Submerged is a third-person combat-free game in which you explore a mysterious flooded city and discover the beauty of desolation in vast outdoor environments. You take on the role of Miku, a young girl who has brought her wounded brother to the city in their small fishing boat. Navigate the flooded city streets by boat, scale the drowned buildings, and use your telescope to scour the city for the supplies needed to save your dying sibling. As you explore the city at your own pace, you encounter the habitat that flourishes in this colorful place and discover hidden objects that piece together the story of a broken world and a broken family.

First chapter of the "saga" with all the graphical limitations that existed in 2015. Even if it's still beautiful to look at and play. 8/10 my rating.

Climb the gray buildings within the beautiful landscape of an urban apocalypse; cross the reflections of the sunset and moonlight on the sea aboard a boat. This marks the beginning of quest to rescue younger brother amidst the submerged city and the concrete jungle covered in green.

This game is fine, but it gets boring really quick. I don't mind playing games without any action, but a game with a map this large would benefit from having some sort of jump mechanic to make movement more tolerable and fun. Often there are places where there is a very short gap or a small wall or a pile of debris, and you're forced to take a detour grabbing through ledges, where simply jumping, grabbing or walking over it would do just fine, and more realistic too. Being able to let go of slightly higher ledges and fall into the water and swim would also make things a lot more interesting and climbing down from buildings would be much less boring.
More variation across areas would help lots as well, everything is very pretty, but it quickly becomes confusing and repetitive and it's easy to get lost even if one pays attention to the map. Having different colours on buildings and flora, making the indoors of a few buildings explorable and so on.
The storytelling is also a bit lacking, and the cipher alphabet is uncreative to the point where it's obvious what most things mean, but knowing them doesn't add much value to the storytelling, and the way it unfolds fails to make one have attachment to the characters. It's too long to be played in one sitting, but too short and unmemorable to make it worthy coming back to over and over. There are also some visual glitches, but what annoyed me the most is that the music resets when the game is paused, but it's not consistent when that happens.
I would say it's forgiving and something my mom would enjoy playing, but the lack of more obvious visual cues of where you should go makes it frustrating. The telescope doesn't have a long range, the visual cues such as fireflies, banners and flowers are not always clearly visible, etc.
Overall it's a very pretty game, with nice music and nice visuals, but it ends there and it's more like something one would play on a long trip as a distraction. It could live up to its potential and be something more.

A drowned city, a strange infection. Taku and Miku arrive at a submerged metropolis in search of medical supplies air-dropped and abandoned on rooftops left over from the end of the world. Taku is injured with a high fever, so it’s up to Miku to take care of her little brother and climb the ancient, crumbling towers. The animal life here is strange, tinted green with glowing bioluminescent spots that light up at night similar to patches of plants floating on the water but even stranger- Miku doesn’t think she and Taku are alone.
2-5+ hours, Submerged is a post-apocalyptic open world with parkour that I actually consider to be a walking sim. It’s fairly relaxing, there is no time limited events, it’s impossible to fall or die, and there are no enemies. While the puzzles are non-existent, the storyline is learned slowly through drawings collected encouraging adventures around the city and looking for landmarks. Graphically, the game is beautiful, climbing around and up towers is pretty fun, and I particularly enjoyed the overgrowth of plant life even in the most unlikely places. Dolphins follow your boat as you explore and there are quite a few interesting locations and encounters should you choose to play.

Not much to it, but it works as a distraction for a few hours. You can't die and there are no time constraints. It's all about exploring, progressing through the story at your own pace, and the occasional mermaid orgy.

Submerged is Chill & Relax! The visuals are wonderful, the story is sad, and the gameplay is not bad. Over all great game for family night. However, this is in no way an action/shooter game. There are no enemies, it is a search and rescue adventure. Enjoy
