This game made me die of bordem... hear me out.
Ok, I hate saying it but this game is painfully boring and seems to be missing something.

I am a ocean lover. So on that end at least I wish I could be like the person in the game. That said this game felt like it was missing alot. I get its an educational simulator more or less. Some games like Abzu have elements and things to them that make fun to play. Even if mainly once.

But by the time I did my second mission in this game, I was skipping all the talking and swimming around felt repetitive. It's odd because many ocean games don't feel that way, at least not constantly. I got so bored that I ended up alt-f4ing and uninstalling.

I know you can't change the game at this point. But in the future I'd try coming up with better story/dialogue. Maybe some mechanic that keeps you a bit more enthralled and interested. A ocean game like this where the underwater life feels more real and less scripted or "Whale will sit in same place forever" or "Fish swims in same circle". A more living, breathing eco system would really help. And it can still be educational and fun.

Now that said. I had no issues with the characters per say. The music was wonderful. I enjoyed your sub was nice looking, even if a bit more futuristic.

I am also sad to hear Beyond Blue: After The Storm was equally not enjoyed. I have VR and was kinda looking forward to it but lost interest. Again, not saying its the worst game ever or anything. The general idea is there, but needs some work.
