To be totally fair. I love the genre. I bought Raft and both of "The Forest" titles when in early access, when the story wasn't even really fleshed out. I was patient with both titles and those dev teams. They are not triple A studios. What set them apart for me was listening to player feedback. Both titles had a story in mind and worked towards that as the goal of releasing it farther than "early access". Right now i LOVE the "Waterworld" feel of the game. I love the amount of decorations. Even the character customization is very good, far better than what "Raft" or "Sons" gave you. But. I feel the dev team here is focusing on gadgets and mechanics over any meaningful content. I have beaten what you have given me. I don't need you implementing broken machines/ mechanics at the expense of a meaningful story line. There is nothing for me to do other than grind resources for no reasonable reward. Sure, I can build a gyro copter that is painfully hard to control, but why? Where am I going to fly to? As of the last update news, they are attempting to implement customizable ships and the mechanics there. Who am I going to fight? Why do I want or need a ship that has no current function? Again, I respect and love what the dev's here are attempting, but as a veteran of MANY different survival games, I can't give this title full support when there has actually been redaction of content in favor of pushing fluff (they removed quests already implemented in earlier versions). Pros- Love the atmosphere, great feel to it. If you want to decorate your base like "waterworld" this is your game. Resource grinding isn't that difficult. Fun to just build and explore areas. Cons- Content at the moment is minimal, the world seems very empty. You can easily defeat all of the enemies with very little effort. No story line to speak of, No news on that from the dev team. Again, why do I need a patrol boat to fight enemies already dead with no point in mind? At the moment I can give this 3 of 5. Mostly positive. I have hopes that the dev team will refocus on story and content over fluff. Yes I want customizable ships. Yes I want naval combat, but against WHOM, and WHY?

It's a decent game right now, and has potential to be way better. I have fun with it and it's a nice vibe, but it needs a lot of work to really be at it's full potential. It's early access, so most of the things are likely to be brushed out with time. Right now just expect a lot of clunky mechanics and gameplay. - You need a tool to pickup a teddy bear, and this summarizes a lot of the mechanics. They don't feel quite fluid yet, and there feels like a disconnect between you and the environment. | - Most of the buildings underwater dont have interiors, that is just lazy. It's really disappointing that I can't explore flooded apartments when I spent 20 minutes heading towards them. - Why does my house cost an entire forest and an axe cost an entire tree? Wood is way too scarce. - Building is way too grid-based, foundations are way too high off the ground, and your structures can't mingle with the environment at all. They look out of place. There should be a grid mode, and a free-place mode. What if I want a half-roof sticking out of a side of a cliff with a little couch as a nice chill spot while it rains? Too damn bad. Extremely limiting. (Props can be placed in a free-place mode. Building pieces should work the same) - The enemies just... aren't fun. I don't know how else to elaborate on that. They spawn way too quickly and in impossible places, they'll just appear behind you from a corner out of thin air. - Dying at night with a random spawn will send you straight into the ocean, where you will likely die again by instantly starting to freeze to death. - Scuba gear should only activate below a certain depth. It's a little annoying losing part of a tank because you dunked your head for half a second. I think eventually, if the developer continues to work, I can change my review. It's not a bad game by any means, I just don't recommend spending money in it's current state.

Paid $30. Recommend it... for further development of story. ==The Competition== It's much better than Star Wars Outlaws. It's a joy to jump back into Sunkenland and advance your character. ==Gameplay== =Grind= The idea of retrieving underwater resources is.... well... it's taxing. What makes it more taxing is that the game isn't prepared to allow you to improve your ability to gather underwater resources. The enjoyment from retrieving ingredients is... well.. it's good up until the later stages of the game. =Combat= It's fun, well, it's fun once you get all of the weapons. The process of getting all of the weapons will take you minimum of 40+ hours. =Raids= You get raided by gradually increasing difficulty NPCs. Frankly, it's annoying more than an opportunity to advance your character. ==Tips== 1) Place numerous beds around the map. When you die, you can quickly retrieve and resume the mission from one of those beds. 2) Roam. Do exactly what your spouse doesn't want you to do. Play the field. Go to new areas. Punch above your weight class. Hit it and quit it. Get what you need and get out. 3) Get your storage going on a central base. ==Overall== Buy it. It's fun. But to the developers, please treat current state as if it's one long tutorial for the actual game. Give us missions. Give us bonuses for completing missions. Thank you overall for what it is and recommend it to everyone who enjoys investing into their character.

I really hope they make a massive change, cause as is, its got a very great mechanic turned sad. example=You travel across the map, with ur brand new oxygen tank, excited as hell to explore that promising ruins filled with loot, ur underwater 30 seconds and now ur oxygen tank is empty, congratulations your tank is now useless and u must travel all the way back home to fill it up and get another 30 seconds...... BRUH what oxygen tank was this based off of, cause i dont know any that last 30 seconds, thats not even enough time to scavange 4 cars. Thats my only complaint tbh

A goog bit of fun for a while. The game is somewhat unrefined and has still a long way to go, but potential is there. Pros: -Exploring the map is actually quite fun, the underwater areas are pretty well designed. -Base building is pretty good and you can do all sorts of cool stuff -I like grindy game, and Sunkenland has some grinding but not as much that it would be intolerable to anyone. -Unlocking stuff is done in a OK fun way, finding blueprints on locations. -Trading in a barter way fits the theme, even if it can be a bit weird at times. Cons: -Combat is absolutely awful in every way possible, enemies shoot trough covers, if enemies are even near some cover you canĀ“t kill them because invisible walls eat your bullets, AI is super anoying: enemies just run spradic and "aimbot" you while making them almost impossible to hit. Base raids are also just a pain in the butt rather than a cool mechanic they could be. -Has no real endgame, when you get all the blueprints, thatĀ“s pretty much it. You can still raid enemy bases and keep building your base, but thatĀ“s it. I hope that the devs will keep on working on this one, like i said the potential is there. And even in itĀ“s current state the 15-20ā¬ this game goes for i think itĀ“s still worth it.
