Sea of Solitude is a powerful story of loneliness, perfectly complimented by a beautiful art style and score.

Clever, emotional and raw, Sea of Solitude is a personal journey that at times you feel like you're intruding on. It is resolutely truthful and, just as Kay turns aspects of herself inward and outward, you can't help but consider your own place, both amongst the people around you and inside your own head.

I can only say that my time with Sea of Solitude is one of the best gaming experiences of my life.

The simplistic gameplay could have carried the sloppy story if it was more polished. Animation breaks and the bugginess of the collision happen far too frequently in such a short game. If Sea of Solitude: The Director’s Cut was marketed as a satire of pretentious, arty, non-engagement style indie games, it would probably fool everyone.

Its repetitive tasks are like the usual arbitrary gates to reach a cutscene in a mediocre video game.
