Gameplay: 8/10Tension, release, repeat.Action packed, high paced gamplay juxtaposed to a dark/gloomy atmosphere brings for delightful experience. 6 million ways to die, choose one. Story: 10/10No need for a prologue, or any dialogue for that matter. The narrative & plot are perfectly executed using only images. Every obstacle reveals a little bit more of the story. Eventually unravelling itself to be a Black Mirror-esque critique on capatalist realism. Making the last 20% of the game truly satisfiying. Controls: 10/10Minimal, efficient.Emotion: 10/10Haunting, dark, and at times quite humourous.Design: 10/10The design & aestheic alone justifies the price. All of the underwater sequences are truly breathtaking, as in, I found myself literally holding my breath on numerous occasions. Game physics & mechanics are on point, a major part of the gameplay experience. Difficulty: 8/10Fairly easy game to get through, 4-5 hours, although some puzzles can be quite time consuming. Audio: 10/10Ominous industrial drones devour evil robotic chicks. The groans of a 1000 subhuman entities fill cavernous spaces. Plunge down into the depths of near silence to find yourself dodging meat pulverising subsonic blasts. In otherwords, put on some good headphones because the audio is a MAJOR part of this experience. What more can I say? Buy this game. Love this game. Play this game!-Boomer Reviews
