I don't know what to say about this game.. it's just.. mid, painfully mid.
It's got its fun moments but the gameplay is a little above average, the story is fairly generic, the voice acting is really mid. The graphics and Visuals were amazing tho, really well done but other than that, the ending was just, weird, really weird so, yeah, this game in one word is mid.

This game confuses me. The general consensus seems to be that the water physics are amazing, but everything else is really really bad. And while it wouldn't say that it was amazing by any means, I didn't think there was anything particularly wrong with it. It's a fine whatever game with good water physics. It's also really short so it doesn't grate on your patience.
The combat is moderately fun, using the environment to kill enemies with exploding barrels, electricity, or by drowning them. The water physics are great, which is pretty much what this game is remembered for. The story isn't too impressive and considering this is only the first chapter and the next one was cancelled, the game ends quite abruptly. The Xbox 360 version also ends earlier than the PS3 and PC versions as those actually have an ending boss fight, whereas the 360 version doesn't, ending randomly after a cutscene instead.
Imagine an action setpiece from Uncharted extended for 3-5 hours.
The sort of game that's very blatantly a "look at our physics engine" game. Not very good but it is interesting. I think the water physics are genuinely nice, it is funny blasting a barrel then watching water knock an enemy around, but everything else in the game feels undercooked. The cover system particularly sucks. The story just stops too since it was meant to be episodic but flopped and took the studio with it. Unfortunate nothing became of this game's engine, it could've been nice.
Also: HYDROPHOBIA IS BEING PHYSICALLY INCAPABLE OF SWALLOWING LIQUIDS, AQUAPHOBIA IS FEAR OF BODIES OF WATER
