Awesome game keep up the great work, but id do wish that there was a like contiuously generated mode that you can endlessy play, the performance is great enough so that it could be played on a really bad school chromebook
The sub's power gone offline? Blame it on your friends, Opioid addiction? Blame it on you friends, The whole sub is a hole? Blame it on your friends. Did you not buy enough welder fuel? Blame it on your friends. 10/10 would blame my friends again at the bottom of the ocean so baro my trauma :)
What isn't to like about Barotrauma? It has the essentials of a "friendslop" type game without necessarily requiring friends to play. The gameplay is fun, challenging, and complex enough to require a little bit of a learning curve without being annoyingly difficult; your experience with it can range from silly fun, to horror, to action, and everything in between. The traitor mode is a ton of fun, and the new expansion coming is keeping us excited for more. Graphically speaking the game is gritty yet pleasing to the eye, in terms of sound the audio is decent (though there are some mods that drastically improve it), and when it comes to content the game has an enjoyable amount although it could always use more. If you want to experience a game that captures the genre "semi-apocalyptic parasite-infested aquatic goof-horror" then yeah, play this game. It's priced cheaply for how quality it is, and more is coming soon.
