It is the most important asset of Beyond Blue, giving you total control to immerse yourself in this amazing environment. Instead, you can indulge yourself in the mysterious underwater world in which you are submerged. As soon as an animal is scanned, you’ll learn more about the creature and its features.Īlthough you come very close to these animals, sometimes very dangerous ones indeed, there is never any danger or suspense in the game: it contributes to the game’s calming atmosphere as the game never pressures the player in doing any action within a given time nor does it give any penalties whatsoever. In case of the latter, you have to move the camera up and down to locate all the areas of interest but it can sometimes prove to be quite difficult to control from time to time, especially on larger creatures such as a whale or a shark.

When you arrive at your destinations, you are required to collect samples, plant new tracking devices or scan a number of animals using a drone. While you are exploring the twilight zone, an area in the ocean where sunlight barely reaches, you are tasked to scan the ocean for beacons or areas of interest with a scanner, which marks your targets which you need to explore. They lend their voices to the family and friends that your characters interacts with in between her deep see dives.

Although the only goal in the game is to explore the depths of the ocean and collect data from the different species you encounter, it isn’t a boring experience at all: it is actually a very immersive and well crafted journey, featuring top notch voice actors who previously worked on Ant Man (Anna Akana), Babylon 5 (Mira Furlan), Hotel Rwanda (Hakeem Kae-Kazim) and Toy Story 4 (Ally Maki).
