Song of the Deep

One of my favorite games that I've ever played. It's beautifully drawn, has fun exploration and combat, excellent music, and has a great story. Most of the negative reviews are from people with thousands of hours in fps games, who's brains are so fried from constant stimulation they can't enjoy a story focused game. Another common complaint is that the controls suck, but that's just because the game takes place underwater. The controls look and feel great, and are consistent, if you have problems with them, its genuinely a skill issue. I played it first on my xbox one when it first came out, and it still holds up, almost nine years later.

Fun game, submarine metrovania-ish - Rather mellow, but does have a few tough spots.
The dashing against the current in some spots, is a bit annoying.
Aquaria is a similar style game.

really fun metroidvania, great story, wonderful world

Really fun and intriguing deep sea game. love it, reminds me of the movie song of the sea a little bit!!!

It's a competently executed metroidvania with art that, to me, screams 2010s indie game. It won't impress you with new mechanical or narrative concepts, but it's a pretty causal play that didn't leave me disappointed.

This game has a very charming and feel good story. I will say its not the best in terms of gameplay but I would say that I did have fun. There were parts that are kinda boring but it was quickly overturned with another story piece tying the game together very nicely. This game has a special place in my heart.

Good game with high production value. Definitely one kids can get into.
