Still Wakes The Deep is one of those games that you don't expect, but which manage to grab you deeply.
This horror adventure goes straight to the point and tells us its story in a convincing way. Not especially remarkable gameplay-wise , but its narrative tide will drag you in.

If you’re as thalassophobic as I am, you play in the dark and you live alone? Well, you’ll definitely still get a lot out of it, but you’ll also score a temporary paranoia that renders every shadow and rustling noise in your house a potential threat – in the best way.
Impeccably weaving Lovecraftian horror with real human emotion, Still Wakes the Deep is a fantastic, tense tale that we're not going to forget in a hurry. It's just the right amount of horrifying in all the right places, brought to life with characters who feel as believable as people you'd meet on the street. Only a few technical issues bring it down a little, but they're not enough to truly sully the experience.
Though some tension is lost in the binary and sometimes simplistic encounters with the creature, its physical makeup, and behavior are the game's best aspects and rise to be deeply unsettling, if not terrifying. All of this makes Still Wakes The Deep a story that memorably tugs on your heart, starring a monster eager to tear it out.
Still Wakes the Deep feels more like a film than a game. Its very simple gameplay sometimes obstructs and delays the well-written mysterious story that focuses on human minds. This harrowing horror shines best in moments without interaction, supported by excellent visuals and top-notch voice acting. It would work much better as a different medium.
Still Wakes the Deep tries to dig beneath the surface of Caz and
his crewmates, but doesn’t go far enough. Without a sufficiently
riveting story, we’re left with a horror premise that feels like it’s
been done before and more questions than answers at the end of the
slog.
I almost never play horror games. I almost exclusively play strategy games, so the fact that this title, which is first-person and constantly walks the line between eerie and downright terrifying, completely had me rapt for hours is notable. I almost never finish games, but this struck the perfect balance in terms of pacing, horror, tension, and every other aspect of game design. The levels and artwork were beautifully crafted, and I'm writing this now at almost 3 AM having stayed up late to finish the game. Amazing storyline, beautiful yet alien design... 10/10

The gameplay is completely absent, leaving you the duty to move a stick sometimes. Still, played the whole game and had somehow fun. Interesting setting.

(MY SCORE : 7.5 /10) This First-Person Survival Horror Game which is quite exciting and quite tense relies on stealth as well as run, jump and climb to get past opponents and steep areas! We play Electrician Cameron "Caz" McLeary, who is trapped in a destroyed oil rig! And we have to "Stealth and Sneak" sneak past the Monster which turns out to be a mutation of his co-workers! And Caz only relies on "Throw" objects to distract the monster!
