I'm already loving this game. I did start playing it at night so I chickened out and am going to try and finish it while it's light out lol

I really want to like XCloud, is perfect for someone like me with a good internet connection but not a 4k TV to tell the different in pixels, but sometimes it feels weird. I don't know if you can tell from a picture alone, but it kinda feels like playing directly from a YouTube video. In retrospective, that was a …

I don't know if you can tell from a picture alone, but it kinda feels like playing directly from a YouTube video. In retrospective, that was a fantasy of mine when I was a little boy.

Spooktober 2024 Game #9 Complete!

This game had some interesting ideas, but overall I wasn't crazy about it.

Finished the game. The presentation is fantastic and I enjoyed it for a while. At the end I was ready to be done, though I am not as much a fan of experience oriented games with limited gameplay. The ending seemed a bit artificial giving a happy moment to the main character as he sacrificed himself, which didn't quite jive with the progression of his failing relationship with his wife. I understand what they were going for at the end of Still Wakes the Deep and it reminds me of the ending of Last of Us Part 2 with the final flashes of Joel in Ellie's mind that cause her to spare Abbie's life. . But Last Of Us felt somehow more natural in that event, if that is even a thing.

I like the concept of this game more than the actual game. It has a great setup for the main character, perfect location, and fun dialect. The slow start to get to the action makes the horror elements more meaningful but without feeling too forced. You meet most of the crew in your day to day life before horrible things start happening.

The gameplay is mostly platforming, find the switch, and run away from the monsters. It works well, but after a couple hours it is wearing thin. About half way in there is no deep plot to uncover nor significant clues as to what the nature of the terror is. While that is okay it makes little less compelling to see it thru. However I do want to know how the main character solves the background drama in his life.

I take umbrage with the the fact that the two mechanical dishwashers are located on the complete opposite side of the work area from the KP station in the staff canteen kitchen, which makes zero sense from both a safety and practicality perspective. They also don't appear to be plumbed in, so maybe they are not installed? Otherwise, B+ marks …

I take umbrage with the the fact that the two mechanical dishwashers are located on the complete opposite side of the work area from the KP station in the staff canteen kitchen, which makes zero sense from both a safety and practicality perspective. They also don't appear to be plumbed in, so maybe they are not installed? Otherwise, B+ marks to The Chinese Room for designing a mostly realistic kitchen work area. Kind of makes me nostalgic of my old life back in Scotland.

I can't understand why so many people are giving this game 3's. It's length (or lack thereof) certainly keeps it from standing up to other giants in the genre, but the story and attention to detail make this game such a treat. I'm rating it a 5 to bring it's score up and hoping that others give it a try. …

I can't understand why so many people are giving this game 3's. It's length (or lack thereof) certainly keeps it from standing up to other giants in the genre, but the story and attention to detail make this game such a treat. I'm rating it a 5 to bring it's score up and hoping that others give it a try. My actual rating is a 4/5.

When it's on sale for $20 or less this should be an instant buy for anyone who loves a good story.

The decision to translate colloquialisms is... a choice.

Side note, I guess I'm waiting for the July patch to resolve GamePass technical issues (not the first time a version on GamePass is older than versions available elsewhere and matches the console version of the game). Ignore the hyperbole from commenters on that thread, the important thing is that the devs …

Played the first couple hours of this and uh... It kinda fuckin rules?

I was scared it would be another "grandmother's footsteps" horror game like Amnesia, but no, it's kinda unique. You could almost call it a walking sim with action segments cut in.

No spoilers, but I will probably be finishing this one, and the use of horror as allegory for workplace safety is kinda fuckin brilliant, and my blue collar ass is loving what they've made here.

I bought it physical on PS5, but it's also on Game Pass. PUT THIS ON YOUR RADAR.
