Reviews

Under the Waves is an emotional adventure that handles distressing subject matter in a touching way. There are some issues with the execution, but the overall experience is a memorable one.

It flounders in its messaging here and there, and the game’s impressive open world is definitely in need of a few optimization patches, but you have to admire the ambition of Parallel’s efforts here, going for the high dive, and just about nailing the landing with only a few spots of splashback to diminish the impact.
