Beyond Blue Review (Video)

Beyond Blue allows you to explore the ocean as deep-sea explorer and scientist. Your mission is to help tag and catalogue various oceanic wildlife and make high-stakes decisions during your expedition.

The game is very relaxing to play generally, although there does appear to be a storyline in the background that reminded me a little of a soap opera. However, I tended to focus more on the swimming and exploring aspects and enjoyed them a great deal.
