OpenCritic

Metro GameCentral: 7 / 10 by Nick Gillett

A story about loneliness and grief, set in a retro-futuristic 1970s and told from the perspective of a deepsea diver, which is less interested in action than creating the right atmosphere.

Screen Rant: 3.5 / 5 by Rob Gordon

Under The Waves is a powerful story with wonderful atmosphere, but a lack of polish holds it back from achieving its true potential.

VGChartz: 6 / 10 by Lee Mehr

Parallel Studio's latest avoids drowning from formulaic story & design critiques, but whether the plunge is still worth it greatly depends on your Pacific taste.
