The AAA version of a flash game, in the best way. Environment and audio design makes it feel like the ancestor of games like Ori, but in some ways still has more passion. You could even buy it for the soundtrack alone and it's still a good deal

This was one of the first games I remember spending time with my dad playing. It was fun, simple, and had a feeling to it I had never experienced with games before. I remember wanting to find every recipe, and to explore the whole map. It was my first experience with a metroidvania, and it's one that many years later I think back to fondly. It has its quirks, but to me it's a work of art that has shaped the way I look at games. The first encounter with the surface, the Veil, is a very evocative moment. Amongst the games of today, it feels like looking back on the animation of 90s 3d animated movies. Still, I've never forgotten this game. Please play it, and tell me what you think. If I were ever able to capture this feeling in a game again, I'd play it in a heartbeat.

We have here an amazing game. Aquaria is almost 20 years old and until now is a great and beautiful game. If you like metroidvania, that one is a must play! There are so many different areas, secrets and sea life! The sound track... Ah the sound track! I could listen it all day! A had play this game when it was release and in 2019 again. The game just sounds better!

Still one of the best aquatic game to date created by 2 very talented guy (one of them being the creator of Spelunky) I recall back in the old days the dev released the mod version for free, not sure if we can still find that nowadays. Grabbing this on steam just for nostalgic collection. The BGM is still one of my favorite, I still have the CD bought directly from the creator, may your soul rest in peace Alec.

This game is amazing, its like Castlevania but underwater. It deserves more recognition. Just a tip, this game does not have Steam Cloud, so backup your save manually before unistall (the save file is inside the game folder).
