Song of the Deep is a charming adventure/action/Metroidvania game for all ages. It features an oceanic and mythological theme, with sea creatures of Celtic folklore, and some sci-fi ones. You play as a young girl named Merryn, who is on a quest to search for her missing father, although I will not spoil anything about the story here.

Song of the Deep, in my opinion, is a beautiful game. Its soundtrack and beautiful environments were breathtaking, for me, and I feel that this game was a labor of love for the makers. It captures the unknown of the ocean very well; capturing its beauty and its fearsomeness. The gameplay is fun, and the game's map is huge and expansive, with so much variation in its environments. Although certain puzzles can be tricky, in my experience, this game was an absolute pleasure to play, The game also has so many treasures and items that you can collect, which I enjoyed

Song of the Deep is truly a very lovely game, and it's a game that I would recommend to those who love a wholesome story and those who love oceanic themes. The artistry of this game and the gameplay alike are both quite a pleasure. If you enjoy the game's story, Brian Hastings published a book about Song of the Deep as well, and I would highly recommend reading it too. It's really sweet, and I think people of all ages can enjoy it. It's made for kids, but that doesn't bother me at all since I prefer light-hearted stories. ^^
