Feb. 2025
I recently developed a passion for Metroidvania games, and Song of the Deep is one of those gems you must play if you are a fan of the genre as well. I can tell Insomniac made this game with so much love; it reflects on the story and the characters. Given that the game fully takes place underwater, you are treated to some amazing visuals, and the gameplay is smooth and engaging. My only problem with the game is the puzzles, as in some areas, they can get too complicated, slowing down progression and perhaps putting you in a spot where you'd have to rely on YouTube to solve them as I did. Overall, this is a beautiful game and I'd highly recommend it. And yes, for those wondering, the game works beautifully on the Steam Deck too.

This game has a very charming and feel good story. I will say its not the best in terms of gameplay but I would say that I did have fun. There were parts that are kinda boring but it was quickly overturned with another story piece tying the game together very nicely. This game has a special place in my heart.

One of my favorite games that I've ever played. It's beautifully drawn, has fun exploration and combat, excellent music, and has a great story. Most of the negative reviews are from people with thousands of hours in fps games, who's brains are so fried from constant stimulation they can't enjoy a story focused game. Another common complaint is that the controls suck, but that's just because the game takes place underwater. The controls look and feel great, and are consistent, if you have problems with them, its genuinely a skill issue. I played it first on my xbox one when it first came out, and it still holds up, almost nine years later.
