Critic Reviews
Song of the Deep review
An undersea adventure that is more about seeing the sights than captivating gameplay.
50%Song of the Deep Review - Rather Shallow
Song of the Deep's story is touching, its art is beautiful, and its soundtrack is lovely, all of which come together to make a visual treat. Then I had to actually play it and I found it frustrating at some times, boring at others, and quite glitchy. Some may be able to forgive it, but I can't see many doing so.
55%Puzzles and pufferfish: Song of the Deep review
Enchanting and charming, Song of the Deep is a children’s-fairy-tale-turned-video-game that’s full of wonder and vibrant beauty. The gameplay is both solid and enjoyable, but not without hiccups and hindrances.
