    [​IMG]Diluvion will be released tomorrow - here are two reviews:

    PC Gamer:

    There is a lot to Diluvion-you've got nine different kinds of submarine to collect and upgrade. Once you've improved your vessel with hull armour plates, you can reach new depths and access areas that would previously destroy your submarine. You also get an upgradeable home base to house your submarines and standby crew members, so there's plenty of ways to extend the game's life. Diluvion's noticeable lack of polish just removes a little of the excitement of exploring the ocean's depths, though, as distinctive as the presentation of this backdrop is.

    Score: 72/100​

    CGM:

    There is an unfortunate feeling of cheapness to the presentation when it comes to tertiary elements. Many character models straight up repeat in the 2D conversational sections, and not in an endearing "all Team Rocket or Team Skull members look similar" sort of way. More like a copy and paste type deal. While those folks often speak of entertaining oddities like urine drinking competitions, the dullness of some of these locations in tandem with the lackluster and barebones options menu on PC (you have your basic resolution, FOV, sensitivity alterations, and key mapping, and that's it) isn't a winning combination. The screen is often too busy with dialogue, with no option to de-clutter the HUD, and checkpoints can be unforgiving and are unclear.

    If you can look past that dicey veneer, you'll find a lot to love in Diluvion. It could use a few patches to smooth out some rough edges, but if you like the idea of taking a sub down into the ocean and getting lost, get ready for a well-paced adventure.

    Score: 7.5/10​
