[h1]Experienced on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers[/h1] This is a HOG for VR where you teleport around a small map looking for sunken treasure. Surprisingly, it is the best HOG I have played for VR. Now, it isn't perfect and there are a few issues that keep it from getting a higher score from me. Before I get into that, let me talk about what's good about this hidden-object game. There are 12 mostly beautiful environments to explore. Each of the 12 underwater scenes are unique and detailed. Even the main hub area has a nice ship and the ocean water actually looks better here than almost anything in VR. My favorite was definitely the second level (Pirate shipwreck dive) where you have several sharks circling above you as you look for the hidden treasure. One of the sharks even comes right at you if you are in the right spot. That level is actually better than most of the underwater experiences in VR. There's also underwater jelllyfish glowing in the dark, turtles swimming above you, octopuses gliding around you, you're surrounded by piranhas, you're in an underwater Roman (looks Greek to me) lost city with prehistoric sea creatures circling above you, and there's dead bodies floating above you as you hear whales nearby as a submarine passes by. There's just so many good scenes in this freaking HOG and all for $5 (I paid $2.49 USD during the Steam Winter sale 2018), it's unreal actually. Okay, so what's the catch? Well, the hidden object game mechanic isn't the best. It's just too simple. You have a radar basically telling you exactly where the treasures are. In case that isn't enough help, you also have bubbles floating above the treasure. In case that's not enough, your metal detector beeps whenever it is near the treasure. So yeah, it's almost impossible to not find the hidden treasure. The only time I had any difficulty was when the treasure was a small ring or coin and it was on the edge of the map. For whatever reason, bubbles don't show and they are just very hard to see when they are on the edge of the map under some other other object. Even so, you'll often get items just by blindly putting your metal detector on the ground floor near where the radar says. I finally had enough and just decided to stop using the radar, which is hard to do because it's right on the tool you need to get the treasure. However, by doing this, it did increase the challenge and thus improved the gameplay. I strongly suggest NOT using the radar unless you want a very easy excursion. Also, it helps in enjoying the views when you're actually looking for treasure versus looking at your radar. This game could have been so much better if instead of having a radar, the metal detector just beeped (although the beeping should be better as it is right now, it isn't helpful). Also the bubbles should show better on the edges of map. And it would be totally awesome if you could swim around versus teleport around the map. In the jellyfish map the vegetation looked a little off. And one of the map levels was a little jittery for some reason, although the rest were fine. [b]Rate 7/10. Whole thing took me about an hour to finish (stopped looking at radar after 3rd level). I had fun. Several of the level maps were just absolutely beautiful.[/b] [i]p.s. I did experience one issue where my Touch controller would not show the teleportation. i had to restart.[/i]

Very basic game. Boring after a few min of play
