- Gaming Bolt5.0AVERAGE Still Wakes the Deep presented an intriguing tale to build off of, but Siren's Rest isn't it, wasting its lead's impressive performance and failing to provide any real - or interesting - answers.
- DarkZero7.0Players will find themselves engrossed in the eerie atmosphere and suspenseful moments that Still Wakes the Deep has to offer, even with the limitations of its linear structure and simple gameplay. Plus the game’s splendid visuals are a bonus that adds to the overall atmospheric setting.
- AnaitGames8.0Still Wakes the Deep logra que incluso quienes no sean aficionados de pasarlo mal se vean atraídos por una propuesta con una ambientación redonda y muy trabajada. En poco tiempo consigue que nos importen de verdad sus protagonistas y que mientras intentamos escapar con vida no dejemos de maldecir la maldita codicia que desató esta situación. El final supone un broche perfecto para rematar el impacto emocional de la historia y dejar un buen sabor de boca, pese al recuerdo a petróleo, sal y óxido que nos ha acompañado durante todo el viaje.
- Hey Poor Player8.0Still Wakes The Deep uses its unique setting to the absolute fullest, bringing something new to the horror genre that’s as bracingly refreshing as a breath of cool North Sea air. The gameplay is straightforward, and the playtime is short, but the atmosphere more than makes up for it. The sense of terror is as thick and impenetrable as the Scottish accents of the oil rig’s crew. If you’re looking for a brisk cinematic experience full of beautiful set pieces, brilliantly acted character work and monstrous thrills then I donnae ken how ye cae do better.
- GameCritics8.0Players wanting rich mechanics or complex play might not find much to enjoy here, but Still Wakes the Deep is a definite recommend to those who enjoy dramatic narratives and horror flavor.
- PlaySense8.0Still Wakes the Deep is een avontuur dat ongeveer zes uur duurt en je van begin tot einde weet te boeien. Dit vanwege de situatie die ontstaat, de doelen die je stelt of gesteld krijgt en natuurlijk de referenties naar het thuisfront. Gooi daar de boeiende setting van een boorplatform bij in een visueel mooie presentatie tegen uitstekende voice-acting en goed audiodesign, en er ontstaat een sfeervolle walking simulator die je zeker eens moet proberen. De adviesprijs van € 34,99 is misschien een tikkeltje aan de hoge kant, tegelijkertijd krijg je er wel goede kwaliteit voor terug. Still Wakes the Deep weet met zijn psychologische horror net die frisse draai aan het genre te geven, waardoor het de moeite waard is voor iedereen die dit soort games erg kan waarderen.
Gamer reviews
A game that would make John Carpenter blush.
What a game. I am not a fan of horror games, never was, never will. But I am a fan of horror movies. And this game provided such a great mix of horror movies like The Thing, Color out of Space and Harbinger Down. I want to start out first with the negatives before I go with the positives. First is the ending. What a bummer. I wont spoil it but lets just say, it feels like it was all for nothing. Second, is the quick-time events. With how the game feels so cinematic you tend to forget that their are quick-time events. It pulls you out of the immersion at times. Now for the positives. Its a bundle. its the dialogue, the music and the sequence and transition of events. What a thrill. It feels like you are not in a horror game but in a horror movie. The monster encounters are brilliant. The sounds they make truly sets the atmosphere of dread. This is a story driven game so I cannot explain much without spoiling the game. All I can say is, play this gem. This is so far, the best horror game of 2024.
