Surviving the Abyss

This game is effing great, it's a shame people trash it for stuff that's water under the bridge at this point-- I personally don't care about what happened in development, I'm just here to play games. And this is a fantastic and very unique city builder. City builders are my favorite genre and I've played them all, and Surviving the Abyss is a much needed breath of fresh air. The reasons: --It's as much a horror/survival game as a city builder. No spoilers. --The ambience is GREAT, it feels like youre playing The Abyss or something. You just don't know what youre building next to and are always trying to put up lights to ease your mind, but this comes at the cost of much needed power, so you're in a constant fun state of weighing your options. --Unlike every other city builder where you're chopping lumber and mining etc same old same old, here you're exploring sunken points of interest, trying to make oxygen, acquire protein and carbohydrates, and find various novel genetic materials from the ocean floor to clone better super humans. --That's right, much of this game is about cloning and cloning-related mad science. On the ocean floor. In a massive city you're building. …

Another paradox game that was pushed out unfinished and left to die when they figured out they couldn't sell 400 dlc for it. Last early access I'll buy from them, avoid

boring not thought out

Definately not worth your time

not great but solid. rather short for a "city builder".

It's not that bad as it may seem from the reviews. It is unpolished and the ending feels rushed, the game can be finished in about 8 hours but with the 50% discount I think it's worth the price. I haven't seen any game-breaking bugs but there were some minor ones, mostly tunnel pathing related. All things considered, get it on sale.
