The community says

Loading between biomes is smooth and the sub controls hold up fine years later. Rank feels low given how well it plays today.

People keep pitting this against Fallout: New Vegas like they're the same kind of experience. One's about survival tension, the other about choices piling up, comparing them feels off.

SilentKid2003

Le classement mélange des expériences différentes, mais ça n'empêche pas ce jeu de tenir sa propre tension sans avoir besoin de choix qui s'accumulent
BossOwl1995

not sure why this sits at 467 with a 67% win rate, feels low for how much people praise it. the crafting loop is fun for a while but the back half drags and the tension just fades once you know the map

GlitchSniper98

J'ai eu le même souci que beaucoup ici, sauf que pour moi c'est la peur qui a disparu trop vite, pas l'intérêt du jeu.

my roommate would just watch me pilot the sub around while she did homework, she never touched the controller once

edwardo_schulist

Wait, so the tension just DISAPPEARS once you learn the map? I never felt that way, for me the fear came back every time I found a new biome, is that just me

Replying to LootAce

Correction, calm is exactly the point, it's basically a spa day with jump scares

Donato_1990

Disagree, the back half is where the real base building payoff kicks in.

LootAce

Puede ser, aunque a mí la calma no me molestó tanto.
BossPilot2

Sigue funcionando de maravilla como juego de exploración. Merece estar más arriba sin ninguna duda.

CritRunner70

merece estar más arriba pero seguimos hablando del puesto 467, qué casualidad
NeonKnight12

J'y ai joué pendant un été entier, seul avec un casque, sans savoir dans quoi je mettais les pieds. Je m'en souviens encore très clairement.

RetroSamurai

¿A alguien le pasó que tras Far Cry 3 este se siente más solitario en comparación (para mí eso pesó más que la historia)

Moral2003

recuerdo esa sensación de estar solo bajo el agua un verano entero, aunque a mí lo que más me marcó fue el silencio, no el miedo
