    Really just a fantastic game. Immersive and fun. I couldn't ask for more.
    Others have complained about the controls, but I really liked them once I got used to them.

    This game feels like a trip to late 90's - early 00's PC adventure games; I couldn't help but be reminded of my first time playing Myst and dealing with a relatively clunky interface trying to explore a beautiful and quirky world. There's no way around it, the controls DO suck pretty bad and navigating between dialogue and actions in the game is akin to pulling teeth; however, this gameThis game feels like a trip to late 90's - early 00's PC adventure games; I couldn't help but be reminded of my first time playing Myst and dealing with a relatively clunky interface trying to explore a beautiful and quirky world. There's no way around it, the controls DO suck pretty bad and navigating between dialogue and actions in the game is akin to pulling teeth; however, this game has real meat hidden here with some thrilling submarine combat and some positively horrifying experiences mid-to-late in the game. I give this game the lowest "green" score for Metacritic for delivering such a wonderful experience throughout IMO while acknowledging the glaring flaws hampering it. Kudos to the small team that developed Diluvion!… Expand

    I always wanted my own submarine and go on an adventure and now i can!

    pros: - Beatifull graphics and design - fluid controls (gamepad) and dialoque system. - exploring the seas is amazing - beatiful soundtrack - fun missions -combat is cool and rewarding - I love the landmark and compass mechanics in place really feels like finding your own way in the ocean which is awesome (and    I always wanted my own submarine and go on an adventure and now i can!

    pros:
    - Beatifull graphics and design
    - fluid controls (gamepad) and dialoque system.
    - exploring the seas is amazing
    - beatiful soundtrack
    - fun missions
    -combat is cool and rewarding
    - I love the landmark and compass mechanics in place really feels like finding your own way in the ocean which is awesome (and if you are really lost there are some nice fishes who will guide you to a landmark from which you can orient where you are)

    cons:
    - sadly no voice acting
    - some fps dips here and there but few and far in between
    - while the controls for gamepad are amazing and fun to use keyboard and mouse is a bit clunky

    overall:
    damnn what a fine game this is, if you love exploration,navigation and submarine combat this game is right up your alley!    … Expand

    Not a perfect game, but graphics and mechanics are nice and the ocean is very immersive. I hope the devs will succeed more with their upcoming game

    Definitely recommended game.
    People that complain about controls or difficulty they just have no clue and their rating and review rights should be revoked indefinitely. Its a damn submarine in a beautiful and dangerous 3D world, what do you expect to have? Street Figher controls? Wake up!
    Lovely story, lovely world and world building, great game. Huge bonus, does not require tens of    Definitely recommended game.

    Diluvion is neither especially pretty nor polished, it can be frustrating and its low budget is obvious, but despite all that I stayed in the office after hours to play it not because I had to, but because I wanted to. Leisurely exploration of a silent, atmospheric underwater world is surprisingly enjoyable. [04/2017, p.54]

    Diluvion has a fresh setting, but hasn't had enough thought put into its systems to maintain interest. [March 2017, p.69]

    It's a lesson in wonderful concept and poor execution. If you were looking for the next Subnautica or Sunless Sea, this isn't quite there.
