As a marine biologist, I loved swimming through the ocean and discovering species. I absolutely discovered everything lol. Overall, this game is pretty cool. It's hard to get to the beach since being in a wheelchair so it's nice to live vicariously. Though I have swam with orcas, humpbacks, dolphins, jellyfish blooms, rays... all kinds of things that are in this game! I think this game does a great job at teaching about the ocean without being boring. You get to swim around in the ocean with animals, which is the fun part of marine biology, and can look further into facts about the animals if you want to in the menu (but don't have to). There is a main story line about research and endangerment that is interesting, but no choices to make. Also, for anyone that is stressing, you don't have to worry about anything attacking you in the ocean. I have only one complaint: they should have made you explore in the sub in the deep ocean, not freediving. I can get on board with the idea that we've invented some kind of breather (although I don't see why we couldn't have just had oxygen tanks) for shallower ocean dives, but it's simply never going to be reality that we can just swim around freely in very deep water. The pressure at the bottom of the ocean is too big of a hurdle for a suit, but add to that the heat of hydrothermal vents? I've seen the equipment that goes into hydrothermal vents and it's no joke- it's hard to make anything that survives that temperature. Just given that the rest of the game is so realistic, it felt really odd to have just the suit technology not be realistic. Why not show people what it takes? It's actually really cool science. The ingenuity is impressive. Also, just for anyone that is finding the ocean interesting, this game is skewed toward "characteristic megafauna", which means big things with recognizable faces that people can see and more easily feel for. I get it. Most outreach does that. It's a choice and that's fine. But as a researcher of tiny things, I suggest looking at all the invertebrates and non-animals that were left out, which are imo, the most interesting creatures with the most diverse ways of existing. TLDR: Worth it for swimming around with ocean animals

This recommendation comes with a caveat. Technically, I found it pretty good - graphics is nice, animations too. Environments are convincing and immersive. Fauna is varied and interesting. And I am fascinated by underwater games and diving (not diving IRL). I feel that they have achieved what they set out to do, hence my recommendation. I just wish they had been a bit more ambitious. As a game there is just not much too it. No risks, no challenges, no rewards. You can explore, and follow the (very linear) story. The story is bland, the dialogue unnatural. There is just too little to DO. Very few gameplay mechanics, other than walking/swimming around, clicking things, and read about them. No replay value, at all. I would LOVE a more open-world style diving game, where you can explore and learn about different biomes and lifeforms. But with actual challenges you have to overcome - with real risks and rewards and skill/gear progression. This isn't it, except for the exploring and learning part. But I feel a documentary would do a better job at this. Why choose a videogame as your medium, if you don't utilize the features that makes it so unique - choice and challenge?

TL;DR - If you are looking for a GAME, don't bother. If you hoping to be scared, don't bother. The game takes 3 hours to complete, and is a learning experience, rather than a game. It can also be a good relaxer or destresser post-game, but the price is too high for such a short duration, so get it on sale. Okay, now for the review. I played this during a charity marathon stream where the charity we were supporting was an orca based charity. This game was perfect, because it wasn't too long. However, with that comes the price tag, which is too steep when not on sale. If you are looking for gameplay, this isn't really for you. It is an adventure, it is not subnautica. As an educational tool, I think this really works, and nearly everything in the game is factually correct, with high attention to detail on cetaceans (whales and dolphins) especially. It even had orca sounds that were taken from real orcas in the same region that the game is set. I wish the game went more into detail with other animals aside from charismatic macrofauna. The game also touched on numerous conservation issues that are very relevant and prevalent. The game also showed what a biologist's work life is like, with the main protagonist getting attached to certain animals, and the rollercoaster ride that comes with that. If the developers read this, I do wonder on one inaccuracy I found though, in that there were atlantic football fish, when the game is set in the pacific. I don't know if this is factually accurate or an oversight. The game also missed a trick. It is fully third person, and I feel the option to be first person would have made the game more immersive, and this kind of game would have been amazing in VR. I recommend this game as an educational experience for both adults and children. I would also recommend this to educators trying to teach about cetaceans. However, I would also recommend it on discount. After completing the game you can freeplay the dives, and some of these can be calming and therapeutic. If there were to be a sequel, id love that, but id love to see more dives, and more diverse locations in the world. I would love to see more focus on lesser known species and perhaps a touch more gameplay options.

This game is a great way to learn a little about oceanography. Sound advice--don't click Continue to reload where you left off. Instead, load from last autosave. It saves lots of time and frustration, because you're going to want to go back again and again.
