Under The Waves PS5 Review - The Final Verdict

  • Under The Waves puts you in the shoes of Stan, an underwater operative working for the UniTrench mining facility. The story takes you through his journey of overcoming grief while also serving as a means to spread awareness about preserving underwater wildlife.
    It’s a well-written game with strong performances and carefully directed cutscenes, but the story can stretch itself too thin by trying to cover so many topics and not doing justice to it all. While the gameplay doesn’t break any new ground in terms of mechanics, it works well for the rather short duration of the campaign - clocking in at just over 6 hours.

    At first I was sceptical but after some great reviews bought it. Just playing it for couple of hours but this game is really beautiful and enjoyable. I hope they will make a sequel after this little success and expand the game in all fronts. A bigger open under water world with cool quests and a good main quest story will make it a absolute success. So far loving it.

    I'm loving this game. I'm 7/8 hours in and am not even halfway. You can explore to your heart's content. The environment is fantastic, the story is gripping and the voice acting is great. The story driven style isn't Subnautica, it's a different kind of game, but that doesn't make it a bad game. I think Parallel Studios have made a great game that's badly suffered from lack of marketing.

    To anyone reading this, this game story line is fantastic however after playing this game for a while now, idk if this is just me, but many bugs or flaws are present such as losing an upgrade when you craft an item and CANNOT get it back. Revisiting some sites after conpleting missions is good for collectible hunting but i found out that you can get stuck on some parts making restarting a new game an only option. I know i sound complaining but as much as i love this game and what its worth, there are small errors a player can make that can be costly. Other than that, im still okay with the game just frustrated at a few errors.

      For me as well, it's pretty bad when you're close to the ground. What I don't get, nobody is talking about the framerate as if it is not a problem. It's definitely not my Ps5, other games are perfect. No clue why that is. It's like there getting paid to not mention the framerate. It crashes every now and then too.

      @@thelawyer95 yeah I agree with you on the possibility of them paying off people to keep from speaking about it, because it doesn’t make much sense.. I bought the physical version for PS5 to add to my physical collection, so I tried installing it without updating it to the latest patch.. It’s very odd, because it’s also closed to 60fps without the patch installed, however, it is still unplayable because it stutteres very bad even though it looks like it is closer to 60fps.. very weird.. I really want to play it, but I keep holding out for the possibility of another update to fix it.. I just feel that it’s already forgotten about..

    I love subnauticas and Outer Wilds to the depths of my heart. So I waited excitedly for this game - and gods, I am disappointed. Boring and poor environment without a sense of scary deeps, boring tasks, slugish controls. Iron Lung did a better job of being an underwater game. But I'm glad to see comments from people who like and enjoy this game -- it's not for me, but could be for you.

    For me, it really is a beautiful game...but man....the framerate kills all the experience. I haven´t encountered a game on PS5 with such a terrible framerates and fps inconsistencies. Bad, bad. I love the game, but int he same time this issue is keeping me back from playing it futher. It´s PS5 FFS! The graphics are nicely done, but not even next-gen level to be so demanding for such a machine. It´s unacceptable. For what this is, the game is not the cheapest one. They should patch it fast for PS5.
