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.
Le jeu regorge de très bonnes idées, mais celles-ci sont malheureusement mal exploitées. Proposer un metroidvania dans un univers sous-marin était pourtant une base prometteuse. Hélas, la direction artistique se révèle fade et peu inspirée. Du point de vue du gameplay, je m’attendais à un mélange entre metroidvania et shmup, deux styles que j’affectionne particulièrement. Il faudra finalement se contenter d’un jeu davantage orienté aventure et énigmes, comme le résume très bien la fiche. Les phases de tir sont anecdotiques : il y a peu de projectiles à éviter et surtout aucun véritable défi, la difficulté étant quasi inexistante. À cela s’ajoutent de nombreux bugs de physique : j’ai perdu le compte du nombre de fois où je me suis retrouvé coincé dans un mur. Les objectifs à suivre sont obscurs, heureusement qu’une grosse croix sur la carte indique la direction à prendre. Le jeu propose plusieurs énigmes plutôt agréables et enchaîne correctement ses différentes phases de gameplay. Les trois combats de boss ont le mérite d’exister et de casser un peu le rythme, mais rien de mémorable non plus. Il cumule également les défauts du metroidvania, poussés ici à l’excès : un backtracking omniprésent, conséquence directe d’un monde inutilement fouilli et mal structuré. Malgré tout, le jeu reste agréable à parcourir et procure un certain plaisir. Il manque cependant cruellement de finition. Il tente de surfer sur la vague d’Ori, mais l’exercice s’avère vain. C’est dommage : le jeu avait clairement les cartes en main.

Game breaking bugs.
One of few games I have enjoyed doing a replay of. Story and narration are a bit corny. Controls could be tighter. There is more backtracking than I would like. Physics a little janky at times (I'm looking at you pufferfish) But it's got a good balance of cute, pretty, and spooky vibes, I liked getting the hang of the submarines weight and handling, it has some cool level design, and it doesn't outstay it's welcome. Also it works fine on Linux, didn't have to try different version of Proton or anything.
Cute game that will keep you entertained for a day or 2. If you like Aquaria you'll like this one even though there's more fighting, but also more puzzles. Graphics and music are great, controls are interesting, game difficulty gets easy if you collect a lot of stuff, the progression feels like you're getting more powerful, which is good. Very nice!
It has beautiful visuals, music, and a great atmosphere. While the map is quite diverse, the puzzles are pretty creative, and the combat is pretty fun, the game is held back by its repetitive nature and a buttload of bugs. Overall, it's a fun game and very easy to 100%.
really fun metroidvania, great story, wonderful world
A fun Metroidvania with interesting mechanics and a unusual control scheme. Piloting the sub is fun and interesting, and occasionally frustrating as its mobility isn't always ideal for the problem at hand. However, that makes the game more unique and interesting.
Fun game, the story is pretty good.
