There isn't much to this game. It's an exploration game where you just explore the environment, do some basic climbing which is limited to just pushing a direction button and sometimes pressing x to jump. That's it. There isn't much to the plot at all and what there is, is predictable, meaning there are much better plot based exploration games out there like Azbu, Rime or Toren. There's about 4-6 hours of content at best and some of the trophies can brake due to a glitches. The graphics are terrible. It's a mix of PS3 looking assets and higher res assets that likely came from an asset store. Movement animations are janky and there's a lot of clipping issues. The only reason I'm giving this a 6 is because it's often on sale for about £2.99 which is just about a fair price for it. I don not recommend anyone pays the full asking price for this game as they'll likely be disappointed. It's an ok game to play as a spacer between two other more demanding games.

If you can get this game on sale it's not bad. The game is very short, but it contains some puzzles, and exploring. It's not the prettiest pennies out there, but it can be enjoyable to play. If you can snatch it up cheap, it is not bad.

This game literally was on sale and the trailer looked pretty good and enticing. I do like the ambiance in the background and interaction between wildlife. But being confused on what to do for like all of 15 minutes into the game besides... you must find "x" and "y" with no direction. Didn't take long to get used to the controls, but once you climb the construction crane you get a better picture of what you are supposed to do in this game and maybe realize the mysterious past of what this city used to be. Gave this game a 5 mainly because the game got kind of boring after the third crate in until you see the mysterious creatures and your interested a little more but then you realize you're still doing the same thing over and over. Beat it in an hour. Not bad. Just not really "fun"

With an interesting premise, Submerged delivers a beautiful post apocalyptic world with a subtle but intriguing story. But its repetitive minute to minute gameplay makes it hard to go through it. Not that I don't like simple, artistic, story focused games, but the constant loop of climbing a building, opening a package and watching a short cutscene (with the same music every time) gets tedious over time. I don't say I wouldn't recommend it but if you want to try it, go with measured expectations.

I was skecptical at first. No foes, no combat, no way to die? Turns out it was exactly what I needed. Very relaxing game. I enjoyed exploring everywhere while continuing with the story. Picked it up at a slight discount and definitely got my money's worth.

Very pretty world and a relaxing change to the usual fast paced games wont be for everyone but if you are looking to wind down after a tough day this could be for you.

the game is ok but it was not worth the $15-$20. Graphics were that of the ps3 games when they first started out. it looked like and ps4 version of gravity rush. Sound was to bad but there was a thump when she walked around, started to get annoying. Gamplay was like an old ps1 game search and find. not much fun and the story was simple but the main thing i never understood, why the **** is this gear help her brother out, cause he was sevrely injured, backwards. by that I mean she put bandages on the wound then she wants to stiich it and after that then she wants to clean it. why is it she knows all this medical knowledge and physical strength to scale these giant structures but does actually does it backwards. I know she a kid but even kids know to at least clean an injury first she did that like close to the end. its worth a look at but wait till its either free or goes more down in price

This game is a real gem. My kids found this on PSN and convinced me to download it. After watching my daughter sail around the overgrown urban decay I started playing it myself. Submerged is truly beautiful. Visually of course, but I am finding the combination of the music and the way the story is delivered is really touching. I have grown a bit tired of brown hued wastelands. Don't get me wrong, I have been a fan of the Fallout series since the beginning and I find post-apocalyptic worlds really compelling. But Submerged's lush green world, full of life, offers a refreshing alternative. I am finding this to be an intriguing experience so far with mystery, and maybe menace, lying behind what seems like tranquility. This game now sits along side Journey as an example for my non-gaming friends of what games can strive for.

Submerged is like you feel while you play with charming graphics and perfect sounds, BUT you feel the programing is not finished, at least the price is not equal to the programing labour, so basic movement commands in a free-puzzles platform game. It's a pity (not to me) because with a few models more in the map and some puzzle to reach the crates more than a simplicity logic.

The basic idea of Submerged is great, especially the combat-free part, but the execution leaves a lot to be desired. For starters, it's a $10 game that costs $20. After the first ten minutes of play, you've done and seen the vast majority of everything the game will ever show you or have you do. I don't just mean the wall climbing and boat steering (the game's two main/only activities), I mean everything. Every model. Every texture. Every corroded sea creature. It's just so little actual content. There is one kind of wall to climb. There is one kind of flowered vine to climb. The ledge, the game's real star, comes in two varieties - kind of worn and very worn. Everything is the same colour. Every half submerged building looks like every other half submerged building. None of the animals are very inspired or imaginative, though there are eight total. Or maybe I'm the weirdo, for not getting more excited about seeing a virtual pelican. You know what, I take it back, this isn't a $10 game masquerading as a $20 game, it's an $8 game, masquerading as a $20 game. And not a particularly good one. If you do find yourself curious, despite the many available warnings, I would strongly suggest you wait for Submerged to be half the price it should have launched at in the first place, which would be $4.

Submerged I’d rather submerge myself before playing this game again Submerged is a non-combative exploration game as you can see here, this game looks pretty dated. You start the game out in a submerged city with your little brother The objective to the game is to heal his wound You do this by going out into the city to find supplies on top of various buildings and you get to the top by climbing prince of Persia style, minus the fancy flips and jumps And that’s it This is the game. When you find supplies you are rewarded with a chunk of the origins story, of why what happened happened to get you to the point in the story you begin with Its up to you to decipher and this mystery story is actually pretty dark also along your journey you’ll find boat upgrades that increase the amount of time you can use a speed boost, you’ll find a handful of creatures and you’ll find the cities secrets which much like main story is finding these cave like paintings of the cities story. So there’s 2 stories here, but oddly enough the stories seem pretty parallel and neither of the 2 are worth the effort to learn about I went into this game excited and left disappointed and cheated of my time There is no fun, no pay off. The ambient music is good, but really that’s it for what it is Adventure game: 6/10 Overall 5.5/10
