    Death
    Beware the waters, they hide a mysterious and terrifying threat. Death, an ancient Kraken leviathan haunts your every move in this tense underwater horror survival game. Fight to survive using powerful weapons and upgrades as you explore a beautiful yet treacherous underwater world.

    Death in the Water 2 at its core is a wave-based shooter but combines elements of terrifying horror and tension with heart-pounding adrenalin-fueled action.

    Will you escape the clutches of the Kraken, or will you join the endless ranks of the drowned?

    There’s a lot to like about Death in the Water 2, and it's a very impressive game coming from a 2-person game studio. But the things it lacks hamper the experience quite a bit, especially if you stick with it to the end.

    Good sense of immersion; Great art and sound design; Core gameplay loop is solid.

    Bad-
    Lack of enemy variety; Gameplay doesn’t evolve outside of new weapons and upgrades.

    Thoughts-
    Yes, Death in the Water 2’s experience is stymied by limited gameplay. However, it’s also important to note that Lighthouse Games appears to be iterating on this concept quite a bit. The original Death in the Water is a $2.99 Steam game where you shoot at the same sharks with the same speargun until you die. No Sirens, no interesting environments, and definitely no Kraken. Framed in this context, the jump from the first Death in the Water to its sequel is like going from a web-swinging Flash game to Spider-Man: Miles Morales. It’s the same concept, but it’s been improved and expanded upon so much that it’s a completely different thing. If Lighthouse Games ever makes a third Death in the Water game, the work they put into this sequel bodes well for the heights, or depths, the series can go to.

    -broken unfinished unpolished game.
    -blurr graphic, very very shallow repetitive gameplay, little enemies type, samy missions and annoying errors.
    -great effects and atmosphere.
