It’s a really neat experience… but not a fantastic game." The lulls in gameplay are not exceeded by the thrills of exploration, with the excitement outweighed by the slow, unrelenting crawl the player goes through to get there.
It’s just that there’s just too much time wasting in between. I understand that the developers wanted the player to take their own time, and I appreciate the effort made to encourage the player to explore. "If Diluvion’s gameplay was tighter, with less frustrating meandering and more direction, even the most vague of directions, it’d be a sure-fire diamond in the rough. It ties together RPG elements, resource management, combat, and the salty appeal of a marine environment in a brilliant blend of whimsical and exciting." Diluvion tugs at the soul of the land-bound adventurer that longs to experience the mysteries of the deep. Movement will be clumsy but graceful, and each vista carries either riches or treacherous death.
Diluvion review full#
"Although it isn’t an exploration game per se Diluvion remains full of wonders, as long as you remember nothing is instantaneous underwater. It’s an experience you should endeavor to try, as the rewards can be so worth it if you achieve everything necessary." From team management to all-out, guns-blazing combat and scrap salvaging, there’s a lot to do while in search of the Endless Corridor. Even if you don’t manage to see it all - and there’s a good chance of that happening, given the size of the world you’re traveling in - you’ll still find plenty of ways to get involved in the engrossing search. "For a game with a run time of approximately ten short hours, Diluvion is scarily full of content.
Diluvion review Patch#
That said the issues it has could easily be addressed in a patch or two and they don’t keep Diluvion from still being a solid gaming experience." For all the amazing style it oozes it just lacks that little bit of final polish it needs to be great. "Diluvion is still a good little game that does so much right, but just feels like it needed a little more time in the oven to cook. Although some aspects of the game are quite difficult, I found the game to be very enjoyable if you take your time."
"Overall, Diluvion is both a chill yet challenging game that came as a surprise to me. "Even with the negatives, Diluvion is a great game, and one I’d recommend to anyone fans of the survival genre. Every new session starts out as fun, as you begin to seamlessly set out looking for new landmarks, cities and treasure in some impressive seafaring gameplay where it just feels like fun simply to sail around and look at everything, but after a while frustration kicks in as the game’s habit of limiting more helpful elements to the player begins to hinder the experience as you wander about, eating up resources" "Diluvion and me seem have a bit of a love/hate relationship.
"Described as "Dark Souls underwater," this tactical action game is a brief, but fun little journey." To dive (pun intended) deeper into the guts of the game, however, shows a very flawed experience that can hopefully be fixed as the game continues to evolve post release." "Diluvion is a true beauty to look at and there are some moments that will make you sit back and just enjoy the view.
"Diluvion has an interesting art style but the repetitive gameplay, along with sometimes irritating navigation, checkpoints and controls, may put some players off." And thanks to the random placement of things you discover outside of scripted story events, repeated journeys will never be quite the same." While its combat is sometimes too difficult for its own good, its ambiance and impeccable sense of style overcomes the frustrations of having to retry encounters. "Overall, Diluvion is an absurdly ambitious game that’s a joy to dive into and simply explore. "Diluvion’s submerged world may be interesting, and its gameplay might be fun – but it’s not quite as often or for as long as it should be." "An interesting setting let down by frustrating checkpoints and rough UI."
