How does this compare to Stranded Deep?

[Alisse]

Is this better than Stranded Deep?

[Rio]

It is similar in that a lot of the best loot is gained by diving and looting that way, and also has a similar vibe with resource collection and storage.
However, it lacks the effects of exposure and poisonings, making survival less of a chore.
There's also FAR more building and decoration options than Stranded Deep.

Sharks aren't as aggressive as Stranded Deep, either, and will actually leave you alone if you don't get too close. And you can get fairly close before they finally decide to attack. Even then, if you back off quickly, they will stop attacking.

Crafting is also a bit more involved than Stranded Deep as well. You can craft a lot more stuff in Sunkenland.

Stranded Deep is great for those looking for a true castaway survival aspect.
Sunkenland is more Post Apoc/Waterworld simulator. Combat and salvage is WAY more emphasized than the survival skills.

Having humans/humanoids that are armed to engage in combat with is also another big difference, don't get that in Stranded Deep.

Looking at the video only it looks like it has inspirations from subnatica, Raft.

I played Stranded Deep for 2hrs and have no desire to play it. I've played Sunkenland for 51hrs so far.
I don't know what it was about SD that made me hate it so much.

Stranded Deep is great for folks looking for a more realistic take on being in a survival situation. And it had a linear story to follow with a definite end goal.
It's also extremely unforgiving in its learning curve.
Stranded Deep is a great game for those willing to endure punishment and stress.
And that's why it's one of those "love it or hate it" types of titles.
It's not for everyone, at all.

I don't know if the recent patches made that game any better but that game was horribly broken and buggy. Even more so if you attempted to play multiplayer.

I'm going off of the videos i've seen. but they look so much alike, it feels like it's stranded deep 2. like the earth blew up while you were stuck on those islands.

I am going to agree with this statement.

They are similar but not the same at all. This is like Waterworld the movie and if you haven't seen it, Watch IT. The whole earth is under water not just shipwrecks. This game is coming along way faster than Stranded Deep ever did.
