Literally all my worst fears in one place; deep/dark water, oceanic fauna, clowns, tight spaces, aliens.

I love it.

Barotrauma is without a doubt one of the sleeper best games to play with your friends from the last few years. They've done an incredible job of getting the atmosphere, balance and surprises just right so you feel under constant pressure even with 10 people in the ship, but same time can play with just 4. And on the other hand every role feels useful and they have such strong synergies across each other so it's not just shooty shooty people that get the glory. You want several engineers, a medic and a captain and even that assistant turned into that strange clown is surprisingly useful. The stories made here have been so much fun. Get minimum 4 friends on voice comms and all aboard the crazy boat.

There are bugs, but you could just roleplay them away. For example we spent all of our hard earned marks (money) on equipment, but the station didn't deliver the equipment to us. We very seriously discussed turning back to enact swift nuclear justice on those thieving scammers. It tells a lot of the game that I'm not even 100% sure it was a bug.

It's absolutely awesome, even by yourself. But they heavily need to work on some of the fish AI. Some are highly unfair. on the easiest difficulty I got absolutely crushed by a GIANT hammerhead on only my THIRD mission. I was no where NEAR prepared to take one down and it SPAWNED it. just a little thing though. mosst of the time it is fair. sometimes the RNG will fuck over at a low level and piss you off as a warning. other then that its super fun, especially with friends!

I genuinely adore this game. Absolutely thrilling, hilarious and enthralling.

This game is great for groups of friends of about 4 - 12 and still entertaining as a 2-3 or single player experience.

If you like dark underwater sci-fi with large roleplay elements that are completely optionable and malleable settings and vibes that can bring you hilarious friendly fun or a thrilling immersive horror experience, definitely buy this game. It is worth it.

This is without even mentioning the modding scene, which I've seen is enormous and I imagine can bring further fun for hours upon hours, though so far the base game alone has kept me coming back for more.

Extremely impressed by this game. I held off on purchasing because i thought it was only a online co-op game - i was so wrong. Playing with the AI is a TON of fun, which at its core is a very dynamic game play loop that allows all of the intricate sub-systems to really make a very fun gameplay loop. I also just played 2 hours with friends which only elevates it.

My captain was paying me 5mk a mission and paid more attention to his three alien pets than his own crew, so I grabbed one and left the ship. He summoned the entire crew to find me when he found out it was missing, and tracked me down, shot me with a harpoon, and dropped my still-bleeding almost lifeless corpse into Ballast A where the three pets ate me alive

I saw negative reviews about the price for the game and so I wanted to help out.

If you so happen to have a VPN you can change your location to Thailand for a cheaper price. it's 376 Thai baht which converts to about 10 dollars. If you were wondering, the original 30$ price tag converts to 1098 Thai baht.

I can't be so sure if it works for everyone or if there's countries with better prices and also, I only found this out because I live in Thailand.

1 game but feels like 2.

Playing single player best to stick with vanilla ships as the ai navigate them pretty well yes the ai can be useless at the best of times but still quicker than most players are to a situation.

Playing multiplayer is organized chaos is the simplest way to put it. Hell off a laugh.

I recommend not researching anything about the monsters/ aliens on this experience it first hand because whe you encounter a husk for the first time, the terror is real.

Pros:
SS13 like freedom, you can do random shit for fun and its funny to watch
even SP is fun with cheats or just playing
Its hard af doing SP but i suck at games
good graphics and relatively good editor

Cons:
hard af as said before
MP is chaotic but thats the fun of it (not much experience so dont take it from me)
has its bugs obv
XML mods is a bit weird if i wanted to make mods but im no expert and its simpler than C# like PPG

step 1: play as the medic.
step 2: make sure to do your job right and keep your crew alive and well.
step 3: remember you don't get paid. drug your friends, gaslight them into thinking they are addicts and give everyone psychosis.
step 4: play Russian roulette whit drugs and give CPR to your security officer until you arrive at the station so he can get a cure for the cyanide you gave him.
step 5: make planting your new hobby and stop messing whit your friends. make sure they know they are inferior to plants by watering them instead of helping your friends who are about to die.
Results: Fun.

You'll be spending most of your time doing nothing. Then something happens. It's quickly over. Now you're back to waiting for the next thing to happen. Game is boring with trickles of really fun and intense moments, which are too infrequent and short. Cannot recommend.

Soap
Soap

A well designed game that seeks to incentivate team work and human communication. It looks pretty damn good even despite it's 2D perspective. And you don't actually need too much to run it smoothly. But be aware, using a Intel HD Graphics Card won't be worth here, because it will yield less than 30 FPS and this game is pretty much unplayable at that framerate. But using something like a GTX 660 or even a GTX 550 would do the trick. You won't get 60 FPS always, but you'll get them most of the time and in the worst cases you won't get below 30 FPS.

Arisen Hero
Arisen Hero

This game is incredible and honestly amazing. Everyone has a job and each job is important (Even assistant) Everyone must do their roles in order to succeed. This is best played online to be honest. This game is horror, adventure, somewhat comedy and chaos all combined into one. So many things can happen and it can all happen at once if things go very wrong. This game is so great and it can provide hours of entertainment and can make you feel like you are in a movie.

the game is really great and fun but after some while playing the campaign it got really laggy and become not so playable, i don't know is it because the item that got piled up causing the lag or having too many crew or is it just my not so powerful laptop.

now i'm replaying the campaign while keeping the item undercheck, tryng to see what really cause the lag

Three Aliens busted into my Sub. Chaos ensued. After all was said and done noticed i was missing a crew mate. Found out they were sucked out of the air lock without a suit and crushed to a paste by the water pressure. Found their bag of loot floating in the water with death description. 10/10 would push a crew member out to see this happen. FUN FUN FUN

Played with 3 friends, went on a mission to kill a Swarm.
Lost power after the battle. One friend told our mechanic to use two fuel rods in the reactor.
Reactor promptly had a meltdown, killing two of my friends and leaving me grievously wounded. Sub starts sinking. Soon it reached crush depth and killed me too. Last friend was outside looting and started to descend to try and save the sub. He quickly got eaten by an enormous eldritch horror.

10/10 I'd gladly do it again.

Amazing base game. Very fun. However i am telling you now. Before you adapt. Before you rest. Get mods. Barotraumatic. Neurotrauma. Into the Abyss Revival. Have a blast. Die die and die. If you're feeling spicy maybe succeed. Just remember:
1:Present friends turn into worst enemy.
2:Save a bullet for yourself.
3: If possible take everything and everyone down with you.
Have fun :) This game needs recognition please support this game and its community

Great game. Horrifying, engaging, open-world (in most cases) and you never know what to expect. Being in a big hunk of metal we call a "submarine" waiting to be utterly destroyed by either an idiot captain, humongous fish, plants growing inside or their own crew. Your submarine is the only safe space, and literally everywhere around it is Lethal danger. Great game overall.

Mynzelah
Mynzelah

Super fun co-op gameplay. Trying to manage a sub with friends was a bit strange at the start, but once we got into our roles and learnt more about the game it delivered an experience unlike any I've had in a video game. The sea monsters are as horrific, the atmosphere dark and eerie, and the gameplay is challenging. I'm quite satisfied with this game so far.

Some notes:
The game's movement while comedic and overall enjoyable can sometimes be really annoying to deal with. I found myself getting stuck in doors and taking a lot of fall damage thanks to some hard to describe jank that this game has while you're trying to quickly maneuver. Additionally most enemies don't really have attack animations and just sorta deal damage at a distance that can be difficult to judge, which sometimes left me feeling like I got cheated into damage I shouldn't have taken.
The submarine building system is incredibly complicated and almost feels like too big a waste of time to justify learning. It's a bit disappointing given I really do want to get into ship building.

My first experience on Barotrauma once completing the simple tutorials.

We made it through our first four missions without incedent, and are en route to deliver medical supplies to a station in need. All is quiet when suddenly, my tin can starter ship shakes so violently that I am thrown off my feet, gaining a concussion as I slam into the bulkhead.

Water begins to rush in to the hold at an alarming rate, my crew scrambles to throw on diving suits or masks. The budget has been tight, work has been slow. For my five crew members I have only 3 diving suits, the other two will have to make it with oxygen mask only.

Regardless of the danger, they scramble into action to begin repairing the ship. The ships doctor already is racing about administering first aid despite the failing power and rising water.

Suddenly, out of the darkness, three huge creatures of the like I have never seen begin slamming into the hole in my hull and begin to attack the crew.

At the last station, I had just enough money to get each crew man a 38 revolver and a handful of ammo...I hope its enough.

The creatures tear into the crew like Nancy Pelosi into raw bleeding flesh, the bloodbath that follows is insane. Three of my five die in the fight, including the captain. Only the mechanic and the assistant are left alive. The water is still rising and oxygen is running out fast.

They scramble to make repairs, patching the holes in the hull first and then moving on the the reactor and the engines. During this desperate struggle, the mechanic suffocates as he races to restart the reactor, but the fuel cell is empty and he dies on his way to get another.

The assistant, a wet behind the earns rookie who just signed on with the crew at the last stop, is the only remaining crewman. The water has completely flooded the hull, and he searches the bodies of his fallen crew mates for anything that will help, oxygen at the top of the list.

All he manages to find are two mostly used bottles.

Re-charghing his air with one, he races to the reactor storage closet for a fresh fuel cell, just as he arrives, his air runs out and he slams home his last remaining, nearly depleted air bottle.

He reaches the reactor and slams in the fuel cell just as the last tank runs empty.

The reactor starts! The assistant begins to suffocate, time is running out.

Slowly, so slowly, the pumps begin to push the water out of the battered boat. The assistant has time for one last smile as he see's the waters begin to recede, and then...he falls over and passes out.

Just as the water line dropped below his prone body, he died, unable to remove the suit that was suffocating him.

100% get the game, the characters are a little weird looking, but the game-play is awesome!

I have had this game for quite a while and I may not play regularly everytime I come back it sucks me in. Don't listen to others who say don't play without friends. Almost all of my time is solo. I remember when the bots were dreadfully incompetent. Now they function and execute orders when asked. Every bit of new content to this game is a breath of fresh air to the core gameplay. This game is not about being a hero on Europa its about living to tell the tale. You will sink, they will board you, and it will be chaos. Every death is a learning experience for the next attempt. I can not give enough love to this game. For those looking for feeling alone and terrified of what is in the dark pick this one up. Once you crash to the bottom for the first time and recover its an absolute rush.

This entertaining looking game, had a not so pleasant neither entertaining surprise for me. I am thinking that it is indeed a good, funny and exiting game, especially to play with friends.

Yet, beeing stuck at the tutorial because I apparently finished "repairing the generator" to fast, after reading it in another forum, is not a good game attitude for me. So please, if any developer is reading this, do fix the tutorial.

its a pretty unique game with lots of mechanics, like making drugs, crafting nuclear warheads, and fighting monsters in an ocean. in every round, there's a very high chance 10,000 mudraptors will breach into your submarine and eat everyone alive. 9/10, very cool

Legacy Edition of the game was not only more optimized but also more fun with somewhat better community and the game was free. This game is almost dead, sure, there are a lot of players but most of the servers are russian and you won't even understand what they are talking about.

Campaign mode imo is pretty bad since it ruins what made the game fun. Most servers have traitors disabled which basically kills the fun of the multiplayer.

If you want to buy this game, make sure a friend also has it. Play with your friend on a private server with bots. Trust me, bots are smart enough for you to not need players... kinda. It is still better than getting shot by a security officer as a security officer just because you wanted to keep your stunstick.

There is only one way to describe this game.

It's like 'Iron Lung' and 'We Need To Go Deeper' had a child, and its absolutely wonderful. I've had a blast with Barotrauma so far, and here's why.

-You don't need friends to have fun, though, friends makes the experience better.

-The game is very in depth and advanced, but its fairly easy to get the hang of.
