Critic Reviews for Still Wakes the Deep: Siren's Rest

We’re sure that if you’re a fan of the base game, you’ll likely get some enjoyment here, as there are some genuine moments of tension, and we loved getting to hear wee tidbits about the Beira D disaster. However, what it does more than anything else is make us want to go back and play the base game.

The premise of Siren's Rest is strong enough to plumb the depths of Still Wakes the Deep's enduring mysteries, but as a compact story DLC, it's just too shallow. The principal goal of tracking down collectibles siphons the tension from its claustrophobic environments, and The Chinese Room's overreliance on scripted sequences creates missed opportunities for emergent horror.

Siren's Rest dives deeper but surfaces with less - a murky, meandering return that dredges up atmosphere but offers no real answers.

Still Wakes the Deep presented an intriguing tale to build off of, but Siren's Rest isn't it, wasting its lead's impressive performance and failing to provide any real - or interesting - answers.

Siren's Rest is an enjoyable, if a little short, dive beneath Still Wakes the Deep's waves that doesn't capitalise on its strong narrative, leaving players a little unsatisfied. The premise and setting do manage to build some solid tension, but it never elevates to a genuine scare factor that would take the experience to the next level.

Still Wakes the Deep: Siren's Rest takes you back to the Beira D 10 years later, exploring the wreckage as it lies on the sea bed. It's an incredibly clever way to introduce an expansion, and the Beira D is perhaps even more eerie and atmospheric than it was the first time around. I've loved every moment with it — I just wish it was a little longer.

Still Wakes the Deep: Siren's Rest is an emotional dive back to the Beira D oil rig, with some seriously tense moments and a whole lot of heart.

Still Wakes the Deep was an incredible game. Siren’s Rest shows the aftermath and how it affected at least one family. For $13, I think it’s well worth checking out for anyone who’s beaten the main game.
