Fantastic

No need to buy this.
The images on the store page are all you get.

Becomes unplayable after 15 minutes due to extreme lag. Once zombies start to spawn in larger numbers, FPS drops to about 2 frames a second.

Almost identical to one of their previous games "Shark Attack Deathmatch 2", but intenser, more realistic and graphically more impressive. The swim physics have improved much. The feeling of being under water is much more real than in SADM2. The female intercom voice is also a nice addition and adds the touch of someone friendly sharing your adventure, I always like that in games, to not only have enemies but friends as well, even if it's just a voice over an intercom.

That being said, it's still nothing more than the arcade shooter it used to be. The map, although good looking, is fairly small, and there is little to no story. It looks great, it's visually very impressive, but it's no more than an underwater shooting gallery. Once you shoot all the enemies in a specific dive, the dive session stops and gives you the play results with an option to upgrade your gear. No story, no mysteries, no discovery of secrets in gloomy wrecks, nothing really than bang bang shooting sharks and eels. That's it. But in all fairness, what they did, they did good.

I think it's a good buy on a Steam sale for half the retail price. I also encourage to support the devs, because they seem to have great plans with this game, and it could be a stepping stone towards something great, but it needs more content. It needs bigger maps, it needs mysteries, wrecks, loot, findings, plots, and it needs time and space to develop a real story. You don't go scuba diving just to shoot sharks, you wanna explore, observe, wonder, discover, float, and dream. Let's hope "Death in the Water 3" will be just that exceptional diving game we are all looking for.

Great atmosphere and fun gameplay. The one gripe I and many other players had (the irritating command barking) was immediately adressed by the dev team and solved with a fast hotfix. This is a team which listens to the community.

Game is ruined by bad control functions and clunky movements. Motion is not fluid and there is no "walk" function for PC. Over-the-shoulder camera view is possible, but the way it's implemented doesn't feel right and still lacks control over the female protagonist. The premise, the story and the graphical environments look pretty and captivating, but it's hard to enjoy if the controls feel bad. "Broken Pieces" lives up to it's title, though for me not in a positive sense.
