Still Wakes the Deep: Siren's Rest

Gamer Social Club: 7 / 10 by Andrew Cooper

I find myself very conflicted with rating this game. On one hand, Siren’s Rest has built one of the most convincing terrifying underwater playgrounds I have seen in years. It is bleak and beautiful in the same breath and really does an amazing job at bringing you back to the events of the first game in the most depressing way possible. On the flip side, the gameplay is relatively tame. I don’t mind an “on the rails” narrative adventure, and they do a great job at that aspect of the DLC, but the gameplay and lack of many of the horror elements present in the base game are bound to make fans drawn to it’s Lovecraftian undertones a little disappointed.

For those hoping that this DLC will provide answers to what the Beira D drilled into in 1975, or even just an experience of exploring more of the crew's stories, you will be disappointed in Still Wakes the Deep: Siren's Rest. But if it's simply more Still Wakes the Deep content that you're looking for, no matter the direction, then this DLC provides.

Still Wakes the Deep: Siren's Rest takes you back to the Beira D 10 years later, exploring the wreckage as it lies on the sea bed. It's an incredibly clever way to introduce an expansion, and the Beira D is perhaps even more eerie and atmospheric than it was the first time around. I've loved every moment with it — I just wish it was a little longer.
