Old style

Technical points first: graphics hold very well, art style is competent, voice acting more hit or miss. Overall atmospheric with good production values. The gameplay is what makes or breaks it, it's old style and not easy to reference. This is an action game, similar to a FPS in that most of the game is pointing, firing, choosing weapons as needed. It is also like a flight simulator in that you are flying a ship (underwater) and the control scheme flows from that genre. If you have a certain age you know games like Wing Commander, and this is similar: narrative driven linear missions. I found enemies, weapons and missions sufficiently varied. Escort missions can frustrate, but a couple replays and figuring the choreography sufficed to progress. The story has elements of cliche, but unusual setting helps.
