Sure thing, let’s dive in. Or maybe plunge in? Who can say.

So, you ever wake up in a place that makes zero sense? No? Just me? Anyway, that’s exactly where Celeste Brody finds herself. Yep, smack dab in a mysterious underwater facility. And I mean, why is it always dark and creepy down there? Seriously, it’s like the ocean has a contract with horror games.
Submersed 2: The Hive just dropped on Xbox One and Xbox X|S Series, courtesy of those Spanish minds at Main Loop Videogames. Imagine waking up deep below the Atlantic Ocean, surrounded by darkness and dangers that… well, let’s just say they’re not friendly. Kinda feels like waking from a bad nap into a worse dream. Go figure.
Now, this is where it gets tricky. You’re Celeste with barely any gear, and every bullet and band-aid is a prize. I mean, why do we always have limited ammo in these scenarios? Some cosmic joke? Maybe. But that’s the deal. You’ve got these creepy-crawlies and sea nightmares around every bend, and they aren’t there for tea.
Imagine this: the ocean is hiding rogue science projects gone wrong. Like, really wrong. Sometimes it’s best to tiptoe around. Other times? Maybe you just run and hope for the best. Whatever keeps you alive another five minutes, right? And those sounds. The way a bulkhead creaks – it’s like the ocean’s having a conversation. About you. Yeah, unsettling.
Then there are the moments, outside that wet prison, where you’re like “Ah, finally, fresh air!” Only, it’s the ocean and incredibly not fresh.
Anywho, get ready to dive into those depths. Confront your fears. Can you escape? Not to sound cheesy, but that’s entirely up to you.
Submersed 2: The Hive is out now. And, uh, fair warning — it’s not for the faint-hearted. Or people with fish phobias. Or fans of dry land. Just saying.

Phew! I’m gonna need a cookie after that.
