The down-to-the-bone feeling of discontent I had the entire time I explored the dry, dead edges of the map full of horrible things is a feeling I don't think I've ever experienced in a game. It felt like going to the forest at midnight. I was genuinely terrified but, more than that, I was completely unsure of what I'll find. That doesn't happen very often with games.

The sheer mystique surrounding the region is really impressive, and the fact that it's an overgrown, dangerous place covered in ancient ruins is really interesting. Aside from the factions in eutheria, it has some of the longest questlines in the game, and some of the most unique locations. The reach may seem like the basic forest level of an rpg, but it holds so much more in its hostile verdancy.

As much as I enjoy the vast gameplay improvements in Skies, I feel you can definitely feel the change in writing staff from Sea to Skies. Sea had 4 writers total -- with the head being one cancelled Alexis Kennedy, who also wrote for Cultist Simulator -- while Skies had twice that, with only two returning (Emily Short and Meg Jayanth, both listed as guest writers on Sea). I would not say that Skies has bad writing at all (it is generally excellent), but in the change of staff you can certainly see a change in what topics occur and in the levels of mystique. From a gameplay and, to a somewhat lesser extent, visual perspective, I would say that Skies is considerably better. The overall flow of the game is similarly smoother: it's not only easier to get into but there's a better sense of progression: you don't feel like you're simply treading the same ground since you get thrown into new regions with new hubs as you progress. But I will say that, in my uneducated opinion, I find *some* of the writing to be less impressive in Skies. Edit: After playing the game a lot more, I find the regional divisions even more repetitive than the homewater cycle in Seas. Because while in Seas you'll be seeing several ports constantly, they add a better contrast to the further-out areas, while in Skies, when you're in a region you're going to be seeing much the same for a while until you head out. Skies generally does a good job of fitting the ports in each region into each other; there's more spatial and thematic connection. However, at the same time I feel in that, while there's a greater cohesion in the setting, you get far less weird things that seem like one-offs -- there's really nothing that quite compares to an island full of stolen valor postmen where all the untersea's lost mail seems to wash up, or guinea pigs and rats engaging in an ongoing conflict over an iridescent chunk of coral. Most subjects presented are larger scale, and often closer in analog to real life goings-on. I will again reiterate that I do not dislike the writing in Skies -- it's generally fantastic and captures the general tone of what the Fallen London setting has always been like -- but I will say I generally preferred the level of mystique and singular strangeness present in Sea, even if in most every other regard Skies was an improvement.
@Nessie10012 жыл бұрын
This occured to me too and I think your observation is correct. I didn't play Sunless Sea yet but I did play Cultist Simulator, also written by Alexis Kennedy, and the writing there is on a whole other level than in Sunless Skies. Sunless Skies isn't horribly written but it doesn't have the same feeling at all, something about it just...
@Ryan-to9vh Жыл бұрын
The writing is really the backbone of games like these, and for a setting of Skies' type & scope, that's an extraordinarily difficult role to play. I didn't play Seas, but I can easily see the writing of Skies isn't doing justice to the setting, and it leaves both the world and the characters feeling flat and disjointed. For a game as slow-paced, sometimes tedious, as Sunless Skies you can't afford to have numerous disappointing 'stations' without causing serious frustration, before you even factor in stat checks and RNG. I sympathize with the difficulty of the writers' task here, but the game really needed better to realize its potential.
@Anon-te6uq11 ай бұрын
Skies had way better writing. Sea had some really cringe areas like pigmote isle or the empire of hands. Skies was pretty much great all the way through. Even when sea did have a good concept it didnt go nearly far enough with it. Most towns only had a few paragraphs of writing. Skies had pages and pages.
@Pimploaf_YTP11 ай бұрын
@Anon-te6uq there is absolutely nothing wrong with either of those locations. Subjectively. Also subjective is more always equalling better: I liked the openness and mystery that sea maintained throughout that skies tended to muddle with a bit too much made clear and upfront for my taste; but with that said I think it's unfair of me to expect skies to be like sea since the tone has shifted and it's trying to accomplish something different. It's more down to that, on a personal level, I like dark, mysterious, lonesome settings, and anything that leans harder into that will appeal to me more.

Just getting back to this review after finally getting the game. I agree 99% with your review. I did, however, find the storyline compulsion to get you back and forth among the regions to be one of the best parts of the game. For example, your Aunt has to go to The Reach, Elutheria and Albion. And, I liked having two Tier 4 weapons, going back to the Reach, and vaporizing those Scouts, Dreadnaughts and Marauders that pwned me in the early game. :) The option to build the Albion-Elutheria Transit Relay is pretty awesome, too.

Having more crew makes it safer to lose crew to events, as the events reduce your crew by fixed amounts but if you go under half total crew you take severe penalties while traveling. And you will lose a lot of crew to events.

I need to get back to this... I had exactly the same experience with the first area not being that good, I managed to get to steampunk Blade Runner but exploring a whole new area felt a bit overwhelming right after the first one, so I decided to take a break. Which has lasted up to present. I kinda feel like this is one of those games that could be pretty cool as a small scale persistent world multiplayer game, with different players choo-chooing around the place and causing the markets to go all wonky with their space-honey importing and train piracy, and with all of them affecting the world-state of the ongoing war.

I've played Sunless Sea and it's all about exploration, then you play and it;s really about micromanaging your supplies until you starve, drown, run out of fuel, or all of them at once two hours in. This sounds like they realized the main blocks to enjoying an open-RPG is making resource management a primary focus yet leaving it an afterthought compared to the story. I think I will look into this new and improved sequel. Thank for the great review.
