Abstract: It's been about half a decade since I last gave any thought to Submerged. I played it — and apparently loved it — back when it first came out on Xbox, but I'd be lying if I said I remembered it in much detail. Before playing it again on the Switch on its...

Submerged just ends up being a disappointment. Great ideas in the storytelling and presentation are lost with a poor connection to characters and truly lacking gameplay. All the great intentions in the world don't mean anything if they don't convey into a...
Abstract: Trapped in an ancient, half-submerged city and desperate for supplies, you must explore the flooded streets in your simple fishing boat, and scale the ruined buildings that hold the promise of salvation.Submerged is an exploration adventure, where you str...

Beautiful world, Intriguing and enchanting, Heartfelt story, Beautiful score
Little direction at the start
Granted, it's not a combat heavy title, and if you're an average gun happy player, you may quite literally feel disarmed. However, Submerged is definitely a gem of a game; one that you really shouldn't allow to remain hidden from your view for very long.T...

Sometimes beautiful, Interesting world, Original storytelling
Limited scope, Uneven art
Submerged attempts to replace tension with curiosity as a motivating force, and largely succeeds even though its environmental storytelling isn't as dense as it could've been. It's an unchallenging, occasionally beautiful experience that caters to our ins...
