The WhatsNext verdict
If you have a patient co-op crew that enjoys complex systems and turning submarine disasters into shared stories, Barotrauma delivers unusually memorable teamwork. Skip it if you mainly play solo or want a gentle learning curve.
What it does best
Every crew member matters when the submarine starts dying
Disasters become stories your crew retells for years
The submarine’s systems constantly invent new disasters
Learning to run the submarine is the progression
What might put you off
A steep, poorly accessible learning curve
Much weaker with bots or solo play
The setup
What you are walking into
Barotrauma is a 2D online multiplayer game taking place in a submarine travelling through the icy depths of Jupiter’s moon Europa. The bone-crushing pressure outside the submarine, the strange creatures inhabiting the ocean and the potentially dangerous equipment and machines on board ensure that the tiniest slip can turn the game into a chaotic struggle for survival. The game is heavily inspired by Space Station 13 and a game concept called Pressure.
