Atmosfera muito forte. Jogar com fones é meio caminho para ficar desconfortável. O oceano aberto, a visibilidade limitada e os sons fazem um excelente trabalho a criar tensão.

O problema é que passado umas horas começa a ficar repetitivo. Os inimigos e as situações não variam muito, e o gameplay não evolui o suficiente para manter o interesse por muito tempo. Ainda assim, nas primeiras horas é bastante divertido e intenso.

Vale a pena em promoção. A preço completo, já custa mais justificar.

Got this game on sale and what an absolute bargain.
The game is loads of fun, yes it can get a little repetitive, however for a game made by only two people (thats what it said when I launched the campaign) this is really really well done. Highly recommend. Also took me roughly four hours to beat the main campaign because squid-senpai kept inking me.

Now that's a shark game. An unbelievable improvement over the first one, the weapons are powerful, the graphics are solid, and the physics are great, but the stars undoubtedly are the sharks. Each shark acts differently and looks menacing in their own way. The Mako, for example, is insanely creepy, with hell-sent bulging eyes, but if you look straight at it, it will flee and try to flank you. The White Shark is a tank that will come after you in a straight line 24/7, no questions asked.

The gore is awesome too, with reactive physics based on impact direction, scars at the point of impact, impalements, and decent bleeding.

The game has levels that work pretty much the same but get harder. It's not incredible or revolutionary, but it's a good excuse to kill some water-dwellers. Much better than the huge amount of nothing we had in the first game. Maybe DITW3 will have some solid structure, story, and real levels? Who knows! I'd be really excited for that.

This is a solid game, could've been THE BEST Shark Game out there, but for some stupid reason, the devs decided to use GenAI for the "arts" and voice acting… It looks and feels vomit-inducing to look at this, I'd rather have a black photo or literally nothing than that AI garbage. The voice acting is just artificial, it's meh, but it didn't bother me as much as the "arts."

Bring a DLC with all the arts remade in 30 seconds using only Paint, and I'd buy it in a second.

You guys have a good game and a good reputation, stop ruining it with Generative AI slop.

Cheers.

An sich ein interessantes Game tolle Atmosphäre sehr düster aber es ist halt immer dasselbe Haie töten usw & Geld bzw Gold gibt es nur wenn man Schatzkisten findet die sehr gut versteckt sind
nach dem 6-7 Tauchgang hat man keine Lust mehr was echt schade ist man hätte aus dem spiel so viel mehr rausholen können z.b Unterwasser -Forschungsteam Mini Uboot mit mehreren Tauchern
oder Unterwasser -Forschungsstation Rätselhafte Todesvorfälle dann trifft man auf mermaid monster.....

English:
The core concept of Death in the Water 2 is actually good, but the game is incredibly repetitive. I get that they might have used AI heavily and that is the trend nowadays, but I played until the end of Dive 7 and it is always the exact same thing: go here, go there, get 3 chests. Some sea creatures die to a single harpoon shot, others take multiple, but there is no real purpose. I feel like I am just wandering around aimlessly.

Even if we ignore the lack of story, the upgrade system is poorly balanced. I reached the end of Dive 7 and still could not afford a single new weapon. You just cannot save up proper money. You get such a small amount each round that after buying just 1 or 2 upgrades, you are completely broke. The economy is terrible. Additionally, the round ends immediately after you kill everything. Just let me peacefully go and collect the remaining chests, but no. Also, chests show up on the compass above, but they are incredibly hard to spot in the environment. I know not everything should be easy, but they could have added an upgrade for, let's say 2500 coins, to make chests more visible.

The game feels unfinished, like it is still in a beta state. There are a few bugs; I can ignore those since I have seen much worse, but the game just feels too empty. I could not refund it because I bought it a long time ago and left it in my library, so I just kept the game open to drop trading cards. I gave it 2 chances because I did not want to judge it too quickly on my first run, but it got really boring the second time. Finally, losing your multiplier just because you close the game is not cool. It should stay as long as you are alive. It would make much more sense if it only reset along with your points when you die. If you really want to try it, grab it on sale, but honestly, it does not even justify 2 hours of playtime.

Türkçe:
Death in the Water 2'nin temel mantığı aslında güzel ama oyun inanılmaz derecede kendini tekrar ediyor. Tamam, yapay zekadan epey faydalanmış olabilirler, devir artık oraya gidiyor ama Dive 7'nin sonuna kadar geldim ve oyun hep aynı: şuraya git, buraya git, 3 sandık topla. Bazı deniz canlıları zıpkınla tek yiyor, bazıları birden fazla vuruş istiyor tamam da oyunda bir amaç yok, boş boş geziyorum.

Hadi hikayesinin olmamasını geçtim, upgrade sistemi de hiç iyi düzenlenmemiş. Dive 7'nin sonuna gelmeme rağmen 1 tane bile yeni silah alamadım. Adamakıllı para biriktirmek imkansız. Her el elime o kadar az para geçiyor ki, anca 1 veya 2 tane upgrade yapınca para sıfırlanıyor. Ekonomi sistemi gerçekten çok kötü. Ayrıca haritadaki her şeyi vurduktan sonra turun anında bitmesi sinir bozucu. Bırakın da sakince gidip kalan sandıkları toplayalım, ama yok. Sandıklar yukarıda görünüyor ama etrafta bulmak çok zor. Tamam her şey çok kolaylaştırılmasın ama en azından 2500 altın gibi bir fiyata sandıkları daha belirgin yapan bir upgrade eklenebilirdi.

Oyun sanki bitmemiş, hala beta sürümünde gibi hissettiriyor. Birkaç bug var, hadi onları çok dert etmiyorum (daha beterlerini gördüm) ama oyunun içi biraz boş kalmış. Çok uzun zaman önce alıp kenara attığım için iade edemedim, o yüzden sırf kart düşsün diye oyunu açık bıraktım. Oyuna 2 kere şans verdim, ilk oynayışımda hemen kötü bir karara varmak istemedim ama ikincisinde gerçekten sıktı. Son olarak, oyunu aç kapa yapınca çarpanın gitmesi hiç hoş değil. Ölmediğin sürece kalmalıydı. Sadece ölünce puanla birlikte sıfırlansa çok daha mantıklı olurdu. İndirimde denemek isterseniz alın ama bence 2 saatlik oynama süresini bile hak etmiyor.

I bought it thinking this was more of a story-horror-survival game, cause that's what the trailer led me to believe, but its more of an arcade shooter but the enemies are fish.

It's not terrible by any means, and it has some great features. The movement feels very realistic, and the sound design is AMAZING. With good headphones it felt very immersive.

The cons, the gameplay is meh and gets old pretty quick. Plus, there is AI generated icons and art, with is a real disappointment. I get its a small studio, but come on, hire an artist.

It's a decent buy on sale, I had fun streaming it to some friends and getting jumpscared by sharks

Death in the Water 2 — игра, которая одним названием обещает “подводный хоррор”, и, к сожалению, выполняет обещание слишком буквально: вода тут реально перестаёт быть твоим другом. Ты ныряешь за сокровищами и апгрейдами, а где-то рядом уже крутится “умный” кракен/хищники, которые реагируют на движение и превращают любое лишнее резкое решение в паническую сцену из фильма. Сильная сторона — атмосфера: давление глубины, ограниченные ресурсы, постоянное ощущение, что ты в чужой среде и тебя тут не ждали. Плюс прогрессия с улучшениями приятно мотивирует — ещё заплыв, ещё лут, ещё “ну давай, я аккуратно”. Если любишь хоррор не скримерами, а тревогой и преследованием — это прям в точку.
