Critic Reviews for Diluvion
An interesting setting let down by frustrating checkpoints and rough UI.
Diluvion tries to bring open-world exploration below sea level--but drowns in the process.
Good ideas but not the best way of making them true.

Diluvion brings submarine post-apocaliptic exploration based on the Jules Verne novel, but fails on multiple aspects when the game is running. Very good ideas but not a great performance.

We don't have enough undersea titles, and much of the game was a delightful, and sometimes even breathtaking experience. Yet, the parts that weren't were an exercise in futility and frustration – I can't remember the last time I had to go to a game's forum to get a bug resolved just so I could advance. It's a lesson in wonderful concept and poor execution. If you were looking for the next Subnautica or Sunless Sea, this isn't quite there.
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.
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.
