The real review

The game's atmosphere is its one clear win — people loved the deep-sea Lovecraft vibe. Otherwise, it's a divisive mess. The story and value are okay, but the gameplay feels clunky and the difficulty is frustratingly unbalanced. Performance is the real killer, with constant crashes and bugs on PC and Xbox, which is why the developer's getting absolutely roasted online. It's a cool concept that mostly doesn't work.
