    I was really hoping to enojoy this underwater survival horror since underwater horror and sharksploitation are really my thing.
    The game have a similar plot than some popular movies like Deep Star Six or particularly Deep Blue Sea, with a huge genetically altered shark on an underwater complex and the protagonist have of course to save the day as Thomas Jane in Deep Blue Sea.

But sadly the game fails his promise. The plot is just loosely based on movies mentioned above, the action and the chills are ineffective, the principal characters well isn't Thomas Jane and all is packed with poor design and ridiculous original score that absolutely not feet to the story (I mean seriously, electric guitar action as it was a damn Doom score for an underwater thriller?).
    I know this is a low budgeted indie game but the result looks way underaged as it was actually designed for last generation consoles.    … Expand

    Oh boy, where do I begin. Tragic textures, bugs and a mediocre storyline nullifies the potential this game had. I expected a horror-like subnautica, but I recieve this. Looks like an online game for free. Visuals are like 2010 visuals. The price tag is similar to many better games. Yikes...

    Before starting to play this game, one would expect a claustrophobic experience in the deepest marine darkness only with a shark as soon as it sees the slightest light, it will not hesitate to attack. However, the product is the aforementioned but the shark kills indiscriminately and no matter what, you can try a thousand ways to scare but the game sooner or later ends up frustrating theBefore starting to play this game, one would expect a claustrophobic experience in the deepest marine darkness only with a shark as soon as it sees the slightest light, it will not hesitate to attack. However, the product is the aforementioned but the shark kills indiscriminately and no matter what, you can try a thousand ways to scare but the game sooner or later ends up frustrating the player in a thousand different ways, no matter how many times you try to go from one area to another. another, it just takes a bit of luck to pass the levels, the soundtrack is stressful and put at a bad time, not to mention the voice acting that leaves much to be desired. If what you are looking for was a game to scare you and survive, please, see more options, there are many alternatives that are not so frustrating.… Expand

    To be sure, a story about sharks eating a bunch of people could absolutely be compelling. But it would require a lot more effort than what went into Submersed — which, as it stands, is too frustrating to be as creepy as it wants to be.

    The game's technical issues and inventory system bring it down heavily. Without the flaws, it's a decent survival horror game, but nothing that stands out that well. If you're a hardcore survival horror player, Submersed might be a game to consider (a guilty pleasure), but for those that want a quality survival horror, look elsewhere.

    Submersed is a tragic mess of mistakes, and in addition to everything above, it’s buggy. I had several crashes, textures sometimes disappear from walls if one gets too close, and I’ve fallen through solid floors. If it wasn’t already obvious that one solid setpiece can’t prop up a mediocre game, Submersed should be all the proof that’s required.
