TOGP #56: "On the Level: Water Levels"

This week we’re discussing a level design trope in video games that many would rather didn’t exist - Water levels! These levels either take place underwater with some kind of swimming mechanic, or at minimum feature water as a central theme or mechanic. They often include changes to player mobility - especially in the underwater examples - which doesn’t always go over well amongst players, as a lot of times movement speed through the level is hindered. We’ll be discussing the design trope as a whole, specific cases that we dislike the most, and MAYBE even offering some examples of where it’s done well.
