Diluvion: Resubmerged

The gameplay and the music are perfectly enjoyable, but GoG should not allow games on their platform that are in this kind of state. Stores glitch out and give you infinite money, only for the game to delete random parts of (or your entire) inventory randomly, often without you noticing until you have already saved over your file. Sometimes the game will seem to glitch back in time, deleting your stuff inside of saves you made ages ago. After trying five times to reach the game's second area without having my inventory deleted, I finally gave up.

Pros: looks nice. Music is nice. Ideas are nice. Neutral: Dialogue is ... well, there. Apart from giving you information you probably don't need the characters. It would possibly have been better to have ignored this and turned them into faceless grunts who just do things and can be upgraded. Cons: Too much reliance on air - you have to hop from air provider to air provider; too much reliance on food: it steals your money while you search endlessly for materials all the while while trying to navigate up, down, left, right, fast, slow in an environment where you haven't a clue where you are. Enemies: a much harder enemy will appear from nowhere and kill you or be impossible to take down so you have to spend a lot of time/effort avoiding them. Combat is an interesting learning curve (they can hit you, you can't hit them). Camera: all too often you find yourself looking at the backside or side or ... a dark object of something when turning or being stuck somehow behind an object. When you descend/ascend you see lovely bubbles which cloud your screen so you can't see anything and some areas are very tight. When you want to look for something there are fish/something else in the way. My account says I've spent 8 minutes on the game. Presumably the other 4 hours didn't count because I had to reload to a checkpoint (ugh) or because the game crashes when you try to come out of it or because it freezes when you try to open the not at all helpful map or ... There are lots of flaws in the design of this but it could be good with a few tweaks - quite a lot of tweaks actually. Some things like the 'characters' you can just suck up and see and some things (the 2D element, for example) are unimpressive but it does feel as though the 3D game part has a lot of potential. I'd like to see that realised.

The game sure has some neat aesthetics, but a lot of issues with Quality of Life and UI; this makes navigation through the menus and the gameplay unpleasant and sometimes hazardous.

Too many bugs for this game to be fun.

The game is really cool and promising. But because the inventory of your ship is reset after saving the game is unplayable. I wish this was not the case but it is what it is.
