Though the world you explore is 3D and is peppered with breath-taking sceneries and interesting creatures scurrying about the ocean, once you peer inside a ship, or dock onto a settlement, it switches to a beautiful, hand-drawn 2D environment.

An interesting setting let down by frustrating checkpoints and rough UI.

An excellent overall experience in storytelling through atmospheric art and minor characters marred by the awful interface and control system. The majesty of discovering an amazing new landmark is marred by having to replay that section since you have no control over your ability to save the game.

Diluvion is a true beauty to look at and there are some moments that will make you sit back and just enjoy the view. To dive (pun intended) deeper into the guts of the game, however, shows a very flawed experience that can hopefully be fixed as the game continues to evolve post release.

Diluvion tries to bring open-world exploration below sea level--but drowns in the process.
