But again, I never saw much need to ever turn this off.Ī Swell Shark? Are we sure it’s not more of a Just Okay Shark?īeyond Blue is meant to be a game about taking in the beauty of the ocean, while also hopefully learning a thing or two. Call it the designated “swim slightly faster” button. Same with the designated sprint button, although I guess it’s not really sprinting if you’re underwater.
For me, I never really saw any reason to turn the scanner off. When you activate your scanner, the camera does zoom in a bit, but this will allow you to see which fish you have or haven’t recorded in your log. You’ve got a button to swim straight up, and one to swim straight down. Swimming feels incredibly fluid, and the camera moves at a good pace if you need to look for that fish that just swam off or get your bearings using the compass. The main thing the developers needed to get right in a game like this was swimming, and they absolutely nailed it. The mechanics are beautiful in their simplicity. As Beyond Blue progresses, you’ll gain access to new technology like a drone that allows you to scan more specific parts of larger creatures, to equipment that lets you dive deeper and explore the darker parts of the sea. The main story arguably focuses on Mirai’s relationship with a family of sperm whales she’s been following and observing, particularly the newly birthed baby whale. Once you have your goals, swim to the closest one, perform a quick scan or minor task like collecting nearby coral samples, rinse and repeat before swimming to another buoy for another handful of missions. You’ll generally swim towards one of the underwater buoys, and use the equipment there to track down various sounds like faulty equipment or playful dolphins. Objectives in Beyond Blue never get too complicated. Mirai’s livestreams have some truly BIG guest appearances. Don’t forget to like, comment and subscribe for more Whitetip Reef Sharks. She works with OceanX and aids in their research, while also cataloging the animals below the sea, and even performing some underwater livestreams. You play as Mirai, a young woman who fell in love with the ocean at a young age, and is eager to explore it.
So much so that they consulted with real marine biologists to make sure everything was as accurate as possible, which is really cool. Beyond Blue opens up by telling us that it’s based on the Blue Planet series, and the developers really did their homework when it came time to do research for this title.
At first glance, Beyond Blue may look like one of those underwater documentaries, and that’s because it basically is.
