This is a beautiful and visually stunning game with imaginative and impressive settings from chapter to chapter. It is about the difficultThis is a beautiful and visually stunning game with imaginative and impressive settings from chapter to chapter. It is about the difficult relationships that a young girl has with kids at school, her parents, boyfriend and brother. She can't seem to find the right approach with any of them, which leads to depression and frustration. The object of the game is to help 'Kay' to better understand herself and others in order for her to regain her confidence and self esteem. Everyone in the game starts out as a 'monster', including Kay, and as the game progresses and Kay makes strides, all the characters regain their physical humanity and of course the last person who will do so is the star of the show.

Here and there there were unfortunately a few weaknesses in terms of gameplay and a few bugs, which is why I once had to restart the game from the checkpoint, but everything is only half as bad. On the whole, it tells an exciting story. Solid 7.

Sea of SolitudeDon’t play this on the PS5I loved Sea of Solitude, this is a game that touches on depression, anxiety, and loss… you playSea of SolitudeDon’t play this on the PS5I loved Sea of Solitude, this is a game that touches on depression, anxiety, and loss… you play as Kay, shes a monster, in a sea of monsters that all represent somebody from her real life..And first things first… don’t play this on the playstation 5, its completely unplayable, that isn’t an exaggeration, this broken, 0/10 there… so I had to dust off the ole PS4 for this one… Sea of Solitude is a 3 hour long game that can be thrown onto the same family tree of like an ico game.. its that kind of feeling.. obviously nowhere near as complex, but I just found myself in a trance like state, following this light around, cleansing areas, defeating that sections boss, learning your lesson, and unlocking the next area… youre free to explore as much or as little as youd like, collecting pittles and shooing seguls.. but there isn’t much to explore as again this is a very tiny game, but it was a nice bite size.. It ended right on time.. not feeling too long or too short… this really was a nice story focused unique experience…I love these types of games that don’t hit you over the head with puzzles and fighting, youre just exploring, interacting with the things you gotta interact with, no searching, no stress… just getting lost in the world and enjoying the ride…Though admittedly some will find experiences like this to be lacking, I however love every once in a while just taking a break and going through a game like this that isn’t so game heavy..I nice pallet cleanser in between other stuff.I also found the story telling to be touching and thought provoking, so there is definitely some substance here.I give Sea of Solitudea 7/10

The storytelling and the final message, for me, it didn't ring a bell (specially), but for many people it was VERY special because of the related family issues in a normal and modern relationship. I cannot identify very much with the game but I appreciate what they did, and it seems to be a very special way to tells a story. Overall, a great game with a good message and technically is not a top game, but it works perfectly without any horrible bug at all. Minor things that every other game has.
