    An emotive story that is equal parts terrifying and traumatic.

    This is a great, if short, horror game with impeccable looks and fantastic atmosphere. It's scary and full of character, but with a barely five-hour run time your enjoyment could depend on what you paid for it.

    Still Wakes the Deep is a gripping horror game set on a doomed oil rig, delivering intense atmosphere and a strong narrative. The game excels in creating tension and dread, but its linear progression and predictable scares may not resonate with everyone. It’s a well-crafted experience for horror fans, though it might feel rigged from the start for those looking for more surprises.

    Still Wakes the Deep is an entertaining game from start to finish, without any filler, and audiovisually very good, which takes us to an original setting to tell us a more than well-known story. Taking into account that as a walking simulator or narrative adventure it relies completely on what it tells, we believe that the story is not strong enough to support all the weight, and relies too much on an ending that we found very good to be able to justify its existence. This does not mean that we had a great time, and we enjoyed the almost six hours that it lasted, especially thanks to a very successful ending that knows how to close to leave a very good taste in our mouths.

    Still Wakes The Deep has a hauntingly well-realised setting in its North Sea oil rig, propped up by stellar sound and environmental design. Caz’s story carried some genuinely emotive moments, even if the backstory feels slightly underdeveloped and while the moment-to-moment stealth and navigation lack the depth of an ocean, they’re still deeper than the puddle many in the genre fall into. You’ll come for the nightmare, but stay for the rig.

    While Still Wakes the Deep offers up its fair share of thrills, railroad-style level design, a short runtime, and a surprisingly superficial story result in an experience that may entertain in the moment, but will likely be forgotten rather quickly. Still Wakes the Deep may well float your boat at a discount, but there are better, scarier fish in the sea.
