a choice I made. But if I did I find that annoying. Not a bad game, but not as enjoyable as the first. Still recommended. Pick it up.
