Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
88 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Strap the basebuilding but embrace the exploration, have a load of "bosses" and dangers etc.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
71 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The underwater scenery, lighting effects, creature animations, sound design and underwater player movement are worthy of a AAA tile, lending itself to photo realism.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
58 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
A lot has changed since - shooting is now more interesting thanks to the different types of weapons we have and there are also more enemy types.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
38 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Great lighting, eerie sound design, and realistic sea life create constant suspense.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I will be looking forward to future content for this game, perhaps even a co-op multiplayer mode and the inclusion of the Hydra that got scrapped *apparently* due to poor reception.
