What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Characters are funny, there are many references and humor and just does not take itself too seriously, which is good.
Going Under has a great soundtrack with satisfying and challenging gameplay.
I had so much fun playing this game, the graphics and theme I liked a lot too.

It is nice they have accessibility options that you can tinker with if you inevitably start to get bored with things.
Instead, after a year-ish of on-and-off support and mostly lackluster updates, the game was left in an abandoned state, without basic QoL features, like rebinding the keyboard and controller inputs (which was not only planned, but is apparently already a base feature in the game’s engine, Unity) or mid-run saving (which should be standard for every roguelite and roguelike, btw).
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. 2 more themes were each raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and are not shown.
