excellent game
The game has beautiful music and art, and a sprawling, open world that gives you total freedom to explore it. It can seem derivative of things like Ecco, but it's much more its own thing than it first appears. It's also much darker, and more difficult, than you might expect. Things get pretty weird toward the end, down below the Abyss...

Le jeu est probablement bien...
Dès le début du jeu, je me suis heurté à un problème d'accessibilité : les couleurs. En tant que daltonien, il n'y a pas plus irritant qu'une mécanique de gameplay qui repose sur des couleurs sans prendre en compte les gens qui peuvent avoir des problèmes pour les distinguer (en les associant à des motifs ou formes particuliers). D'autres jeux, même des jeux indés, font l'effort de proposer un mode daltonien, alors pourquoi pas celui-là ? La qualité du jeu n'était déjà pas très engageante a priori, alors ce problème m'a définitivement convaincu de ne pas continuer de jouer à ce jeu. Dommage.

Metroid-vania With A Mermaid (Sorta)
This game is gorgeous, with an unforgettable soundtrack and beautiful visuals representing Naija's undersea world. She may not look not look like a mermaid, but Naija has all the characteristics of one. These were what convinced me to try this, even though I'm not into these types of games.

Beautiful but flawed early Derek Yu game
Released in 2007, and the winner of the grand prize at 2008's IGF festival, Aquaria was part of an early wave of imaginative, high quality indie games - a movement that would really kick off with smash hits such as Braid, Fez and Derek Yu's own Spelunky a few years later. You control a Naija, a mermaidy water spirit, who has to navigate an underwater world and can morph into various different forms to unlock new abilities that bestow different skills and access to new game areas. The main innovations are the controls - primary control is with the mouse, guiding Naija around. The song system brings up a radial menu of different notes that can be sung to transition to different forms or use abilities. The fact that you can use hotkeys to access these abilities, or use a controller instead undermine these innovations, and hint at the fact that although initially the mouse controls feel very natural and intuitive, by the time you get to the more challenging parts of the game they're a bit of a chore. The game still looks gorgeous, all the art was hand-drawn by Derek Yu. There are lots of beautiful underwater vistas to explore, including tropical lagoons, sunken dungeons and a kelp forest. The locations do start to feel a bit samey, and although there are plenty of secrets to discover you'll do plenty of backtracking and may find these areas become monotonous. You save your points at red crystals dotted around the world, and can use sea turtles to travel between main locations - although these aren't frequent or well-placed enough to ever feel that useful. Of the different forms, only 1 of the main ones has an attack, which means that most of the time you'll only use the other forms for a single ability, which is a shame. It's a beautiful game, and can enchant but can also frustrate, which is maybe why it's not endured as some other high profile indie released of the period have.
