Beyond Blue is an amazing adventure game where you explore underwater and discover and learn more about fauna and flora... The graphics are really beautiful and the ambiant is so relaxing. It worth it and I highly recommend it!!! 🩵🐬🩵

It's not as good as Subnautica or Endless Ocean (2), and it's also pretty short, but I still really enjoyed it. If you like Abzu and Endless Ocean, you may like this game too. It doesnt give too much freedom and the maps you dive in are pretty small, but it's a good diving game nonetheless, with an educational side to it, good music and beautiful visuals.

Surprisingly engaging and atmospheric. It's clearly a love project of the developer. I thought it would be boring at first, but although there is no action, it's still very intriguing to play. At its core it's a narrative adventure in which we follow the main characters in her dives, which are guided by two other scientists and focus on the whale family the MC is following. The game sucked me right in with the second dive. Very immersive. The main story is very short though, but you can repeat all the dives and explore to your liking.

This game while not long was so cute and beautiful and informative. I highly recommend. If you like me are not close to the ocean this is a great game to pretend you are helping these amazing creatures.

Recommended with caveats. 1) If you are looking at this wondering if it's like Subnautica - it's not. 2) If you are looking at this wondering if the game is like ABZÛ - it's not. If you are looking for something that is high-action, high energy, high drama, high danger- you are in the wrong place. It is a beautiful underwater grindy walking-sim. Except you are swimming. It's a very chill game that can be very frustrating at times. There is a story- it's somewhat shallow- there was room to go into the different parts of the story more deeply. And if you hate pro-environmental activism or messaging- walk away now. This is very much a game for environmentalists h who enjoy educational material mixed with a somewhat relatable fictional story. Help save the whales. Help save the sea turtles. If you are cool with that- maybe you'll appreciate the story. The music is good, with some really awesome tracks you can choose to play while on your submarine. The art is beautiful, but has some issues with clipping and occasional blobby/melty rendering in really busy areas. The controls- well, they kinda suck. Both kb/m and controller feel clunky or awkward. And the camera controls are awful in certain situations (using the manta drone to scan creatures in particular). And the character's walking animations on the sub are stiff and jerky. The diving/swimming animations are much smoother, but there are times where you bump into invisible walls or get hung up on terrain that it feels like you should be able to glide over smoothly. The game runs fine, but is not optimized as well as it could be, IMHO, Accessibility: There are numerous instances of flashing lights and quick lighting changes that could cause issues for people with Epilepsy or other light-induced neurological conditions. For people with vision problems and color-blindness- there are quite a few areas where a lack of contrast may make details hard to distinguish, may cause headaches, or may be really hard to see due to the color palettes used. The map in particular- targets on the full map are pale orange circles on a light blue-turquoise background. There is no option to change map colors to make it easier to see, even for people with perfect vision. This was an issue for me, and I can usually see low-contrast colors fairly well. Poor design choice for the full map. You will need both hands to play this game- whether kb/m or controller. Both feel awkward and clunky. I do not have an Adaptive Controller set-up to test it on, so I can't say how the game will be using one, but I suspect the controls will still feel very awkward unless you have a very (expensive) specialized set up, There really are no puzzles to solve, just targets to find and scan or collect, which can be tedious. There are some distressing subjects being dealt with involving dementia, death, inter-personal relationships, and industrial waste and destruction of the planet. Emotional triggers that might be painful for some people, that may not be mitigated by the hopeful moments and successes in the game.. ******************************************************************************** All that said- yes, it is beautiful, and has a lot of good educational material. It is pretty chill and slow-paced. I am enjoying it, but not as much as I had hoped to- mainly because of the controls and the totally wonky camera during certain activities. I will finish the game up, and will recommend it for people looking for something slow and grindy, but chill- walking sim enjoyers, basically. I would say get it at a significant discount. Though I appreciate the educational value, and the message of the story, the sloppy controls and wonky camera make it impossible to recommend at full price.
