“10 ториевых стержней из 0 генераторов, humorous recommendation”
капитан подлодки накачал меня каким-то припаратом и у меня началась зависимость к веществам и я начал умирать, потом он меня вылечил от зависимости хотя я просто сказал ему что у меня ушиб. 10 ториевых стержней из 0 генераторов (он рванул)

“incredible atmosphere with great sound design, visuals and setting” (43)
У игры порог вхождения, выше среднего. Но не пугайтесь этого, ведь когда вы немного разберётесь в механиках игры (а их тут довольно таки много), вы начнёте получать огромное удовольствия от процесса игры. Ещё у игры невероятная атмосфера. Звуки, сеттинг, картинка, всё на высоте! 10 грязевых рапторов из 10!

“amazing co-op fun with friends, creative chaos and teamwork” (160)
Barotrauma-это та игра, где ты можешь пропить деньги команды, после чего твои же напарники наденут на тебя наручники, вколют паразита и заварят в комнате. И в итоге ты будешь лежать пьяный в собственной рвоте с паразитом в теле. Так что берите своих друзей за шкирку и вперед исследовать глубины марса!
