    A heartfelt confession, but an otherwise boring experience, Sea of Solitude fails both as a game, as well as an exploration of mental health. At times too symbolic and abstract to decode, and at other times very straightforward with its message, most will find it hard to feel the struggles of its cute, feathery protagonist and connect with her. This is basically like reading the diary of a high school kid. What is said within its pages is true and all, but that doesn't make it a good read. Even worse? The simplistic platforming/exploring/puzzle-solving that needs to be done here can even put an elephant to sleep.

    There's a brand-new script, a new cast of voice actors, tweaked gameplay, and altered cutscenes...These are the kinds of changes you might see in a "remaster" 10 years later, not a port.

It deals with some pretty heavy stuff, particularly the first segment of the game was definitely a pretty emotional heavy segment to play through, but with all the dark and depressing tones it carries through to a really beautiful and satisfying ending for me. On the technical side, there were some bugs here and there but nothing that every broke the immersion for my play through. For all the so-so to negative reviews this game got I never expected it to be so good. I'm really glad I tried this and I think it provides a good perspective to keep in mind when dealing with any type of mental illness.… Full Review »
