Behemoths of the deep such as Sperm Whales and Humpbacks truly come to life but there is no risk of becoming a modern day Jonah, as none of these creatures will harm the player ( Beyond Blue is rated PEGI-7 after all). The Wildlife Looks Fantasticĭespite not being enhanced for the Xbox One X or Playstation 4 Pro, Beyond Blue still looks fantastic. Fans of adventure games will potentially find the narrative lacking, simulation ethusiasists will be disappointed by the lack of advanced features, and the exploration crowd will probably find that the 8 environments do not offer much in terms of replayability but I wager that gamers young and old will enjoy the experience nonetheless. With all that being said, it is problematic (for me at least) to pigeonhole Beyond Blue into a genre. Beyond Blue tells the story of a crew of scientists – Mirai, André, and Irina – who set out to test their ‘Ocean Sense Network,’ which has the power to shine a literal light on the unexplored depths of the ocean as they unravel its endless mysteries. ![]() Set against the near-future backdrop of Earth’s oceans, Beyond Blue features the scientific support of real-world exploration and outreach initiative OceanX, embracing its minimally invasive exploration techniques. The fact that the makers of Blue Planet II were involved with the game (which is a fantastic series, definitely worth a watch) certainly set my expectations high for an educating experience. But Beyond Blue also feels like an interactive documentary, due to the extensive collaboration with scientists and marine biologists. Whilst a decent summation, it could also be loosely described as a diving simulator due to the vivid recreation of the aquatic environments and wildlife that inhabit them. The official description of Beyond Blue is: a single-player narrative adventure that takes you deep into our planet’s beating blue heart. But when I saw that it was from the same publisher as the BAFTA award-winning Never Alone, I practically bit my editor’s hand off.
