Is it any good, I know it didnt live up to the hype, but apart from hype, is it a decent game?

For 6 dollars, it's totally worth it. The gameplay is very fun and the city itself is nice to interact with. I wasn't too big on it, since the characters and story were pretty bland(and I payed 60 for it...), but I think you'll enjoy it.

Has anyone here had a chance to play Song of the Deep yet?

I have! I love it. What questions do you have?

Just a few things, if you think it's worth it, how it plays, if some parts are tedious like some reviews say, and if you beat it, about how long it took. Thanks in advance!

I think the review scores are way too low. For me, it's one of the best games of 2016. But keep in mind this is coming from someone who loves action-adventure games in general and Metroidvanias in particular. I'm also a big gameplay over story/presentation guy.

For me, the game started off slowly and humbly. For a while I thought this is a nice on-model Metroidvania, but nothing really special. As I explored the underwater world more, unlocked different power-ups, and discovered more treasure, I started to fall in love with it. It has a sweet and simple story about a daughter searching for her lost father, and some hints about the undersea civilization she's passing through. Combat is relatively simple, so if you're looking for something more tactical you might be disappointed. Boss battles can only be described as underwhelming. But exploration is a joy, and puzzle-solving is challenging but not overly frustrating.

There are some technical glitches, including slow-down when the screen gets too busy with enemies or lasers. There's also a segment with one-hit kill enemies that can be frustrating, but it's also super tense and scary.

I think it took me about 9 hours to play, but I went for 100%. You could probably beat the game in half that time if you rushed.

It's definitely worth $15 for me, but you can always wait for a sale. Wouldn't be surprised if it's on PSN for $7.49 or $9.99 in a few months.

 

I hope this helps!

Pretty much everyone I know that enjoys games and isn't a pompous wannabe games journalist with a hateboner every chance they get says it's really good.  Solid, fun game with a lot of fun to be had and a lot of content to keep you busy for a while.  

It 'doesn't live up to the hype' inasmuch as it didn't look as pretty in the final game as it did in the screenshots and pre-release footage.
