Hey, anyone reading this. I know the game I'm talking about isn't above but it IS on sale now. A very good, excellent price for a top notch horror game, with authentic atmostphere that captures the hard mans life on an Oil rig back in the 1970s.

Still the Deep it's called (probably) A survival horror which has beautiful graphics, a fairly linear story, but needs to be for this game.

I bought it for a hugh discount 9.53. There is also a new addition which can be purchased after completing the game. Unusual sales tactic, but sounds like they want it to succedd as it should (story wise - in order.).

I'll surely be getting it. Any horror fans, who like to hear Scottish accents, slang, and a 4 letter word every sentence - suitable considering the weirdness that's just happened/started, should buy this.

I'd get it even if not on sale after playing one session.
Strongly recommended.
BTW: While the graphics are stand out great, one thing to put off is motion blur. On my PC, at least, it causes MicroStutter when looking around. With it off none of that.
i9-9900ks @5.21GHz all cores all the time. RTX 3080ti Rog Strix gaming OC, 32 GB DDR4 3,600Mhz memory, running at 3700Mhz.

A top notch gaming rig 4-5 years ago, not so now. However I can still max it out and set half my 1440p 170Hz refresh monitor to limit frames to exactly half that in NVCP (85fps with G-Sync - No V-Sync the frame limit performs that role). Smooth, impressive.

But it's the gam itself. I was surprised by how good it is after just an hour of play - so I continued and called in sick the next day.
