    Submerged: Hidden Depths exists on its own chill plane – an exploration game that is truly about exploration and little else. Though some may feel that Submerged is lacking in mechanics, those that get onboard with its subdued vibe will find a lot of beauty in the experience. This is a gorgeous game, and exploring its mysteries is a reward in itself.

    Submerged is a wonderful, melancholic exploration game, that builds a more defined and evocative world than many AAA games do.

    Submerged: Hidden Depths must be taken for what it is if you really want to appreciate it: a descriptive and calm game, which in every way avoids creating conflicts.

    Submerged: Hidden Depths is a shallow and tedious exploration game focused on exploring the ruined and flooded remains of a lost world. During your journey, you'll find peace and serenity, but little in the way of engaging gameplay. It's got some charm hidden beneath the surface, but not enough to hold your interest.

    A beautiful and relaxing narrative-driven game, more about the experience of story and exploration than being a challenge to the player.

Akin to experiences like Journey. Thoroughly enjoyed it.… Expand

    This was a beautiful and perfect game to play during the pandemic. I highly encourage this game for anyone dealing with stressful situationsThis was a beautiful and perfect game to play during the pandemic. I highly encourage this game for anyone dealing with stressful situations in life. It's an "exploration game" and very much not your usual game.

    This game may get bad or mixed reviews, but I think you need to understand, this isn't a game so much as an experience with some gamification.

    I know that sounds weird but imagine tomb raider minus the combat, and without the ability to die. You might think huh, sounds boring. You'd be a bit wrong though. You'll find you only have successes. There is no true failing, and you are experiencing an emotional story happening as you progress. That is what this game is like.

    I highly recommend trying it. I also think given the nature of the game it's perfect for folks with disabilities or young kids. It doesn't require fast reflexes and controls are simple enough to work with any controller.    … Expand
