estoy tan solo

I think it is time for another update:

I still recommend the game, as it's concept and hilarity are still there. The devs are working on a dlc with a new submarine, as well as still putting out the occasional quality of life patch.

BUT

the network update has been delayed due to the pandemic. The game is not in it's best shape right now on a technical level.

I recommend checking out the developer livestreams usually taking place on saturday, if you have any questions about the state of the game.


Post-Release-Update:
Now, the group i used to play this with pretty much disbanded.
From what i gathered, though, most of the things written below still hold up.
Except for one thing:
The devs are in the progress of rippng out the old network system and putting a new one in. So your mileage may vary on the connection part. The fact that the devs go for such a deep core change on the game even a fair while after release does imply that they want the game to work.

There also is a new submarine in form of a DLC in the wings, but that seems to get delayed in favor of the network stuff.

tl,dr: probably still fine with a group. Wonky game, not to be taken too seriously, but fun in its core game loop.

Release-Update:
tl,dr:
With all the lore, the art and the gameplay feeling matching up, the game is quite good at what it wants to do.

It is still incredibly fun as a group and feels very consistent... it adheres to its own wonky rules. There are still some bugs here and there, but i dare say even those follow the games wonky rules, and if a gamebraking one would turn up, it usually gets fixed fast enough. And the gamebraking ones got pretty rare anyway.

Most of the things below still apply in some way.

EARLY ACCESS REVIEW:
The Cons:

• not many people playing with randoms outside of american and european gamer-peak times
  
• can get repetitive
  
• some networking errors pop up every now and then

The pros

• compared to when the game was published, the networking and connection errors decreased by, like 90%
  
• devs are active on steam forum
  
• devs keep publishing monthly larger updates, but every now and then, a smaller update with a few features pops in, or a hotfix
  
• devs give away keys to active community members for their friends.
  
• devs stream twice a month. while this stream may not always be about WNTGD but more of a talk show, they answer questions there live.
  
• gameplay itself is fun.
  
• artstyle and sound effects are on point
  
• insanely funny when slightly drunk

over all, i recommend this game. though, the devs want to keep all their marketing stuff for one big push, so, except a big streamer or youtuber stumbles across it, it might be a little empty in the morning.

so, i do recommend this game for a group of 3 or 4 friends, or you happen to game in american or european game-peek times.


update:
cons:

• due to trolls, most public lobbies are password protected
  
• a very few updates have been kinda bad (slower speed fuel update)
  
• it is still, at it's core, way better as multiplayer than singelplayer title

pros:

• you can password-protect your lobby
  
• you can put players in the rbig, and kick them if they repeatedly end up there
  
• the devs listen to the community(e.g. fuel update -> Boost only-> normal speed and emp not depending on fuel )
  
• they actually kept their update schedule most of the time, and if not, it was worth the wait (requin? i think it was the requin)
  
• more submarines to choose from(e.g. said requin as the second one)
  
• wonky, but not crappy bots were added to aid your journey(and a command wheel to steer them)

the devs are well aware of the scope, and this game is bound to be released once it's feature complete. of course you could endlessly add on to this, but i am glad it will not be one of those eternal early access titles. i'd gladly pay for a addon, if the base game is solid.

though: community is small, and i still recommend having a friend or two (or more) at hand when playing this, especially outside the peak times.

Update:
Linux version works as good as windows version.(Tested on Arch Linux and Void Linux)

Update:
With the level up system to unlock new cosmetics to buy with solely ingame money, there is a great added feel of progression. New biomes, more depth to the mechanics (NPC doctors to heal you instead of just lying in the bed) etc.
Development is still at a great pace, wiki is quite accurate, discord is not as silent as it was. Things only got better in my opinion, even if not every problem is solved (looking at you, missing block list).

It's time for another update i guess, though, i should probably rewrite the damn review by now:
An amazing story end has been added, lot's more improvements on the front of bugs, the entire experience a bit more streamlined. Still no blocklist, but that made it's way from "aknowledge issue" to "after release planned" thing, apparently. Devs still actively working on things and content, community still small but growing.

El juego está muy entretenido y sin duda que pasarás un buen rato con tus amigos, por eso decido recomendarlo. Sin embargo, el juego sigue lleno de bugs y se crashea de la nada. Desde la versión beta a la actual no hay ningún cambio. Simplemente el juego no está listo. Espero que puedan arreglar todos los bugs y problemas que tira el juego porque no te permite disfrutarlo en su totalidad y ♥♥♥♥ tu experiencia de juego. La idea es buena, pero arreglen los errores.

10/10

Tiene sus fallos, sí, bugs y prácticamente muchas de las opciones aún no están habilitadas pero... lo poco que llevo probando este juego me ha enamorado sinceramente.

Es un juego que es imposible jugar de forma solitaria y excepcional en multijugador (cuando la crew está completa y no se sufren caídas de servidor), muy divertido y complicado cuanto más te adentras en las profundidades del océano, mientras descubres tesoros que cada vez te irán dando mayores recompensas y descubriendo criaturas cada vez más desafiantes. Hay que añadirle algo de humor, que bien me ha hecho pasar buenas risas y momentos de desesperación.

Creo vale la pena dar su oportunidad, estoy muy ansiosa por ver cómo avanzarán y tienen mi apoyo y mis mejores deseos.

Excelente juego para pasar el rato con amigos (o solo, aunque el sistema te agrega un bot de forma automática), donde la comunicación es lo primordial, cuenta como un sistema de niveles, el cual te va desbloqueando items (atuendos, armas, etc ) que podrán ser comprados en la "tienda" del juego.

La curva de dificultad del juego va creciendo a medida que te adentras en las profundidades del océano, con nuevos monstruos, jefes, cavernas tipo mazmorra y mejoras para tu submarino.

En mis 8 horas de juego, no he encontrado muchos bugs que afecten de manera negativa.
Edit: Hay algunos bugs que de plano no te dejan jugar o te vuelven inmortal.

I love it. It's a really fun game to play with friends, but it could really use a save progress option. It would be better if you could quit the game and continue with it the next time you play.

Típico juego de perder amistades.
Casi obligatorio jugar de a 4 porque da la esencia para tener un rol cada uno y culpar a alguien de los problemas.

muy recomendado para jugar con amigos
