    Call of the Sea is a game that knows how to find a way to tell its story and integrate its gameplay in an effective and balanced way through the exploration of its scenarios. It is a relaxed puzzle adventure, suitable for all types of players and that invites, through its careful artistic section, to be enjoyed calmly. I think it has the foundation to be a great game, makes some brave decisions and tells a peculiar story. However, I feel that it has been too restrained, that it could have given something more of itself in terms of duration and difficulty, but the truth is that I really want to see what will be next in Out of the Blue [Recommended]

    A dazzlingly different debut with a haunting sense of place and adventure. [Eurogamer Recommended]

    Call of The Sea was a bumpy ride for me.

    It started great. I was loving the adventure and the graphics + performance on Series X.    Call of The Sea was a bumpy ride for me.

    I was loving the adventure and the graphics + performance on Series X.

    However, after around 30% of the story the game starts going downhill and continues till the end.
    Puzzles are ok, graphics are great, performance ok (later in the game there are SERIOUS frame drops).
    The thing that made me give this game such a note is story.
    It just wasn't for me apparently.
    As mentioned, I was loving it till a certain point, but afterwards the narrative turns and goes into a different direction, that I was just not a fan of. Disappointing ending as well for me.

    At least the game is in game pass and is 4h long, so you are not risking a lot by giving it a try.    … Full Review »
