Pick a different game.This is a story-based game, where actually paying attention is important.It's got good music, creatures, storyline, atmosphere.It's entertaining for hours on end.It's a GOOD game.But I can see where it wouldn't be for everyone.It's certainly for me though.. It's important to know I'm not a big fan of reading games. That might be because most reading games, don't write their stories very well. That's not true when it comes to Sunless Sea.Recently picked it up to stream, and I will admit it's not a fantastic game to stream as it's VERY slow paced with A LOT of reading to do. However, this is exactly why you should pick it up.Every location is incredibly well written, and the stories told are fantastic and really draw me in. I can't think of a single port where I wasn't enthralled and didn't care to know more. It's all fascinating, and the choices you make feel great. There are certainly moments where you are sweating over "Should I try this? It will end me if I do... But, I must know more!"The best game I can compare this too, is a board game called Arkham Horror. If you enjoy that sorta thing, this is definitely a game for you and I don't mean that by atmospheric quality. I mean you go to ports and you draw cards almost (almost) like you would in Arkham Horror, but with a touch more control.Give it a whirl, if you're the person above. If you're looking for a very strategic RPG with ships in a dark setting, this may not be the game for you. It's mechanics are not that fantastic. However, to me, that is not why you play this game. This is a game definitely played for exploring it's many rich stories as best you can before you drown at sea.. Atmospheric and absorbing. The main feature of the game is the setting and lore which you explore, which are bizarre and fascinating; when there's a lull in discovery and you're just crawling from port to port, it gets a bit grind-y. I love it but if you're the "hardcore gamer" type it's unlikely to appeal to you.. A true exercise in tedium. The concept is great and the game world is well done, but the execution is sorely lacking. This game follows a 'trial and death' approach in the same fashion as Limbo (which is a phenomenal game btw) but rather than each death taking 30-90 seconds, Sunless Sea's iterations take anywhere from 45 minutes to 3 hours. If the idea of slowly (excruciatingly, painfully slowly) exploring a portion of a mysterious map for a couple hours only to get randomly and instantaneously killed by a new enemy that has spontaneously appeared in a previously safe area so that you can slowly repeat the entire process all over again is appealing to you, you will love this game. Otherwise I recommend steering clear. Note that the game is only minutely pseudorandom in map and story generation, so you are basically literally replaying the exact same content over and over again with extremely minor variations as you slowly progress, only to get killed by some random event and restart the entire process all over again. Your time is almost definitely better spent elsewhere.. This game has so much going for it, from atmosphere to the gameplay mechanics, from UI to the astonishing writing and story telling, but it all feels locked behind arbitrary time-wasting, it feels as if the game was more fast-paced during development then someone hit the "Slow Down" button and no one ever turned it back on, it has the same type of time-wasting that you find in MMOs to make you play longer.The small amount of content I did in the game was amazing, but the time between each event, between each new story-branch and quest progression is way too long, boring and tedious.All in all I discovered about 15% of the map(yea, 10 hours of playtime), so I would consider what I did and discovered, relative to the rest of the map, was not a big amount.That sentence I just wrote may make it seem like a huge and vast game to explore, and it is, but it's not that big, the reason it took over 10 hours to discover 15% of the map is because of how slow you are, how slow it all is, how many times you need to go back to base to re-stock on fuel and other things.It's almost sad because the writing and story-telling is impeccable in this game, and it feels like all of the places and stories you discover have about 15 to 20 different outcomes, and when I say different, I really mean different, not Telltale-different.Before I played my last hour of playtime I thought I had already decided to quit this game, I had enough, I was bored out of my mind, but then I thought "Screw it" and edited the amount of Echoes(money) I had.I gave myself enough to buy the fastest ship and fill my inventory up with fuel and rations so I didn't have to return to London between every single event, but then it got too dull, there was no point anymore.If you feel as if you have to cheat to give yourself more money in a single-player game so you can actually do stuff at a reasonable rate I'd say the developer failed at something. In Sunless Sea they failed at the speed and pace of the game, it's too slow, and you need to re-stock your inventory with fuel and food way too often.It might be more bearable with a great soundtrack but there's barely any songs at all in the game, it's mostly the same song coming on in intervals between silence.It might be more bearable with voice acting... I can only imagine how much more epic this game would be if it had great voice actors, but it has no voice acting at all.I have not played their new release: Sunless Skies, so I cannot compare it to that game. Perhaps I'll try it out one day and update this review with a comparison between the two.In conclusion, you may be able to enjoy this game if you don't mind that the vast majority of your gameplay will involve no gameplay other than traversing a boring sea, and every now and then encountering either stupidly easy or genuinely unfair enemies that you cannot do anything with other than to try and cower away from them before they kill you.Awesome and bad game at the same time for 2 entirely different reasons.. Very unique but don't feel sad if you decide to mod it to be less punishing. The gameplay isn't as good as the setting.
