Jun 23, 2024Still Wakes the Deep is an impeccable horror production, a gorgeously sickening nightmare in a rarely used setting propelled by stellar acting and sublimely nasty body horror. It’s more than just “The Thing on an oil rig,” though it makes good on that elevator pitch too. It’s going to remain with me for a long time. A true genre classic.

Jun 17, 2024Still Wakes the Deep is wonderfully, authentically Scottish – even the carpets on the Beira D oil rig are tartan. It's also a singularly immersive and utterly memorable piece of work that's among The Chinese Room's very best.

Jun 17, 2024Although the first few bars didn't tell me much about the title except that it looked like another walking simulator with scares, it was the complete package that left me excited. The combination of a very powerful visual aspect, an incredible sound fidelity, a rhythm that encourages you to know more and an action that catches you, results in Still Wakes the Deep being one of the best cinematographic style titles you can find. Nowadays.

Jun 17, 2024Atmospherically gripping but playfully shallow oil rig horror trip with engaging sound design.
-
Jun 17, 2024The Chinese Room has succeeded brilliantly with their original pitch of The Thing on an oil rig, while infusing the horror with the emotion that characterised a game like Everybody's Gone to the Rapture. It's the kind of game that, with relatively few mechanics, manages to create immersion with great sound design, evocative visuals and believable storytelling.
-
Jun 17, 2024The Chinese Room returns with its most ambitious game in nearly a decade: a terrifying, lovecraftian experience that shines at the tension moments and setting, but not always delivering in the narrative side.
-
Jun 26, 2024Still Wakes the Deep is a fun romp for its short playthrough. The lack of environmental storytelling and exploration is really where it falls apart. Still, this being on Game Pass makes it worth checking out for sure. I enjoyed my time with it, but I don’t think it will stick with me like titles such as Soma and Amnesia have.
