I think mandaloregaming did a video on a game that is relevant.
As for my favorite submarine game, that would be treasures of the deep on Playstation 1. Arcade, but I just love how it feels

to be fair the playstation controller is pretty reliable...
Only reliable thing involved.
I would trust a PlayStation controller with my life. Not Logitech.
It was a logitech controller, either an f310 or f710. The f310 is one of the best budget controllers ever, and I keep 4 at all times to play modded smash bros. There were a million things wrong with oceangate, but the controller wasn't one of them.
It was the F710 wireless one. I only remember because I thought they should at least used the wired 310 to eliminate interference and/or lag since you're using the damn thing to steer a vehicle. I barely trust wireless controllers to save my life in Elden Ring; I sure as shit wouldn't put my actual life on the line with one.
Logitech is the king of the budget device. I've had the same wireless mouse for almost 10 years give or take. Best 10 bucks I ever spent.
Counterpoint - I've had two Logitech mice, both dired with the same issue (dying RMB switch), and a Logitech keyboard which lost a key and you can't buy replacements.
Logitech
I thought it was XBox?
okay but how are you gonna fit an entire generation of humans into one tiny submersible?
I think deep underwater there is enough pressure to push them all it.
It still befuddles me, especially since it's a specific format for a horror story: A bunch of rich people pay through the nose for a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and of course it kills them (though the final girl might escape). The Menu was a recent example. Maybe to get Stockton Rushed should now mean to buy a super expensive experience or trip or thing that kills you.
A drug named Stockton Rush would be super expensive, and the most amazing trip ever, and fatally toxic.
So if you're hiring someone to chart out your trip to Everest or the Titanic or the moon or something, it's good to get your legal team to do some due diligence and make sure the company knows what its doing. (For a deeper dive, check out Behind the Bastards' two-parter on Stockton Rush. All the warning signs were there he was doing mad science and not listening to his deep-sea experts.
Also, the door that only can be opened from the outside was total early foreshadowing.
The restaurant for The Menu would have checked out unless you had an inside man there for the previous few months before the events of the movie. They operated for years, right up until the final night, as one of the best restaurants in the world.
True. It was also intentional whereas an IRL stockton-rush is more likely to kill you through incompetence or underestimating the challenges. (A lot of people die on Mt. Everest just from the elements and preparation miscalculations.) Though if you die because you hired the Joker, that might be incompetence on your own behalf.
My take on The Menu is that the Hawthorne exploded due to compound stress of its staff. While this is accurate representation of the restaurant industry as a whole (in the US at least), their austere lifestyle may have accelerated the process.
