The verdict
Depth is a unique, tense shark-vs-diver asymmetric shooter that shines with friends. Skip it if you'd queue solo into a tiny, veteran-dominated player base.
Great for
Groups of friends who want tense asymmetric shark-vs-diver PvP, with bots as a fallback
Main risk
Tiny playerbase means long queues and getting stomped by veterans with thousands of hours
