    Great VR game. As I play this game, I get to see the beautiful environments powered by Luminous Engine.

    The fact that a Final Fantasy game has a VR game is absolutely mindblowing. Although this game can be considered a mini-fishing game, it was still fun nonetheless. Meeting the characters in VR was awesome, and although some people consider fishing a boring task in the main game, it was honestly the most fun. And now that this game was made, and the fishes being described as "monsters",The fact that a Final Fantasy game has a VR game is absolutely mindblowing.

    While this fishing simulator is visually a-lure-ing for a virtual reality game thanks to its Final Fantasy heritage, the snags are packed in like sardines. [Jan 2018, p.95]

    Monsters of the Deep is not very innovative with the fishing mechanic and the story is not exciting but boy did I enjoyed every second of it. From the incredible graphics to soothing sounds and music, this game is a must for everyone who's looking for a game to lay back, relax and have a cold one. Daemon battles are a blast but my favourite game type was free fishing.

    It's all a little rote - something we certainly don't associate with Final Fantasy. [Issue#315, p.120]
