Barotrauma

Never-ending ouroboros of tomfoolery and sh*tposting, nothing will happen and everything will happen at once.

Picture this,

You are in the final section, the biggest eldritch horror is just outside the window. Everyone else has died due to pressure (literally and figuratively). What do you do? You chug 10 bottles of rum and stick opium into your body like shoveling coal into a furnace, then you put on your diving suit and take your trusty assault rifle and just start swimming and firing.

Welcome to Europa.

Bit janky with the networking, you end up popping around a lot even with low ping, but the game is super fun. Exploring, building your ship and leveling up. Each encounter is a adventure!

This game is the most ridiculous, absurd, wild great time I've ever had in a Multiplayer format.

decent game but can we NOT MAKE IT AN INDUSTRY STANDARD TO HAVE BLARINGLY LOUD INTROS TO YOUR FUCKING GAMES
nothing turns me off more from playing your fucking game than your default loud ass developer logos or cinematics that i could not give a flying fuck about
drives me insane as someone with auditory sensitivity.
just have the default volume of the game not automatically at 100, simple! not hard! do it right!

Oyun aşırı iyi ama genede bazı eksikleri var.Mesela bir kıytırık görevden bile 1000 1500 lira kazanabilirken nadir bir çıkan maden 10 lira oluyor o çok saçma olmuş en azından madenlerin fiyatı 3 4 katına çıkmalı.Ve ayrıyetten istasyonlardan birşey çalındığında görmeseler bike direk -1 yiyoruz ve ayrıyetten güvenlikler gelip bizi dövüyor.Bence kimse görmeden bir nesne çalındıgında farkedilmemelidir.Oyun güzel bazı eksiklerinii söyledim net deneyiniz aga.Mert adında bi 200 saati olan otozimliyle oynuyom.

Have you ever wanted to rely on and resent your friends at the same time? This game is for you. I have had many horrific encounters with eldritch horrors of the deeps whilst at the throats of my fellow mates. I would recommend this, if only to murder your friends with cyanide 10/10 game

игра прекрасна во всех смыслах можно играть даже без интернета

Sea the world, nuke it half to death.

Inject kaiju DNA directly into your veins. Become a zombie that can swim at crush depth.

Good game.

I love this game to my core, the gameplay loop is fun, theres good mods, playing with a group is awesome; but finding that group is hard when it's $30 and people get uninterested after playing for 30 minutes and nothing happens

its a great game when you play it with friends it can go really well or really bad

Best co op game I've ever played. Also the mod support is so good. There is just so much to do in base game and even more in mods.

Amazing game with friends that puts a lot of emphasis on coordinated teamwork. While I recommend it, I must point out that it's a very slow and methodical experience. Still, it's very rewarding and fun.

Super cool, just wish there were more creatures, it feels kinda empty.

"I just can't explain it, this urge to go deeper into Europa... I can feel it calling to me, the thing I've been trying so hard to get to. I'm so close... Ever since I got here on Europa something has been calling to me from the depths. It's beautiful and I can't ignore it's sound. This might be my last recording, the crew has gone mad, and I'm the only normal one left."

I really do enjoy this game, vanilla has got to be some of the best game play I've ever played, even without mods, but with mods, it's like throwing a match into a lake of gasoline. It always makes me come back to play. Even if i had 40 fps with constant stuttering (I don't have the best graphics card BUT I believe it's because i have too many npcs on my screen. my fps got worse with the increase of npcs because of my bad graphics card or vram or whatever I'm not good with computers I just want to play good games) I had unbelievable fun playing. I've only played campaign solo because I have no friends but I play with crazy amount of mods and oh my god, they are so well optimized. I only lag because of the NPC count on screen. If you're looking for a good game.. Heh, you've found it.

Looks deep (*pun intended*). JK, game is interesting but very complex. Gotta invest a lot of time to just learn some of the very basic stuff. 10hrs in trying to learn whatever and I feel overwhelmed. I heard playing along other people is a blast. One day maybe I get back to it with more time to spare.

Nice game , both single player and multiplayer, especially multiplayer

an amazingly immersive game with great modablity

Dramatically improved from early access. Campaign mode with bots in single player is actually playable now - and that simply was not the case in early access.

Coop in campaign mode is a blast to play and the modding scene greatly expands the game world.

Sure there is still some jank in the game, but at this point it's actually part of the charm.

Barotrauma has enlightened me to the true essence of tomfoolery. The level of clown shenanigans that occur under my leadership is unparalleled. I shall now seek to become Fun, rather than simply seeking fun to enjoy it like a Serious Man. HONK HONK HONK!

In all serious, the game is amazing, and I've especially loved the religious factions and using components to wire up fun stuff like a clown disco room.

great multiplayer, kinda a pain in the ass at times, but still fun

20,000 leagues under the sea but in space and about a hundred times more fucked up. Co-op is a great time allround and even singleplayer is quite good for a playthrough or two, but the game is definitely geared more towards the multiplayer and so without that it does lose some of its replay value.

Well worth purchasing and playing, though maybe not at the price it's gone upto (like c'mon yeah, a bit expensive no? haha), otherwise I totally vibe.

its difficult to play alone but if your playing with friends it becomes amazing.

calm and relaxing game only when your awful "friends" are floating around rotting and decaying for all who play this game go insane shortly after.
please note that buying a gun is a MUST if you wish to survive long enough to have fun

If you can get past the often clumsy controlls this is a very atmospheric, exciting and challenging game.

It shines if you can get a group of people together for multiplayer but is also very good as a solo experience. The bots can be given a list of commands and you can take direct control of them seamlessly and at any point.

The campaign has an appropriate difficulty curve and there is an okay amount of variety and content.

The game receives slow but steady updates from the devs and there is a lot of mods on the workshop to fill the game with more content.

one of the best games i have ever played the replayability of this game is insane no 2 runs will be the same as well as the fact that there is an active modding community as well as active players constantly so you can always find someone to play with.

This game is messed up terrifying and insane. Truly simulates the horrors of deep sea exploration and the violent death that comes with it. I don't know why we choose to play these games but we do

i've played this hidden gem for quite a while, and it has been amazing from the start!
literally just goof around with friends/random gigashitters in submarine and kill big creature
stay up late at night playing with your friends and lose valuable hours of sleep!!!!!!!!!!
make new friends (the community is racist and amazing!!!!)
also it has endless workshop content!!!
did I mention the OST?!!?!???!
11/10 met some great people

Within the first 20 minutes I got addicted to opiates, got attack by some sort of god-forsaken poop shark, and then entered recovery.

10/10

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 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.

amazing game, but the fact you can have PETS is some straight up satan shit

me and my gf love playing this game, i got it when i learned it was made by the same visionaries that made containment breach. we love it, it's a lot of fun, we're still begginers but we're learning. one expedition we find a box inside the sub, we open it at gunpoint and out comes...
THE CUTEST FUCKING THING I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY GOD DAMN LIFE. IT'S LIKE A MIX BEWTWEEN A TOAD AND A SLUG MAKING PURRING NOISES.
we immediately bonded with it as though it was our own flesh and blood. we spent an hour just playing with it, feeding it and got into a fiery debate about where we should put it so it can stay safe. we come to the consensus that the gunnery room is the safest.
we go along with our expedition until disaster stikes. we're attacked, i go to try and fix a pump and a mudraptor comes out and mauls me to death. the entire ship floods as we're under attack by about 5 crawlers. our pet is still alive, blissfully unaware of the danger around him as he swims around the flooded sub carefree.
then my girlfriend makes a horrible mistake. she turns on the reactor while its flooded and idk what she did, but the whole thing blew up and flooded us with radiation. we struggle to salvage what little remains of the ship when we realise that we dont know where our pet is.
we put everything on standby and desperately look for him, and finally my girlfriend finds him. silent and immobile. she picks him up and brings him to me.
i try everything i can think of to wake him up but it's evident that he died in the explosion.
we load a save and hope that maybe just maybe we'd be blessed with this pet's presence within our ship. but no such thing happens.
the box didnt even spawn.
she cried and i dont blame her
10/10 but the emotional damage is actually gonna last for weeks, idk if she'll be able to keep playing for a bit

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 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 :)

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

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)

Game is near perfection! No complaints! The playerbase is scarce though unfortunately. Half of them will kick you despite being the only other player in their lobby over nothing. The other half will give you a good time. Definitely one you play with friends.

Good with friends and if you really don't like it just mod the game too hell until you do

I've spent hours in multiplayer, playing with mods and people I've never met again. Most of the time the community in game is helpful, and the mechanics within feel really good as you're exploring the depths of Europa's frozen sea!

yes very good game with mods BAD vanilla

Fun and diverse game, lets you do a lot of stuff, has a huge modding community and is a great fun with friends, either casually messing around or having serious roleplay game

One of the most unique and engrossing games I have ever played. The constant ocean dread, survival chaos and interesting mechanics along with ease of entry make this a fantastic game, however even after all this time and thousands upon thousands of hours I keep coming back and playing/modding/shipbuilding.

However while I cannot recommend this game enough it does have some severe warts you have to be aware of before you take your first plunge into that midnight sea.

1. Performance, the game was originally designed to run on a single core and it shows, we joke it runs best on a Pentium 4. I have a fairly beefy rig and due to hyper threading I still have some serious load in time issues. The majority of players run the LUA for Barotrauma extension Clientside along with Evil Factory's Experimental performance fix. The 2024 Winter update did some changes to ruins that have made Performance Fix almost mandatory for Vanilla server playthroughs as there can be extreme FPS drops in the Great Sea region in particular due to multiple effects that occur on those levels alongside the more larger more intensive ruins.

2. Community, its small, heavily fractured among 3 big factions English, Russian and Chinese. With extremely small Spanish and German communities. Also there is a fair amount of toxicity due to people learning to play the game amongst friends for months that would result in getting banned on most public servers. This leads to a fair amount of friction and there are constantly singular and groups of trolls that roam around trying to find servers to grief leading to very heavy private and whitelist servers.

3. Modding, game has an excellent open ended .xml framework with modded LUA extension and even C# through that. However 60% of servers in public are usually vanilla games which are perfectly fine to play and really help you learn the game. The reason modding accounts for a smaller share is due to the difficulty of balancing a good modpack, learning how to stack mods that require patches and/or LUA/C# as well as public players having a hard time setting up LUA and trying to just force join a server that bugs out constantly. There are a lot of very old mods people also try to run that severely impact the performance of the game and some mods have entire mindsets around how they should function or impact player interactions that differ WILDLY between servers. People will refuse to play the game without X mod but if Y submod of X or if X and Z are used together they will also refuse to play making building a collection challenging to say the least.

4. Baro burnout, its a big issue for longtime players who just get sick of multiple aspects of the game such as performance issues, lack of new content, dealing with drama from other players or just crisis management. A lot of new players quit very early due to feeling like the game has a high skill wall for the mechanics, culture shock from joining a string of toxic or unwelcoming servers or just repeatedly getting kicked or banned from not understanding what they were doing is wrong and/or becoming toxic due to this.

That being said if you can tough through some hard times and make it through several sessions of a campaign you will be rewarded with one of the most unique and memorable gaming experiences possible. as you and the crew band together to survive in a hostile alien ocean inside a rickety secondhand submarine locked in the midst of a full on civil war fueled by rampant societal decay from decades of isolation from Earth. As you dive ever deeper and uncovering mysteries of the moons myriad factions and the ruins of an ancient civilization.

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

its fun with a good bit of challenge dont play if you are easily frustrated

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.

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

I like submarines and horror. Game is good

Pee is stored in ballast and there are mudraptors in engineering but i have to look at the sonar also the assistant has a funny throat penis and we gotta fix that so the medic is taking him to the airlock to "treat" him while the security officer is snorting all the meds oh and the ballast flora is consuming the whole ship.

Strong recommend, happy sailing submariners.

As a side note: our top moment so far: We are in a brand new Orca 2, the gunner is checking out his very first railgun. As we set sail, I (capitan) spot some hammerheads on the sonar, i relay that info to him and he shoots them kinda late, when they were basically right under the command room. As i later realised the railgun shell he used was packed with C4 - the explosion severed both my legs, threw me up to the ceiling with such impact that my neck breaks and im dead on the spot.

The best co-op game I've played so far, with simple mechanics yet rich in features that other games don't have

Beautiful art, beautiful world, beautiful horror and beautiful morphine addiction. A great game with a great concept. Has its issues like any other, its 2D format and overall design limit its capability slightly but none of it takes away from how great of an experience this game is both in building, hardcore survival and absolute silliness with friends.

Also a great advertisement for clowns in general.
