Submerged was a fun little diversion I picked up yesterday for $1.99 CAD on sale as I liked the game's art and the concept of the story sounded interesting to me. Overall it was a fun game which I played right through to completion and 100% achievements just for the heck of it as I wanted to see the whole story unfold, which is told in the form of pictographs you discover in game as secret items.

This is very much an exploration game with light puzzle solving in terms of how you go about climbing the buildings to find all of the secret items and the survival cache to progress the story. It was an enjoyable game, but does involve a lot of climbing which some have suggested can get a bit repetitive. My only complaint was once you find a survival cache on the top of a building, if you open it you are instantly taken to a cut scene and returned back to the central home base in the game, so if you didn't find all of the secret items on that building you have to go back to it and climb the building a second time. I'd recommend not activating the survival caches until you're absolutely sure you cleared the rest of a building unless you don't mind coming back later.

I do kind of wish the game had some under water exploration as well, but sadly it didn't. It was a short game but a nice relaxing filler game where you don't have to worry about dying or ammunition etc.

Rating 70/100
