Sunkenland Reviews

great game for exploration and the combat is fun too

I gotta say, this game is fantastic fun, especially for $19.99! I honestly can't think of a criticism of it, other than the possibility of how quickly the battery runs outs in your headlamp; should last through one night, at least. The gunplay is fun, the exploration is compelling, and would be made even more interesting if the devs were to introduce procedural maps, where the monuments could be randomly distributed across the map, and add some more uninhabited, resource/build-specific islands, the game could have infinite replayability. As it stands now, one or maybe two run-throughs would be about all you'd likely be interested in doing.

Fun chill game if set to easy. Love the exploration and building of better equipment and building up your camp. Also Co-op makes it the best.

A very fun survival game, especially co-op mode.

From the short time I've played, I can tell you that I'm hooked to Sunkenland. If you're looking for an inexpensive but really engaging crafting game to play, definitely try it out! I'm hoping that they continue updating because from what I've experienced the game has a LOT of potential. There is already so much variety and a decent sized map to explore, and what's really cool is most of your gear you find underwater or by fighting enemies. There is no silly extra step mechanics to crafting or repairing, this game is all about exploring and fighting. I'd honestly compare it to an early developed 7 days to die.

I loveeeee this game, play a lot of survival coops with the wife, we've done about all of them, this is the perfect mix of fallout 4/ meets rust/ in water world. I really couldn't ask for a better time. Would of expected the combat to be kinda terrible, but honestly it's not that bad at all. If you like games like the forest be sure to give this a try, but probably a lot more enjoyable with a pal. Also the game world is massive can't wait for future updates, the more the better, minor silly bugs, but hardly a deal.

It really felt off for me around the 10 hour mark. It started off so fascinating and fun, and then quickly fell off with bad AI combat and weak systems. Other reviews have perfectly highlighted my complaints. Where so much of the early game was crafting and strategizing resources, the later game just falls apart. Its also... just so ugly LOL

60 hours saved game time lost, Sunken land will only let me start a brand new game, sent email to Sunkenland support in Aug 24. 6 months later still no response! Appalling

Awesome game with engaging replay-ability. Highly recommend if you are into survival in a sandbox. Great co-op experience with friends or just solo. Developers highly involved and has gone through countless iterations and QoL improvements.

All in all it's a pretty good game. I play with two friends and the difficulty does increase with more players, which is nice. Solo gameplay is less difficult and you can adjust a lot of things in the world creation (and change it again afterwards!) that could spoil the solo experience like [spoiler] the frequency raids when you're not close to home, how often loot respawns and how fast you get hungry [/spoiler]. The game definitely feels like it was never finished though, there are some glitches like enemies being able to straight up walk through some walls which is okay, I can work around that, but what happens to all of us is that if we play for more than like two hours, glitches start to happen. I'm the host and for me the screen starts to flicker and suddenly I can't save the game anymore, when I press escape the game just crashes. Luckily the game saves pretty often so we rarely lose any more progress than about an in-game hour. Just now I had the the thing where my character started spinning uncontrollably until I [spoiler] shot my gun [/spoiler] (again after more than two consecutive hours of playing). Later it flickered but I was somehow able to save and quit anyway. What I noticed as well is that my whole gpu seems to hate this game, it regularly crashes the graphics of whatever I am running on my second screen (after more than two hours). I know all that sounds bad but I do really like the game. It's kind of like Raft, Stranded Deep, Subnautica and Palworld combined. The landscape is super pretty and the deep sea isn't too scary. If you're looking for a game like that and maybe don't play sessions longer than two hours anyway, I say go for it.
