If you've never experienced running a nuclear reactor, going off to go fix something when the captain asks, coming back to the nuclear reactor, getting hit in the jugular by a 10 inch spike fired from outside the ship by nightmares beyond your comprehension, slowly bleeding out while the medic is trying to put out all the fires (plot twist they only exist in his head), and watch as the ship clown enters the reactor room, alarms start blaring, and the nuclear reactor detonates, instantly vaporizing the entire ship (and the contingent of immortal zombies lurking outside it). Then play this game, that'll happen

The highest Fun is not to seek or create Fun, but to allow yourself to become it. The serious person seeks to do Fun things, and finds that they cannot do them continually. The serious person tries to squeeze all the Fun out of the lemons they've been given, only to find the juice is sour. Praise the Honkmother.

this is by far my favorite game ever. Barotrauma looks simple, but there's so much you can do. Take the reactor for example. It isn't just a thing that you put a fuel rod in and everything has power, it sends its power through actual wires that can be rerouted, added to new things, or just fully removed and splits it up through actual junction boxes that can break. If you have the manpower you can manually control the reactor, changing how much heat it produces and how much power it makes, making it (ideally) more efficient and easing out the power fluxuations that turn off lights or overvolt devices. (or you can turn fission all the way up and turbine all the way down and blow it up, but you didn't hear that from me.) wires dont just transfer power btw. you can set up systems that range from showing a display of how much fuel is in the reactor to a lever that makes all the light strobe RGB. that's all just wiring. there's a medical system, ship upgrades, crafting and deconstructing, pulling off an away mission without a hitch is an artform, you get the point. or you can just say "fuck all that" and be a clown, get clown powers and become powerful enough to kill god. there's so much other things that can happen, too. this game can go from 0-100 in an instant. if the game looks fun to you, get it. if it dosen't look fun to you, get it anyway. there's plenty of mods that can fix any problem you could possibly have with the game. hell, there's a mod that adds an incredibly realistic medical system. that's one of the more popular ones, along with a mod that turns everyone into busty anime women. in short, game pog.

I own a railgun for submarine defense, since that's what the founding Europans intended. Four clowns break into my sub. "What the Jove?" As I grab my Renegade's hat and Model 6 Impierta Railgun. Blow a crawler-sized hole through the first clown, he's dead on the spot. Draw my handcannon on the second clown, miss him entirely because I don't have enough weapons skill and nails my crewmate's Petraptor. I have to resort to the detonator mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with C-4, "Tally ho lads!" the explosion shreds two clowns in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off nearby Molochs. Fix boarding axe and charge the last terrified buffoonist. He bleeds out waiting on the medical doctor to arrive since bleeding wounds are impossible to heal with morphine. Just as the founding Europans intended.
