What players say
Players consistently describe this as brutally hard, often calling it one of the most difficult games they have ever tried. Many find the controls imprecise and the underwater mazes confusing, with a harsh air mechanic that demands frequent surfacing. A few note it is a historic piece worth seeing, but several warn it is more frustrating than fun.
