Critic Reviews for In Other Waters
Hypnotic art, otherworldly audio and captivating writing meet in an undersea exploration game that wants you to take your time.
A gentle and engrossing underwater sci-fi game that will have you thinking about more than what lies beneath the waves.
In Other Waters succeeds more as an exercise in world building than as an exciting adventure game
In Other Waters tells a tense, absorbing mystery through exquisitely minimalist means.
Admittedly this is a game that requires players, from the word go, to get onboard with the idea that pace isn't paramount and that its complicated controls also serve the greater aesthetic on show.
A very pleasant surprise indeed, In Other Waters is a bit of a minimalist masterpiece that you'll often want to dip into for a more contemplative experience than the majority of the Switch's library. It has found a perfect home on the handheld, the form factor of which massively works in the favour of the game's mood and atmosphere to create an exceptional and unique experience. What you're getting here is a story that you're an integral part of, and it's one of the coolest, cleverest games we've played in a long time. An absolutely first-class effort.
In Other Waters is a unique, dreamy experience that rewards your patience and time. It features one of the most elegant and thoughtful UIs in a game, and a clever, precise text to build a world worth exploring.
Minimalist adventuring that's original, clever, and soothing – and a perfect example that gameplay and atmosphere is always more important than high-tech graphics.
