Beyond a Coral Sea

This is one of the greatest Ocean games I've ever played! Enough with the super death leviathans, enough with oceans that barely resemble the ones on earth, and enough of the overcomplication and DEFINITELY enough with trying to make it scary. This game is a fresh breath of saltwater for me. Its not some dauntingly large complex game, and that's why I like it. Build a raft and go find islands, see what mushrooms kill you, taste good or are 'magic.' Find eldritch talking seashells. Stab fish with a sword. Hang out and enjoy a personal tropical paradise. No need to bother with some incredible weighty journey that takes you to see all the things besides the unmatched otherworldliness of normal earth starfish. I see so many games that take place in an alien ocean filled with giant monsters that want to kill you for no reason. None of these said giant monsters fill me with awe the way a NORMAL WHALE does. This game is beautifully simple with nothing more than the implication of deeper things, and while I know the ocean of earth is endlessly complex, a game about it doesn't have to be. And this game nailed the nautical atmosphere I've always hoped for better than even the most renown aquatic games. My only issue is the occasional use of what appears to be AI imagery, which I'm not a big fan of. Hopefully when the game is fully released it will also come with a cleansing of AI generated artwork. But this game is great and the use of AI imagery was sparse enough (from what I could tell) that I can look past it just this once.

Ещё одно маленькое VR открытие. Игра короткая, если спешить то можно пройти минут за 30, но исследование островов займет куда больше времени. Взаимодействие с миром сделано интересно и иммерсивно. Шутка ли но грести веслом нужно вручную, и это очень весело. Графика тоже на уровне. Крайне рекомендую попробовать. Буду ждать DLC.

Do not buy this game until the devs fix the game like they said they would! ♥♥♥♥ this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game! I play sitting down, linked to my pc through a cable. why the ♥♥♥♥ do i need to be walking to lying down on my back? I understand people get uneasy while turning in vr but i dont so why dont you add a smooth turning thats actually smooth and not turning like the second hand on a clock if i can turn my head quicker then it should too! uninstalled, and deleted.

A hidden gem! It's a well written and immerse little adventure that I highly would recommend anyone to try. An absolute stunning world and environment to dive into! Worth every penny. Aye!

Okay so I did enjoy this experience and I do recommend it. However this is not for everybody. This game works best with room scale and you may want some room to lay down. at least once or twice. The visuals and sound are excellent. The game play is where a lot of people won't make it passed 15 min of playing. Couple of things: Controls are a little frustrating. The options to change them are very minimal. I almost jumped myself off a cliff more than once because of the controls. I'm very confused but the control choice by the devs based on what you have to do in this game but oh well. A more refined control scheme could make this a way more enjoyable experience for many people. For example, you can make your right stick smooth or snap turn. This is great! HOWEVER the right stick will still teleport walk/jump you if you move your stick too far! That's my biggest gripe with the controls. I'm using index controllers and I found it very frustrating at times to turn my character with the right stick because most of the time I would just teleport myself in the direction. Another thing that might turn some people off is the game tells you almost nothing. There are some subtle hints but I can see a lot of players getting frustrated and giving up. The beginning before the game even "starts" is a little puzzle in itself lol Again I DO recommend this game but take into account those things I mentioned above whether or not you wanna give it a go. It IS incredibly cheap so if you wanna throw a few bucks at the devs it's definitely worth the try.

A fun and inspired game where I might have the world record in raft rowing speed! A lot of attention to detail, and an overall good quality of audio, voice acting and visuals makes for a great experience overall. Recommended!

Breve ma piacevolissima avventura in VR in cui siamo naufraghi su un'isola deserta e dobbiamo capire cosa fare. Dobbiamo forse sforzarci un po' troppo di capire cosa il gioco vuole che facciamo, ogni tanto. Non è tanto chiaro con cosa e come bisogna interagire per far proseguire la storia, come usare corda e legni per costruire la zattera, come liberarsi dei granchi giganti (se è possibile pescare pesci è difficilissimo o poco intuitivo perché io non ci sono mai riuscito) o che bisogna aver necessariamente recuperato tutti i propri averi - e scoperto quindi come si fa per prendere quelli più "complicati" - prima di salire sulla cima dello scoglio... Ma nel complesso sicuramente molto carino!

What a fantastic experience. This was so much better than many VR games. I was absolutely invested in the world of this game. The visuals are also some of the best that I've seen, and this is THE best water I have ever seen in VR. Well done. This is outside of my normal gaming preferences, but I'd gladly sink hours into a longer version of something like this.

Gestrandet auf einer kleinen Inselgruppe ist das erste Ziel zu überleben. Denn so schön und paradiesisch es hier aussieht, auf Dauer ist es doch nichts. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3264701843 Aber um hier weg zu kommen müssen wir uns hier gut umsehen (und alles einpacken, was nicht Nied- und Nagelfest ist.) Manche Crafting-Methoden sind zwar nicht besonders inutitiv (hau mit einem Seil auf einem Brett und einem Balken um ein Floss zu bauen) aber wenn man dann erst einmal bewaffnet und mobil ist, steht dem Erkunden nichts mehr im Weg. 2 - 4 Stunden Spielzeit, dann heißt es: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3264702415

Great game!
