Dead Sea is an action survival horror game developed by Brave Men Games and is released in 2012 for Xbox 360 through Xbox Indie Live Marketplace. As of October 7th 2017, the Xbox 360 Indie Games service has been shutdown, making this game not be able to be downloaded.

Story
The player take control of a bikini-wearing young woman whom, after her boyfriend was eaten by shark, has to survive in an ocean filled with bloodthirsty sharks.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) Annoying, sluggish, and delayed controls. Which are noticeable in the sequel.
 * 2) The animations on the characters look silly to the point it's hard to take the game seriously. The most notable is the game's swimming animation and that one death animation where the protagonist climbs up a buoy just to avoid getting eaten by shark only to get eaten by them.
 * 3) The developers on this game seems to also forgot to capitalize the letter "S" on the game's title for some unknown reason.
 * 4) The human characters' faces looks very creepy and appears to be dead-eyed for the wrong reasons, especially with one close up on the main character's deceased boyfriend's face in the opening cutscene.
 * 5) Poor voice acting in the sequel.
 * 6) Outdated-looking graphics that looks a game from PlayStation 2.
 * 7) Boring gameplay that comprises of swimming around the ocean to survive and the occasional QTEs that goes annoying and repetitive for a while.
 * 8) The game doesn't tell you where you should go, and how do you control the bikini-wearing girl.
 * 9) For some reason, this game has a sequel that is just as bad as this one.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) As stated in WiS #2, the character animations can sometimes be quite funny.
 * 2) The whole concept of a survival game where you controls a chick trapped an ocean full of sharks while trying to avoid them can be a very interesting premise for a game unless if it's well executed.
 * 3) The sequel, while still bad. Has some improvements such as the graphics being improved a bit, and the gameplay now being you in a lab walking instead of swimming.
