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.… Expand

Picked it up at a slight discount and definitely got my money's worth.… Expand

   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… Expand

   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 $10The 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.… Expand

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.… Expand
