Mar 7, 2021Sea of Solitude: Director's Cut will be an indie game I'll remember for years to come, just like Celeste and What Remains of Edith Finch. Its powerful storytelling, excellent performances, and stunning world will eventually invite me back to play it once again.

Mar 22, 2021Sea of Solitude does an incredible and masterful job of expressing what it means to suffer from depression, so much so that should you be interested in jumping in and have your own mental health issues I would suggest playing only in short bursts and when you are feeling quite strong. Many of these segments are far too relatable and quite vivid in their depictions of mental distress. The changes made to the Director’s Cut offers subtle enhancements to the game with new voice work that makes it hit home a little harder for American audiences and a photo mode that – while enticing – feels more likely to break the immersion. This is every bit as powerful as it was in 2019, and if you are looking for an emotional story to be fully enveloped in, I can’t imagine something being more passionately and beautifully put together than this game.

Mar 11, 2021Despite the lack of subtlety, Sea of Solitude is largely successful in bringing its positive affirmative message to a colorful world. The events that play out are often powerfully voice acted and complemented with incredible art. It wears its influences on its sleeve and is profoundly direct with its, but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Even though the gameplay is flawed with clumsy and inaccurate platforming, it’s not enough to capsize a strong overall presentation.

Mar 9, 2021Technically very clean Switch port of this equally atmospheric as well as beautiful adventure – now with photo mode and gyro controls.

Mar 5, 2021Sea of Solitude: The Director's Cut is a very personal and beautiful narrative adventure that deals with some topics in an interesting way. Although it may not connect with everyone, it will surely appeal to players looking for a different proposal.

Mar 4, 2021Sea of Solitude lands on Nintendo Switch with a superb port that makes little changes on the screenplay and dubbing and adds new options, making it the "definitive version" of a personal view to real world problems that videogames doesn't show often. If you love videogames with a message, don't sleep about this one.

Mar 7, 2021Sea of Solitude The Director's Cut is a new game, yet it is still itself. It's not much better or worse, it's just a different way of saying the same thing.

Mar 27, 2021There'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.
