Bought this game over 10 years ago when it first came out and didn't finish it. I have now gone back and finished it, 100% complete save for a few stray treasures. Overall the game was a 7.5 of 10 for me. It is a Metroidvania, but it is of a slower, and somewhat more casual pace. Even though it was made by a AAA studio, there is some jank occassionaly with how treasure, items, or puzzles interact. Nothing stupidly game breaking, but it did make some things more frustrating then they seemed to need to be. The Story is simple, but good and the narration is on point. Gameplay wise there's plenty of collectables, mostly treasures which can be used to purchase some upgrades. Sub control is pretty good, feels like you're in a craft for sure. Combat is pretty simple, and somewhat braindead later at times. Is this a game you should buy and must play? Probably not, but it is still a solid game. Honestly I think it kinda got a bit overshadowed by other's when it came out due to 2016 being a big year for games. If it's on sale and you want to dump about 7-10 hours into a decent Metroidvania with a rarely seen underwater themem then I say grab it!

Cute game that will keep you entertained for a day or 2. If you like Aquaria you'll like this one even though there's more fighting, but also more puzzles. Graphics and music are great, controls are interesting, game difficulty gets easy if you collect a lot of stuff, the progression feels like you're getting more powerful, which is good. Very nice!

A criminally underrated game made before the genre started to get red hot with myriad releases per year. I tend to think Ori and Hollow Knight overshadowed other games like this for whatever reasons. Play this game on intermediate if you want to go through it in a more streamlined way, don't hurt yourself advancing, and this becomes a beautiful Metroidvania that covers the sea like few others do. With 4K the visuals still hold up today. I started this a long time ago, and I thought hey let's get back into this one because I had always been meaning to do so but never found the time. It was a great decision. Only 27% of people have beaten the first boss, which kind of surprised me, but the opening has some freedom, so it's possible people got lost despite the narrative push. Keep playing. Because once you get torpedoes the game completely opens up. Just pay attention to the narration, and your intuition should do the rest with some time. I have as much fun playing this as any of the other top-tier games in the genre. It's a nice change to deep dive and get this kind of aesthetic for a fair price. The puzzles are fantastic as well and give it a solid level of depth that maybe the combat doesn't always have. I appreciated how interacting with different creatures leads to a lot of collectibles and items you can use. Insomniac definitely thought this one through. Some of the laser puzzles are extremely well-done. My only complaint really is a small one with sound. The motor of the vehicle seems to have a light crackling sound after the sample ends. It's not overly jarring, but it is bothersome in my headphones at times to hear that weird static sound every now and then. Turn up the music a bit more than sound effects, and it's barely there. Not really sure why that is on the end of the sample. Should have been fixed because playing with louder sound effects or no music and it's very apparent. I fully recommend this game regardless of any small flaws. It's a treat with a warm story and details that will remind you slightly of a good Verne novel visualized quite well on screen. It's not a masterpiece, but it's a very solid game up there with the best of them. I never felt I was retreading ground much, and the map is diverse enough to keep one interested in moving forward. Excellent music with a classical and choral vibes enhances the gameplay quite perfectly. Don't miss out on this game if you are a fan of Metroidvanias.

Pretty decent. Highly similar to Aquaria in theme and mechanics. Just as unlikely we'll ever get a sequel though.

A solid 7/10 it is worth the price and very fun beuatiful story. However, the combat is a little lacking. All in all, I had fun and it was worth my time and money
