Still Wakes the Deep

Five or six hours, start to finish, and almost none of that time gives you room to breathe. You are a worker on a North Sea oil rig when something goes wrong in a way that the word 'wrong' does not fully cover. Still Wakes the Deep has a very specific thing it wants to do and it does it without overstaying its welcome, which as a time-limited player I find genuinely refreshing. The Scottish voice cast grounds the characters quickly, so when things start going badly you actually care. It is not a game you replay. But the first time through, the pressure is real. Worth every evening you put into it, and at PS Plus it costs nothing extra to find out.
