Wot I liked - The world of fallen London. Haven't heard of it - grew fond of it; - Various dialogue trees/options. Seem to have a significant impact on the game; - Nice artstyle; - Exquisite language of the narration - I cannot express it strong enough - I've always been a sucker for elaborate writing and walls of text, but Sunless Sea is just a lot of fun to read as a book. I was really embarrassed/excited that I had to google some words to get the full understanding; - Many different monster types with cool descriptions and interactions; - Nice atmosphere. You'd think that looking at a top-down boat knifing the darkness in front of her with a lantern is not enticing - you'd better think again; - Wonderful music! Wot I disliked - Simplistic boat itemization - there are like 5-10 similar weapons (of 3 types), and some auxiliary items - nothing gamechancing... - Kinda repetetive. Sailing in the zee is okayish but 99% of the fights are resolved by backtracking/sticking to the back of the enemy ship; - Some game mechanics: e.g. your ship's hold is TOO DAMN SMALL. I have a dreadnought (the biggest ship in the game AFAIK) and I have to backtrack all over the map because I don't have a bale of some cloth or a sack of coffee or a bottle of wine for some wino! To sum it all up - I feel that this is a great game following in the footsteps of Space Raqngers. You should definitely check out both games cause SS is the spiritual successor or SR. ...Or just go and buy the soundtrack.
