Sea of Solitude tells a story about a girl going through hardships in all aspects of her life. A broken home, a troubled brother, and a distant romantic relationship on top of her own depression and loneliness.

The gameplay focuses on exploration and platforming to avoid massive monsters. Using a boat to traverse a sunken city, the main character is not just avoiding the demons around her, but moving towards them in order to help.

There were some issues with collectables when I was trying to finish the achievements. Having missed one seagull and one message in a bottle, I had to go through multiple levels to locate what I missed with no indication of which chapter the missing items were located.

Some of the other achievements are a bit tedious such as swimming a long distance when you use the boat mainly, or dying to enemies when you normally play without dying.

Overall I thought the story was the best part of the game, the graphics were smooth and lovely. I wouldn't be opposed to a sequel, but I don't think it is needed.
