The game is a chaotic mess of panic, fear, and screaming over voice chat, I love it.

In the beginning, you might find most of the core game mechanics confusing, but once learned fully or not? You might find yourself drawn to the game for a good few weeks. The story isn't anything special, it's lacking in many aspects, but it's simple.

The different types of passive and aggressive life to explore under the ice of Europa is certainly interesting. It was a major incentive to continue going deeper down exploring the unknown and fighting off the various dangers faced as you upgrade the submarine or switch to higher tiers ones, barely scraping by then only to be met with ever increasingly dangerous biomes as you progress.

Definitely more fun with others to play with, but isn't an issue playing solo if you are up to the challenge of managing the submarine yourself.

The AI crew isn't great and struggles with basic tasks in times of need. I'm especially sick of my engineer administrating lethal amounts of morphine into my bloodstream to treat minor pain; getting me an opiate addiction, watching in awe every damn time as my character struggles to breathe. But it's pretty entertaining to watch.

Bottom line is: plenty of things to explore, upgrades and submarines to use substances to abuse, plenty of nuclear explosives to create then deploy on the local wildlife of each biome, crew too. Screw it, blow everything up as you fight off your unruly crew plus opiate addictions you've gained during the aftermath of combat, then die to a fatal fentanyl overdose.

You can make your own fun in this game. Would recommend to anyone seeking a chaotic fun time as a crew member on a submarine exploring the unknown, depth crushing icy oceans of Jupiter's moon Europa.
