    Song of the Deep doesn’t simply shine in one place more than another because there are so many elements that all come together to make this game truly fantastic.

    If you like Metroidvania games and the Child of Light/Ori and the Blind Forest atmospheres, Song of the Deep’s gonna give you a lot of satisfaction.

    A beautiful adventure under water, with a touching narrative, immersing the player in a dreamy fairytale Metroidvania.

    Song of the Deep is a very pleasant but mostly unoriginal game. It's pretty but not as much as Ori and the Blind Forest, the weapons are cool but not as inventive as in other games of the same studio. Still - this underwater adventure is worth your time but it could use some polishing.

    At first I was charmed, but Song of the Deep failed to rise to my initial expectations, because apart from an unusual setting and delightful fairy tale atmosphere it lacks something that would make it memorable. [10/2016, p.50]

    Song of the Deep is an action-adventure metroidvania that doesn’t go deep in the gameplay mechanics, but indeed goes deep in the journey underneath the sea.

    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.

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 sick of violent bloody games and bad playability these days. 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

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.    … Expand
