    This is boring hell. Copy-made buildings, copy-made routes on them, most boring gameplay i have seen so far, almost non-existing poor story. Don't waste your time and money.

    Boring as hell with seriously dated graphics. Feels extremely cheap, little effort and money has been spent making this game. Destructoid's (critic) review is spot on. Don't waste your time or money on this garbage.

    It's pretty, it's boring...very boring.

    but for real, it looks really nice. it's a sweet style. but holy crap that stuff is repetitive. It's like a lot of reviews already mention, boat, climb, boat, climb, boat, climb, boat, climb... The story made me curious but the slow and mundane game-play made me quit half way..I can't do this, it's too... boring. I'm just gonna YouTube the game    It's pretty, it's boring...very boring.

    Yes, The game is beautiful ... at times at least. From a distance the buildings look good, but up close they are completely flat and the graphics of moss, and other vegetation are repeating patterns. It looks cheap and it is cheap. It's meant to be sold by its trailers that promised something this game doesn't live to be.

    The gameplay is absolutely dull. The climbing of the buildings offers no challenge, you cannot fall, you can only move in the direction where there is a ledge or a ladder never in a random direction. At the beginning it seems as though the game play will become more complicated and challenging. Think again! It's all the same till the end - pointless climbing that gets really annoying.
    You should know that there isn't anything hidden in this game, even the higher buildings which I thought
    will hold some secret are simply models, not real game objects, they cannot be reached or climbed.
    The submerged city is really small, REALLY. You climb 8 buildings and that's it, continuous , uninteresting climbing ( no alternative paths) .
    After all this said, I have to say that at times the game is beautifully looking and the atmosphere is capturing, but only in some specific moments.    … Expand

    This is an awful boring game of just climbing buildings. The world is flooded and you have a boat with which you travel around the world. There are 12 buildings on which you can climb and get the emergency supplies that you use to heal your wounded brother. Its just boring climbing from one building getting the item then seeing a small cutscene and repeating the whole process again. SuperThis is an awful boring game of just climbing buildings.

    Submerged is just not worth two hours of your life.

    Disappointing. This could have been a truly poetic title centered on discovery and exploration, but the technical problems, bad level design, and weak storyline destroy the experience.

    Good exploration game should have a fascinating world and an above average storytelling – or at least one of these elements. Submerged has the direction right but doesn’t push far enough with it. [10/2015, p.67]
