Apr 24, 2017Lovely to look at but spoilt entirely by horrible controls and unnecessarily awkward combat sections. A real missed opportunity as the exploration, voiceover and vibe of the game are all very well done but it's just not any fun :(

Official Xbox Magazine UKAug 13, 2016Amiable adventure game that gets more annoying as it drags towards its lacklustre end. [Sept 2016, p.79]

Aug 5, 2016Song of the Deep is a good game you should play for its emotional story which is more complex than it initially seems. The mechanics are interesting and the fact that we don’t usually get many underwater adventures adds to its appeal. While there are problems—like the visual artifacts and storytelling decisions mentioned earlier—the story and gameplay make up for them.

Jul 20, 2016Shaky conclusion aside, Song of the Deep is a narrative rich adventure that successfully pairs Metroidvania gameplay with a dynamic underwater setting.
