The Abyss Below

this game is alright tho the environment outside before you weld the front porthole shut is very plain with no foliage, rocks, etc. even though this game is inspired by iron lung I do like the secret & eerie chinese base under the water story along with their radio signals coming in every now and then adding to the mystery. voice acting is good too and the game ends on a cliffhanger as of right now with free update in development. game is very easy too unlike iron lung and I would say the abyss below is fine but not bad. I can't wait to meet xi jinping in chapter 2 https://youtu.be/l2QajoGeBHg

I have to admit this is just really quite bad. Every sighting of *things* underwater has clipped a quarter to three quarters of its entire body through the floor or the canyon walls. Every single oddity/creature/something. Some of them I could only see a tiny bit of the intended encounter as a result. This is incredibly low-effort and badly made and undermines itself with every intended spook. It's also poorly guided, constraining you to very limited options, single objectives, but with unclear locational triggers for progression so you can end up doing 'intelligent' exploration and miss that you were meant to simply go straight toward the danger into a very particular but entirely unmarked location to trigger the next stage of the objective. If you hug the walls of a sector mapping it out and trying to take the glimpses of giant dangerous creatures seriously, you can end up missing the triggers for 10+ minutes of bored circling, and as there's no real dynamism to encounters at least in the zones this happened, you run out of any real tension or interest. It's a copycat game, that much is very obvious, but to be clear I don't think the game it's copying is very good either - thi…

Its very short for its price and pretty straightforward too. A neutral recommendation, probably a better value when on sale.

Much much better of Iron Lung
