“I LOVE this game. I will be even more excited when they get their saves implemented as well I really hope they avoid the "Company" aspects and "quota" aspects with 3-ish day intervals. Just having the ability to vibe…”
“pretty under appreciated Lethal Company-like, honestly if they just updated the game more frequently I'm sure they'd get a bigger player base, because there is something unique in this one. Murky Divers is more focused…”
“Probably the best "Friendslop" game I've played yet and I've played all the most hyped ones. Maneuvering the ship adds something that makes the other games in the genre feel so lacking.”

“You definitely need the OST for purchase. I have had the songs on repeat for a week. Amazing game. Just fun as hell with the right idiots.”
“Of course, people are going to compare this to other popular horror games but I can confidently say that Murky Divers has earned its own identity. Unlike some of those other games, it has gameplay customization, drop…”

“Super fun and scary game! I like that some of the enemies aren't even fish-like. As someone scared of the deep ocean it was scary, but still manageable to play. The controls for the ship are unique and really make it a…”
“I'm 48 and I enjoy every minute playing with my kids and their friends. I need to lear more to be more efficient and I'm looking forward to it.”

“it seems very nice to start, many aspects are a significant upgrade from lethal company. however, there's just not much to experience from what i've seen. there's only a few levels and the procedural generation is not…”
“great if you want repo or lethal company but worse, just another friend slop game without it's own identity. go play the originals instead if you value your time 3.5/10”
“Constantly encountered bugs that were genuinely inconvenient and stopping the flow of gameplay. Voice chat wasn't connecting properly, one friend couldn't reconnect to an old lobby, keybind changes got constantly reset,…”

“It took me an entire hour to figure out how to properly rebind my controls for this game. I decided to change my control bindings because the default control scheme for a controller in this game, is awful. Punching and…”
“When first playing with no guides and friends all new to the game, it is very complicated. Driving the sub to locations is not explained well, if at all. Meaning you must look up how to do it. This makes the game hard…”

“Honestly, I had no idea what I was doing or where I was, my oxygen at 2%, and two of my friends were eaten by a giant spaghetti monster while I got chased by the police, trying to hide bodyparts in a shredder. I couldn't even breath from laughing. [b]Pure fever dream, definitely…”

— a player, Steam review · 9 hrs played“there are not words to describe, what’s possibly the most insane atmospheric underwater horror game. Literally everything from the subtle ambient music that plays while driving, to the massive police ship that slowly approaches you. There’s not enough appreciation for this game.”
