Rating: 6.5/10 Time to complete: 2 hours Overview: Great visuals and sound, meditative, immersive, almost no gameplay, no consequences, interactive movie, pretty much like you’re watching natural geographic or like Avatar: Way of Water. It’s like a dream, and it’s mesmerizing. If you want gameplay or a challenge, this is probably not for you. Spoilers Ahead Art: - Amazing stylized graphics and lighting. It has stunning visuals and knows how to set-up a mood. - Some of my favorites moments are when you first enter one of the desolate areas with no life and you have to restore it. It looks so empty and murky. I love the feeling it gives off. When you have 3 degrees of freedom to move around, and you’re just floating in the vast emptiness, and in every direction there’s nothing - it makes you feel so small. - Another moment I recall to is the whales, when you get to swim with me - that whole cinematic was gorgeous. - There’s different biomes, all sorts of fish to see. Voice acting and sound design: - No voice acting - The music was gorgeous. Very meditative, relaxing. If you’ve had a long day and you just wanna chill, this is for you. But it also has very empowering moments, especially towards the end when you’re flying through the red portal before you go off to destroy the machinery. Paired with the art, the music really helps you feel the world this game puts you in. Progression: - You play it for around 2 hours and I think that’s plenty. You progress through the different levels relatively quickly. Gameplay: - The movement felt smooth, swimming around felt nice. - I had an issue with the camera on my PS4 controller. I couldn't invert the pitch (up,down) - there's an option but it just didn't do anything. It felt clunky until i got used to it. - There’s no gameplay really, or consequences. How you perform in this game really doesn’t matter, you’ll progress through it either way. Story: - There’s no dialog, no text anywhere. The story is kept vague and is portrayed through imagery on the walls as you progress through the world, and it’s up to the player to interpret and make some sense of this. I personally don’t like this as much. I like being told a story, and finding out exactly what happened, and exactly what the author was trying to convey. And as much as I enjoy a walking simulator, it needs a more fleshed-out story. This was just too vague for me. Final thoughts: - You play this to relax and let yourself feel and experience. I have great things to say about the art and music, and it carries it enough for me to recommend it, but I don’t think I’m the ideal type of audience that would fully appreciate this game. The 2 hour length felt ideal. Anything more and I would’ve gotten fatigued. The game is made to purely feel - no consequences, almost no gameplay, minimal thinking, but maximum feeling. - What helped was watching a video analysis of the game afterwards where the person theorizes about what happened and such, and it started making sense. That’s honestly a really good way to enrich the experience from this game. - Also, I believe this would HIGHLY benefit from being a VR experience.

PEAK CINEMA no fighting but here are aleins that damage you and you can pulse them away but its a buetifull long and fun game KEEP IT UP WITH SWORD OF THE SEA AND PATHLESS GIANT SQUID PEAK

Sometimes, you just want to swim in the ocean and unwind. Beautiful ocean adventure.
