July 2025
Something I think is really rare nowadays when it comes to VR games is a game where you really have no primal objective. Not something like a sandbox game, rather exploration or just taking in the scenery, and I think this game is perfect for it. The graphics are incredible, the locations are unique and stunning, and its a great game if you just want to sit back and chill.

I think this is a fantastic game to introduce people to VR with. The swimming mechanic combined with the VR headset really shows how VR can provide unique experiences that other platforms just can't. I showed this game to my dad, who is definitely not a gamer or into computer games, and he loved it. In fact, the next day he bought a Quest 3 and a PC just so he can keep playing it at home! He's since discovered VR golf and Real VR Fishing and is hooked (pun intended).

Everything about it, the flora, fauna, atmosphere, sounds, even the way the light is reflected in the water, how the animals react... It's all just so perfect this is my new relaxation game. I've been scuba diving and snorkeling since I was 8 and out of every game I've played scuba wise non can compare with this one. It's so peak. I would buy every future dlc that this dev releases. you can tell it's a passion project and by God it's the best passion project I've ever seen.

First of all, graphics are amazing and swimming is better than any other VR game. The animals and sharks are so real, But please add some more maps [Open ones like Cobalt Cove and a freely explorable] and the fish should be catchable and some sharks not so friendly. My mum played this and said ''its like i'm in mediterranean!'' but then she saw that shark [The one deep in cobalt] and she laughed but for no reason she didn't like it when she got tangled in reeds. Any way great game over all if u like Subnautica without the 10 reapers or any hostile creature and amazing graphics

For someone like me who will never jump into an open body of water ever, and that includes the swimming pool, this becomes quite a dare. I still have to fight the challenge of virtual reality motion sickness, I tried out locomotion for a bit before switching to teleport, but it's both exhilarating and horrific to find myself swimming around in this game. I was very fearful to venture further in the first stage after the tutorial and had to swim alongside the "invisible" wall to get further offshore. I am very impressed with the water physics and it's one of the best looking VR games out there. I just need to muster up the courage to keep going.
