Amazing but short

An Amazing game with visuals and story and there literally nothing I could say was wrong with it but I finished the whole game in 2 days I wish it was longer I was so drawn to it and the story made see thing is a new light

PLEASE READ

I LOVE this game. It’s my favorite app on Apple Arcade so far! But I would like to see some new additions such as new fish, new locations, or a new main objective. The reason I would like some additions is because the game is very short, as I finished it in less than a day. After I finished the game, the only thing I found fun was to scan the rest of the fish. After that there’s nothing else to do other than start all over again. I just hope that there are updates in the future. -Peace

Magnificent!

I just got through playing this on my Xbox, having no idea until the very end, when the credits rolled, that it was also available on Apple Arcade. This game is magnificent and presents the wonder and awe I still, to this day, feel whenever I am on or in the ocean. I’m a kayaker and one of my sisters is a marine biologist (a whale scientist, believe it or not!) and the game is pretty true-to-life in most respects. I’ll have to see if I can introduce it to my sister the next time I see her to find out any quibbles she might have, but from a laywoman’s perspective, it’s truly wonderful. I’m scientifically literate enough to follow everything, but it’s equally fabulous for kids, too. Don’t miss this great experience (I hesitate to call it a game; it’s more a journey).

Great game.

Great game, fabulous graphics. Way too short! I was not ready for the end so soon.

There is an issue with the left hand controls where the control runs itself up and off the screen and causes the diver to backflip and go back the other way.

Beautiful and haunting

This is the first review I’ve ever written for a game. That enough should tell you about how magnificent this game is. I don’t know what I was expecting when I downloaded it, but it turned out to be one of my favorite mobile games. The sounds the creatures made, the sounds of being underwater, it was all so realistic and beautiful. The visuals were incredible from the very beginning and although I’ve never been super interested in the ocean, I was immediately hooked. I even completed the entire game in one sitting. At first, I was worried the game would be too repetitive with nonstop dives, but the addition of the submarine you can explore, the calls you make to the other characters, even the music selection had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. The phone calls and storyline gives so much personality to the characters and the emotional twists made me feel like I was the one in the diving suit. I was so attached to the characters I’m fully invested in André and his turtles, Ren and Nana, and Irina and her research. If there is a sequel in the making, I would play it the instant it’s released. I am amazed at the team who made this game, very well done! I would recommend everyone to play this game, no doubt about it.

Favorite game on iPad

This is such a relaxing and educational experience. The controls are intuitive and simple, the graphics are stunning, the sounds are pleasant, and the story/ plot, though not too complex, made the game play feel even more real for me. I learned so much about life on the atoll. I have never dived. Probably never will, so this game really helped me appreciate a wonderful ecosystem of which I could not truly understand before. Would give more than 5 stars if I could.

I’m not smart or experienced enough

I bought this for my ocean-animal obsessed grandson. I tried testing it. There are so many things I can not figure out. I searched the internet for instructions to no avail. 1) Those little meter things keep going off the side of the screen and I can’t see them. Constantly. 2) At the beginning it keeps talking about a waypoint but I had no idea what that was. Finally, I accidentally bumped into a big pole thing and accidentally grabbed it and then someone spoke to me. I say accidentally because I have never managed to grab it again after many, many, many minutes. It just won’t connect to me, when I tried the game again over and over. 3) Why does it keep saying “scanning trial?” Trial? I don’t get that.

I’d love it if someone could help. So far, I really hate this.

If you love marine animals, you’ll love this

This is one of my favorite games! I love that there’s a storyline and the insight videos are cool too. It’s such a beautiful game! I cannot stress how beautiful and calming this is.

I wish there was more info when you’re reviewing all the animals you’ve found so far, like a little summary about them. I also wish you could go back to any area where you’re missing an animal... that’s probably my only real complaint! I’ve played through twice and I can’t seem to find two of them!

really really short game:(

I personally thought it was a fantastic game that was really unique and fun. I’ve always wanted a game like this. The graphics are amazing, but one thing I thought was extremely disappointing is how short the game actually is. I finished the entire game after about two hours of playing, which compared to most games is NOT very long:( Really really hoping for an additional game where the storyline continues. Other the. that, this game is exceptional!

Diving into the Big Blue!

This game has it all, if you are looking for a serene underwater learning adventure. The variety of sea life to explore, whilst learning in the process, makes you feel like you are actually diving with the sea life. You are able to capture data & recordings to playback once your are back on the sub. Very peaceful and enjoyable game!
