Title
really thought this one would be more tolerable, its basically just a tech demo. its super short and took me barely 2 hours to complete. the game is so barebones its not even funny. you literally just walk around in some ship complex, do a few water puzzles (break wall to increase water) do some half assed tomb raider esque climbing mechanics, and have some really poor gunfights with literally 1 pistol. the underwater combat sections are fucking awful and knocked the score down an entire point.

4/10

Title
Pfffffftttt. Inventive water physics and a decent premise aside, this game is a wash, pun absolutely intended. Shooting is sloppy, repetitive, and has an over-reliance on ingenuity that goes nowhere. The wraparound design of the ship cannot hide an absolute adherence to linearity to a fault, as bad platforming, swimming and puzzle sections go in between shooting bits that are just there. All this leads to an absolute embarrassment of an ending. What were they thinking?

Title
Drowned.
A shitty Tomb Raider clone, there is not other way around it. Its extremely short, controls really poorly, has awkward climbing sections and puzzles. And the shooting is really bad as well, not to mention the boring story and bad voice acting. Overal a failure.

Its only saving grace is that its water physics are actually somewhat impressive by 2011 standards. Its definitly not a reason strong enough to play this game.
