    This was such a fun exploration game. The world was really beautiful to explore and it had great music to accompany you along the way. The boat was fun to drive around on, with the player being able to find upgrades to make it even better.

The world was really beautiful to explore and it had great music to accompany you along the way. The boat was fun to drive around on, with the player being able to find upgrades to make it even better. Climbing around all these old structures was really cool, exploring a world that has been submerged. You really get a sense of what was lost, and get to see the emotions of people that had once lived in these cities.

    The story was really interesting but I would keep getting lost in what it was about. I got the general idea of it, but I feel the main details could have been explained a bit better. With this being an exploration game you can expect to find collectibles, and this game sure does have a lot of them. However, the game offers a really fun experience to travel around so it probably wouldn't take long to find them all.    … Expand

    Beautiful exploration and area-puzzle game, similar to the Breath of the Wild and the recent Tomb Raider games but without any combat. Great family-friendly, relaxing game.

    A beautiful and relaxing narrative-driven game, more about the experience of story and exploration than being a challenge to the player. No game overs, no dying - not every game needs to be. Akin to experiences like Journey. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

    This game was great as a chill game after some more intense games I finished. I was surprised with which the amount i was drawn in. It plays smooth and just feels good. Low stress. Low key.

    This game is bloody awful. The physics make no sense. You can climb really high steps but can't walk two steps in the right direction. Feet tend to float in the middle of nowhere. It's basically broken and frustrating to play.

Con un control y unas mecánicas muy sencillas, consiste en explorar el mar y los múltiples edificios y atalayas para dar con los elementos necesarios para progresar en el juego. Además, la mecánica principal junto con la exploración y navegación es la escalada y el plataformeo, aunque son de carácter semiautomático, a lo Assassin's Creed. Algún pequeño puzle y una historia muy sencilla terminan de redondear un juego que, si bien no destila mucha ambición ni complejidad, consigue entretener con su propuesta y asombrar con su precioso diseño de escenarios y gran música.

    Ideal para seguidores de Flower, Journey y a quienes disfrutan del plataformeo de Uncharted y los últimos Tomb Raider.    … Expand

    Not a GOTY candidate for sure, but I appreciated this game. Basically, it consists of exploration and resolving (little) puzzles. There is no combat and no way to die. The world is beautiful. Really enjoyed it !

    This is a lovely little piece of art, I quickly grew tired of the gameplay however. A nice little experience if you have pro.

    I love this game as a break from the real world, where I can take my character through the ruins of a world and "capture" exotic sea creatures, all while trying to solve the riddle of what happened.

When I completed the story, I immediately wanted to hop back into the boat and sail to distant horizons. The developers, and Stadia, must be commended for bringing such a fantastic game to the platform.… Expand

    This 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.

    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

    So glad I played this game. Exploring and unfolding the story kept me hooked throughout the sort campaign. I left some collectibles but plan to return some day for them too.

    Paisaje muy bonito donde puedes encontrar muchos tesoros. Juego relajado y entretenido especialmente para los peques de la casa. Quizá se atasquen en algún puzle pero en general son fáciles.

    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.

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