Summary
Endless Ocean is the third installment in the Everblue series, games focused on exploring an underwater world. The main focus of the game is exploration of the game world and cataloguing the various species of animals found there. Endless Ocean slightly differs from its predecessors in that the traditional “game elements” have been mostly removed – where Everblue 2 set a goal for the player by having them search for treasure underwater, Endless Ocean is more freeform and just lets the player explore at their own pace. There are still treasures to find, but as Endless Ocean is mostly freeform exploration and has no overarching plot, the player is in no obligation to look for these items to progress through the game.

This game had some great features. It is great to just go swimming around in the ocean looking at fish. The game is nice and relaxing with relaxing music and sounds of the ocean. I enjoy finding and learning about all the fish and other creatures. Each creature gets three sets of information about itself. Which is a bit weird on how to retrieve it. The first set you just find the animal and interact with it by shaking the Wii Mote around. Then the next two times you have to come back at different times and interact some more. Weird but not bad.
There is a story. I haven’t finished the game but I can see the idea of it all. You and Katherine Sunday go on a mission to fill out your encyclopedia with demands from the bossman. Also while out sailing around you get requests from random people to see fish. These guys will roll up in a jet ski and want to see one specific fish. Which is easy enough until they start to whine and complain that we cannot find the fish they want. “Hey look a whale and a shark and an octopus. But I’m not satisfied until I see a Oriental Butterflyfish.” And Katherine Sunday is backwards. She is a marine biologist that cannot swim. And she holds you back from exploring the cool stuff like trenches and caves. Which are just unlockables. And also while on the boat there will be random animals that spawn on the boat. From penguins to a polar bear. How they get on the boat, I don’t know. Not bad. Just odd. There are treasures you can find and dolphins you can train. A custom aquarium is there. That is pretty cool.
The biggest issue is that some fish that I have interacted with do not give me the info about them. This really bothers me. It’s like seeing a rare wild Pokémon and you cannot catch it because you have no Pokeballs. Only difference is this is the games fault.
The controls can be a bit clunky at times too. You have to keep the Wii Mote facing the screen. Then moving around is not as easy as it could have been. The graphics are okay. The creatures and landscape are good. The people look terrible.
Conclusion: This is a relaxing game. So you want to fight and shoot and kill and see animals eat other animals, then this is not your game. This is for exploring the world around you and having fun with what the game has to offer. Which is an ending ocean. There are boundaries. Even within the big world which isn’t that big.
