This franchise urgently needs real competition to motivate further enhancements.

Endless Ocean Luminous takes you deep into the sea to encounter various species and make you feel like a qualified researcher.

Although it has areas for improvement, there is no doubt that it possesses potential that, hopefully, players will know how to leverage.
