Pretty cool underwater side-scroller
SAMUDRA is a side-scrolling adventure game, made by Indonesian developers. It's title which means "ocean" in their native language, is the setting of this game. You play as a little boy in a diving helmet as he explores a heavily polluted ocean floor. Mainly, the game is puzzle, you solve simple ones to progress. There are also stealth and chase sections where you run and hide from enemies. It's not very hard, although some puzzles and chase scenes can be a bit difficult. I love the 2D artstyle as well as the important message this game seems to tell, how we produce so much waste that it pollutes our oceans, and can cause major disasters in the future such as extinction of marine animals or the flooding/sinking of cities. But I'm not really a fan of how some areas are so easily missable, like you can accidentally travel to the correct area and cannot backtrack to save a pufferfish in an optional puzzle. Some areas should be able to be revisited. I think this game is comparable to titles such as Limbo and Little Nightmares, due to being adventure games with environmental puzzles and chasing enemies. If you like those titles SAMUDRA is definitely a game you should try.
