Terribly overrated Indie game sighted: Sunless Sea by Mischief Maker 02/07/2015, 3:51pm PST
It actually has a pretty neat trailer that promises a lovecraft-style horror game taking place in an alien sea. It had a prequel called "fallen london" that I tried out, but it turned out to be a freemium microtransaction-fest. What's worse, the horror gameplay promised actually turned out to be a lame comedy game:



Eurogamer, still infamous in my mind for giving clearly 7/10 quality Strike Suit Zero a 3/10 rating because reviews suck at games, gave Sunless Sea 10/10. The pro reviews don't get any less blowjobby from there. The one point of light is a gog review describing the game freemium grindfest gameplay without the microtransactions to alleviate the tedium, and permadeath which does not at all go with hundreds of hours of grinding gameplay.

Be alert!
