FRIST_008 Still Wakes the Deep Review

Nov 13, 2026
I finished Still Wakes the Deep from the creators of Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, and for me it's next-gen in the walking simulator genre, mixed a bit with a thriller atmosphere (maybe about 10% of Outlast is in there, somewhere at the start of the game). Actually, it would even be really hard to call it a walking simulator, because you truly spend very little time just walking. The developers managed to cram in an indecent number of visual wow moments and mixed them with simple gameplay. The visuals gave me pure ecstasy. And not just in still shots: the way all the animations are done for a first-person game deserves my respect. For a genre like this, I'd say money is pouring out of every corner here, that's how obvious it is that they made the visuals with soul. I understand that some modern AAA games might do something on this level. But this is by no means an AAA budget, and yet it looks exactly like one. For those with a PS Plus subscription, I strongly recommend it. My score by my rating system is 9 points.
