From the creators of Ratchet & Clank, Song of the Deep is a metroidvania-style action-adventure game following a young girl’s quest into the unknown to find her missing father. It combines underwater discovery, skill, and suspense with a powerful story.
The game focuses on combining discovery, skill, and suspense as players navigate the vast ocean landscape. You control a submarine that you can upgrade with various abilities and gadgets, such as claw arms and torpedoes, to access new areas and interact with the environment.
You can use your submarine to explore the expansive and diverse ocean environments. The submarine's upgrades, like speed boosts and sonar, allow you to access previously inaccessible locations. You can also directly control the protagonist, Merryn, who can swim freely in certain areas, granting additional mobility and access to hard-to-reach locations. This combination of submarine and freeswimming exploration allows for a layered and multifaceted approach to traversal and discovery.
Progression is heavily tied to solving environmental puzzles and challenges. These puzzles often involve using the submarine's abilities in creative ways, such as using the claw arm to manipulate objects or the sonar to uncover hidden passages. As you explore the underwater world, you'll discover a wealth of treasures and upgrades for your submarine, which are essential for unlocking further areas and overcoming more challenging obstacles.
While the focus is primarily on exploration and puzzle-solving, there are still combat encounters that you must navigate. The underwater setting introduces unique challenges, as you must maneuver your submarine to effectively engage enemies. The game also presents other environmental challenges, such as treacherous currents and timed obstacles, that test your mastery of the submarine's controls and movement.
The gameplay is seamlessly integrated with the game's narrative. The protagonist's quest to find her missing father serves as the driving force behind the exploration and progression, with your actions and discoveries directly impacting the story. The unique underwater setting and the use of Celtic folklore elements further enhance the narrative experience.
