Endless Ocean: Luminous

Our analysis

A monotonous underwater exploration game that relies too heavily on simple scanning mechanics with little gameplay depth, artificial presentation, and disappointing online multiplayer that fails to justify its $50 price point.

Our analysis

Endless Ocean: Luminous offers relaxing exploration and satisfying swimming controls, but its gated story mode and stripped-back gameplay limit its appeal. The reviewer enjoyed it to a degree, though it lost its grip sooner than expected.
