Barotrauma Reviews

Great in basically every way I could have wanted from the gameplay to the community and especially the mods this game is just all around fun. (Also death to the clowns praise the husk)

Slow burn type of game and I absolutely love it. Learning all the mechanics of the game is very rewarding and indepth.

I really like this game a lot i just wish there was more freedom to do stuff alone like a sandbox where i could control AI and have freedom to do as i please without a guided campaign (Granted the campaign so far is great and fun} i just wish sometimes i didn't have to follow a set path, all multiplayer games are locked and i have no one to play with so if maybe a solo offline sandbox could later be put into the game that would be great :)

Spooky, goofy, fun. Can play it more serious if you want too, but it's a big blast to fuck around with some friends.

I just can't get enough of it. This game has me hooked and is one of the few games i can replay again and again simply because there is so much to do, even when playing solo. I can't recommend it enough, definitely a 10/10 experience for me.

This game has given me so many different emotions and feelings. I genuinely have not had a more confusing time on a game. I've been swallowed by giant creatures, torn apart by crawlers, and stabbed to death and a dingy bathroom. The game emanates sex and rage. I have never felt both more rage and joy at the same time.

I had a great time playing the campaign and decided to try multiplayer. They've surgically removed my arms and legs, injected me with a husk infection, and locked me away in a wheelchair. 10/10 experience. The co-op survival horror aspect of this game shows that the players are the ones you should truly fear, they're more dangerous than any creature out there. Buy Barotrauma.

The game is very immersive, nearly all of my good memories have been about me and my friends struggling to survive in these crushing depths. An the good part is... we enjoyed it to addiction. The game lore may be somewhat underwhelming, but it is still nice addition to overall gameplay, though I like non-obvious choices like adding clown fraction to the game. Modding community is huge and you can transform your campaign till it becomes even more of a horror. Submarine editor is a humongous advantage and it lets you build extraordinary mechanisms in your submarine and I appreciate that all the electricity stuff is not hidden in the actual game so you can modify the submarine mid-game, though it takes skill, which is perfectly fine. The game has it flaws and bugs ( starting the game with non-cyrillic keyboard layout selected in linux still ends up with unusible letter keys as on 13.02.2025; and this bug is still present in game's github page), but I recommend this game nontheless. 10/10

very unique sandbox submarine simulator with interesting lore/plot. a lot of mods for more replayability. great for coop, bots are a little annoying.

The game can be a mixed experience. Some players might find it boring due to the long campaign, griefing teammates, or having to play solo because of a lack of friends. On the other hand, with a good crew, it can be a blast! Whether it's tackling bandits on abandoned outpost missions, taking down abyssal creatures against all the odds, or just having a great time screaming like a 5-star actor to your deaths together. The game is well-made, and in my 200 hours of playing, I never had crashes or major performance issues (except in colonies). The sub editor is also very intuitive, allowing for endless customization of submarine systems and decorations. The modding community in this game is also spot-on, with several engaging mods such as Real Sonar, The nightmarish Neurotrauma (which taught me alot about medicine), environmental mods, and the stupid funny stuff that gives me a laugh every time I tried them. For me, most of the fun came from building submarines with advanced systems using dozens of logic gates, heavily decorating them to tell a story through the designs and rooms, or modifying built-in subs. I’d guess at least 70% of my playtime was spent in the sub editor, I'm not joking. Overall, you like building subs? Or managing crews? Go for it. Otherwise you might have a bit of a bad time.
