An enjoyably compact, streamlined, and relaxing combat-free open-world game involving sailing and climbing through the ruins of a flooded post-apocalyptic city. Definitely not as good as Sable, but scratches a vaguely similar itch.

Despite releasing five years after the original Submerged, Hidden Depths is definitely an iterative sequel; it's bigger (albeit not too much so), and traversal and exploration are a bit more involved than I remember them being in the original game, but I wouldn't recommend this to anyone who didn't like the original.
