    Bom game metroidviana. Arte bem legal e que me agradou. Tem uma boa historia da filha a procura do pai. Ori the blind forest é melhor mas esse tambem não faz feio.

    After Blood and Wine, I didn't know what to play so I tried my luck with this game. I mean what could go wrong? Probably just a typical sidescroller type bash-em-up. I was wrong. It's an enchanting story about a girl who built a rickety submarine to look for her missing father. I don't want to give too much away but I assure you this game is up there with Ori and the Blind Forest. (And IAfter Blood and Wine, I didn't know what to play so I tried my luck with this game.

    I really enjoyed this game. The story, the music, the puzzles, the controls... all in this game is about flowing movements, which make you feel free and integrated in the environment, constantly surrounded by the music, which does not feel boring but mesmerising. Perhaps the game could have more types of enemies, and the final bosses could be a bit more difficult. Anyway, I´m really sickI really enjoyed this game.

This game is old school, not very difficult but enough challenging to keep you going deeper into the map. It reminds me Ori, and I would like more games like this. Congratulations to Insomniac. They made a game for my inner child. And after playing it, he feels grateful.… Expand

    Game runs really poorly on PC. Hitches and stutters almost constantly. This is running on a 2500k/780ti. Some say it's due to the game running on Unity. I found it to be unplayable.

    I was also not really a fan of the art style. The whole thing just felt a little amateurish, especially considering the pedigree of the studio.

    This game is very similar Aquaria (which is a much more enjoyable game but a bit older graphically). Still Song of the Deep is a good metromania game even if it gets a little monotonous after a while. Wort a try.

    Soundtrack, visuals, mechanics, story, everything plays nice together, creating a very nice game that has a little bit of everything, exploration, puzzles, combat, arcade elements, few intensive moments with soundtrack and story... None of these is on the top level, but it does very well in what it is meant to.

    “Metroidvania” for younger players attracts especially with its visual style, but has nothing else to offer to veteran players. [Issue#272]

    A lot of melancholy and poetry swims below the sea surface. You can watch it from the window of the submarine in the arcade with a non-linear design, charming graphics and a distinctive atmosphere. Fabulous Song of the Deep, however, could avoid the breakneck controls and frustrating puzzles.

    Song of the Deep's first two hours can lull you into thinking that this is an awesome game: nice relaxing soundtrack, sensitive gameplay rules, a seemingly wide selection of abilities and their combinations. In reality, you'll get annoying encounters, boring boss fights, and repetitive puzzles.
