A metroidvania by Insomniac, but you are a mini-submarine. It's a cool concept and I enjoyed scooting around the environment and trying to find my way forward. I eventually got stuck and couldn't figure out a way to proceed though.

Stuck in The Maw. Will try again in the next couple of days.

The game is pretty fun so far, but I feel like I'm missing a lot of the treasures and will need to return later. I know this is kinda the point of Metroidvanias, but it seems more....obvious that I'll need to backtrack later. It doesn't feel organic. We'll see how the rest of the game unfolds. If I have to just backtrack over the entire map when I have all the submarine upgrades, then I might knock a bit off the final score.

I feel like the visuals in this alone, filled with nice deep areas of Ocean, will cool me off during this 40C weather.
