Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
85 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics of the game are simply stunning, beating out a lot of AAA-type games especially given it's by a solo Dev, with very detailed environments and reactive wildlife.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
68 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The swimming mechanic works really well with surprisingly little VR jank (occasionally getting your hands caught on rocks), hand motions in the water propel you in the correct direction and it does recreate the feeling I get snorkelling IRL.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The way the water surface ripples across your vision and the incredible sound design truly made me feel like I was scuba diving, especially with the physical swimming controls and for VR standards, the very realistic graphic.
