YMMV / Song of the Deep

• Anti-Climax Boss: The Rimorosa is built up to be the biggest threat in the ocean and the hardest fight yet. But then it turns out that all you have to do to beat it is fight a gauntlet of enemies and pull off its mask in chunks, a process that doesn't even take 3 minutes.
• Demonic Spiders: The Red Reapers. They cannot be killed, will chase after you if you're detected, and deliver an inescapable One-Hit Kill if they catch up.
• Nightmare Fuel:
  • The Watcher's Hollow and the Watcher itself for those who are afraid of spiders.
  • Diving through a pitch-black shaft using only sonar to avoid Red Reapers is the most unnerving part of the game. And you get go back through it when ascending!
• Obvious Beta: While the initial release of the game wasn't unplayable by any means, there were still a ton of bugs that led to areas becoming inaccessible or accidentally creating unwinnable situations to be found before being patched. What supports this even more is the fact the game was patched six times within two weeks after release.
• That One Level: Navigating backwards through a small maze while being chased by Red Reapers after traversing it for a Plot Coupon. Missed the timing on your boosts? Can't select the right torpedo type fast enough? Have to wait for a pillar to retract? Guess what? You're dead! The 1.01 patch specially mentioned making this part easier, but it's still the hardest required section of the game.
• They Copied It, So It Sucks!: The game's been accused of being a complete rip-off of Aquaria.
