    Like the team’s previous work, Never Alone, Beyond Blue shares informative content via a genuine love for its topic. I can easily imagine pre-teens picking this up and wanting to be marine biologists, in the same way that I wanted to become a skateboarder, or how one might want to be a paleontologist after walking out of Jurassic Park.

    I loved my time with Beyond Blue. It’s incredibly relaxing being able to swim through the ocean, and mesmerising to reach depths that many of us will never see in real life. From its interesting story, fantastic soundtrack and admirable inclusion of educational elements, Beyond Blue is an excellent title that a wide gamut of gamers will enjoy. It isn’t free of issues, but they don’t deter from the magic of diving into an unexplored underwater world.

    Beyond Blue might lack gameplay variety and an absorbing plot, but it balances it with a fascinating and realistic depiction of the underwater world, letting us explore and discover the sheer beauty of dolphins, whales and sperm whales.

    Although Beyond Blue might not stand out from a gameplay perspective, it hits all the right spots as a remarkable educational tool about the planet’s underwater world.

E-Line Media worked closely with BBC's Blue Planet II team and OceanX to bring you this realistic adventure. You play as a marine biologist, and diver as you head out into the ocean and document the life around you. The swimming is relaxing as you investigate the oceanic life and glide along the incredible environments. The ambient sounds are breathtaking, from the movement of the ocean to the calls of whales and dolphin chitters. Your job is to scan and catalogue the wildlife you come across. Later you get an enhanced scanner that allows you to scan more precise data and identify the life you're observing more closely, using scars and dorsal fins to identify individuals. Along your journey you'll have a chance to watch documentaries and interviews with scientists and activists who reflect on the things you've done during the game. You will board your sub between dives to analyze your findings and report them to base, as well as deal with a few other distractions. The game is beyond beautiful and invites you into an incredibly relaxing environment while teaching you about the the largest Biome on earth, the Ocean. Marine enthusiasts and those who enjoy a relaxing game should add this one to their library!… Full Review »

    Tremendos imágenes por muy aburrido, A falta de acción que lo complementa con los gráficos por eso le doy esta puntuación.
