    I was so excited about this game after hearing a talk from the game designer. But the disappointment was big. When the part with the bullying starts and the dialogue gets interesting, that's when you get annoyed by annoying enemies who destroy the whole moment and where you can't even concentrate on the dialogues to get the content.

This is such bad design, it almost wasn't worth the effort to tell a story in the game. A lot of effort was put into mediocre jump and run and annoying enemies.… Expand

    Even tough the story is a bit unevenly told; we cannot stop playing Sea of Solitude until Kay has reached the end of her journey. Partly because the story always manages to motivate us to go further, partly because the adventure is not long enough for the shortcomings to become too intrusive. When it is all said and done, Sea of ​​Solitude is a gripping but uneven journey that is worth taking.

    A brave, harrowing exploration of a troubled psyche which proves very powerful indeed. [Issue#180, p.83]

    Sea of Solitude certainly has a unique look and feel to it, but the novelty alone is not enough to carry the game. Your enjoyment of it will come down to how much you connect to Kay and her story because the gameplay alone will not be enough to compel you to play until the end. Even if you're just in it for the story, there are times when that story will also feel like a slog, especially when you face the monsters that represent Kay's endlessly bickering parents. The game is certainly an unusual experience, but it will probably leave you wishing that it was a more compelling one.
