For example, the majority of the opening area consists of watching a monster swim through the water until you feel secure that you can dive in and swim to the next spot before it catches and eats you. While I enjoyed exploring a bit for hidden seagulls to shoo away and messages in bottles to collect, most of the actual gameplay was fairly annoying. Every so often, you'll get some dialogue which is voiced and is the driving force for the narrative. As different as the various themes and stories are, the gameplay is mostly the same: you run or boat around while often following a glowing creature from one area to the next sometimes removing corruption from a spot with a button press and solving the occasional puzzle. Speaking of which, the campaign is broken into numerous chapters with several separate themes. The world manages to balance darkness with light as well as beauty with the ordinary very well but unfortunately, it doesn't balance its story with the gameplay quite as well for most of its campaign. This is particularly amazing considering how much of the world is shrouded in darkness.
SEA OF SOLITUDE PS4 REVIEW TV
Sea of Solitude is a beautiful game and everyone who walked by the TV while I was playing remarked on how gorgeous it is. Light in the darkness isn't just a metaphor here, it's literal and beautiful Luckily, there's an equally mysterious glowing creature helping you out and with its assistance, maybe you'll be able to survive this living nightmare after all. Not only that, she's somehow turned into a monster! Before she can try and figure things out, she meets 2 vicious monsters: one who uses insulting words and one who will devour you if you're not careful. You play as Kay, a woman who has been thrust into a dark world where nearly everything is submerged. Sea of Solitude is a game of exploring not only a submerged world but also the emotions of loneliness and depression. So, when Sea of Solitude was announced, I was all for it. Even titles like 2018's God of War manage to take moments that could otherwise be filler and turn them into dramatic, touching scenes between a father and son learning to bond.
SEA OF SOLITUDE PS4 REVIEW SERIES
For example, What Remains of Edith Finch is such an amazing game because it's a rollercoaster of emotions with loads of whimsy mixed in while others like Telltale Games' The Walking Dead series fill the space between tense, impossible choices with the entire gamut of possible emotions. I love a game that can draw emotion out of me. 😊 Just like real life, issues and struggles are often bigger than us │ Video Chums was once offered $4000 per month to display a persistent video ad.
Here we have a gamified exploration of depression, loneliness, and problems we all face that's light on gameplay and heavy on emotion. Sea of Solitude is also available for PS4
