Under the Waves is a narrative-driven adventure game about the engulfing power of grief. Set in the depths of the North Sea in a techno-futuristic 1970s, professional diver Stan is struggling to overcome a life-changing loss and embrace a new future. The isolation of the deep sea is a fitting manifestation of his state of mind, and as Stan retreads further into his self-imposed solitude, he starts to experience strange events far beneath the waves. Stuck between life and death, Stan will have to make the most significant choice of his existence.

Under The Waves est une expérience narrative sous-marine poétique, portée par une ambiance chill et contemplative. Visuellement immersif, le jeu mise avant tout sur l’émotion, la solitude et la nature, avec une bande-son apaisante et bien intégrée, qui accompagne parfaitement les moments d’introspection. Le scénario est bien écrit, touchant et symbolique, mais parfois trop appuyé sur les mêmes thèmes — notamment la mort — ce qui finit par rendre certains passages un peu lourds ou redondants. Côté gameplay, j’ai eu plus de mal. Le rythme est volontairement lent, ce qui peut renforcer l’immersion pour certains, mais qui devient parfois frustrant quand on enchaîne les tâches ou les déplacements. Il y a peu de tension réelle : quasiment aucun danger, peu de risques de mourir, ce qui rend le tout très linéaire malgré un univers intriguant. Cela dit, Under The Waves réussit à créer une atmosphère unique, entre la beauté de l’exploration marine et une narration émotionnelle. Il plaira à ceux qui recherchent un jeu calme, introspectif, plus axé sur le message que sur l’action.

🐧 Läuft auch ohne Proton einwandfrei unter Linux POP!-OS Let's be very honest: Ich habe nach dem Trailer sehr viel mehr vom Game erwartet. Als Stan, der Taucher, werden wir unter Wasser auf Station versetzt, um uns im Namen von UniTrench (einem Ölförderer) vor Ort um die alltäglichen Arbeiten zu kümmern. Das Gameplay besteht aus simplen Arbeiten an Gerätschaften, dem Sammeln von Resourcen, Fotografieren von Tier & Fisch und einfachen Fetch-Quests, bei denen uns unser U-Boot treue Dienste erweist. Für Gamefreaks mit nem schwachen Magen, wenns um MotionSickness geht, ist das allerdings eher weniger spaßig. Die Steuerung ist ein wenig träge, die Cam shaked in CutScenes super ungünstig, sodass ich nach einigen Stunden immer wieder unterbrechen musste. Die ganze Story wirkt super unmotiviert. Ganz sicher bin ich mir nach den 8 Stunden noch immer nicht, ob man nun Stans Geschichte erzählen oder der Ölraffinerie den Finger zeigen wollte . Super schade, dass man als Spieler nicht so ganz durchsteigt und am Ende eher verwirrt ist, trotzdem ist es per se ne nette Idee. Zum entspannt Rumdümpeln ist das Spiel bestimmt oke, dann aber auf jeden Fall auf den Sale warten, bevor man sich ärgert.

Leider eine etwas voraussehbare Story. Manchmal eine etwas fummelige Steuerung (Keyboard und Maus)

The game had such a great immersion, it felt calm and serene to just flow at the speed it moved forward and not annoying as in many other games. Getting places never felt like a necessity, just being in the moment. Music and visuals worked together to totally outplay the bugs, quirks, annoyance in story, way worth the play.

Du moment qu'on y croise des poulpines, la streameuse est heureuse. Visuellement cool, histoire sympa mais quelques bugs. Quand même on a passé de bons moments!
