So, I finally went after a boss. My map has all three bosses circling one island and that gives me a great launch point as that island is only one away from home. I went after the Meg. Made the mistake of staying on my raft. I had a very difficult time keeping track of it. So, I restarted and went to the capsized ship. Took a potion and a speargun and killed Meg without needing a breath. Be cautious of some YT vids showing ■■■■■■■■■■■ Meg. Some techniques may not work.
But, I’m not sure if I will ever kill the bosses again after doing it once. According to the Xbox achievement metrics, nobody else does it either, or completes the game at all. Less than a half percent get Ahab or Escape achievements.
More, I’m not sure I’ll do another play through. I certainly won’t do the ending. (I have seen the ending, and well, not good. Might as well have made the entire game a dream or added time travel since nothing you do for the entire game actually matters at the end.) I’m not seeing the replay ability of this title. Once you’re established on an island, it’s just wash, rinse, repeat. I’m not one to build any grand structures, no water slides or piers, or castles or high rises apartment complexes.
I don’t mind the day to day activities, but at some point I’ll be out of resources that no longer respawn. And then what?
I’ve put some good hours into the game. I love the visuals. I’ve had fun. But my tropical island days are almost up. Without new content or fixed content, Stranded Deep will soon be mothballed.
