Our take on Song of the Deep
Players who need a clearly linear route may bounce off when the game opens its non-linear underwater map. Completion-focused players may also hit a slower stretch when searching for more than 200 treasures and revisiting areas with newly acquired submarine abilities.
What is Song of the Deep?
Song of the Deep is an underwater action-adventure game with a non-linear world to explore.
Players guide Merryn in a submarine built from spare parts as she searches for her missing father. The journey includes more than 200 treasures, 30 submarine upgrades, and over 15 abilities that open routes into new areas. Abilities can be combined during encounters, including using a claw mechanism to catch torpedoes.
