Still Wakes The Deep: Xbox Game Pass Players Share Their Verdicts

Still Wakes The Deep, the latest offering from the acclaimed developers at The Chinese Room, has recently joined the ranks of Xbox Game Pass. This eerie survival-horror experience, set on a remote Scottish oil rig in 1975, has garnered a fair share of critical acclaim across various platforms.

However, as the game finds its way into the hands of Xbox players via the subscription service, we’re curious to know how the Game Pass community is receiving this unique ‘walking sim’ adventure.

For those unfamiliar with Still Wakes The Deep, the game casts players as Caz, a lone oil rig worker who finds herself trapped amidst terrifying creatures. With no combat system to rely on, players must rely on stealth and environmental puzzle-solving to navigate the perilous rig and unravel the mysteries that lurk beneath the surface.

While the game’s premise and gameplay mechanics have been praised for their novelty and immersive experience, some critics have raised concerns about its linearity and potential technical issues. Nonetheless, user reviews on various platforms have been overwhelmingly positive, with an average user rating of 8.5 on Metacritic across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox.

Interestingly, there appears to be a discrepancy in the critical reception of Still Wakes The Deep across different platforms. On PlayStation 5, the game holds a Metacritic score of 74, while on Xbox, it boasts an impressive 84, and on PC, a respectable 76. This disparity has led some to speculate about potential biases at play, particularly given the game’s close ties to Microsoft, with The Chinese Room now being owned by the tech giant and the game receiving marketing support from Xbox.

While it’s essential to approach such speculation with caution, as reviews are inherently subjective, it’s worth acknowledging the potential impact of implicit biases on how games are perceived and evaluated.

As Still Wakes The Deep finds its way onto the Xbox Game Pass library, we’re eager to hear from the community of subscribers. Whether you’ve already embarked on Caz’s harrowing journey or are considering it as a potential ‘palette cleanser’ between more substantial titles, we want to know your thoughts.

Are you finding Still Wakes The Deep’s atmospheric horror and unique gameplay mechanics compelling, or is the lack of combat and linearity hampering your enjoyment? Perhaps you’ve decided to hold off on the game for now, opting for more time-consuming adventures. Whatever your experience, we invite you to share your verdicts on this intriguing Game Pass offering.

By gathering insights from the Xbox community, we can gain a better understanding of how Still Wakes The Deep resonates with its intended audience and potentially shed light on any lingering biases or disparities in its critical reception.

So, Xbox insiders, let your voices be heard! Share your ratings, impressions, and perspectives on Still Wakes The Deep, as we collectively explore the depths of this haunting Scottish tale.
