Endless Ocean Luminous Review
30.04.2024 - 16:23 / thesixthaxis.com
The original Endless Ocean game’s slogan was ‘Dive, Discover, Dream’. While that might be gloriously alliterative, it wasn’t enough to make the diving game genre achieve much more than a few air bubbles of interest in a sea of alternatives. It’s somewhat surprising then to discover that the Wii original spawned not one, but two sequels, and here Luminous stands as the third in an unlikely trilogy. While Endless Ocean Luminous is clearly doing its own thing, it seems likely that the diving game genre will wait a little longer for a tidal wave of interest to wash in.
Endless Ocean: Luminous is, as previously mentioned, a game about diving. You are a nameless diver and, accompanied by Sera, the survey, exploration and research assistant AI, you head off into the depths in search of different aquatic species. Your primary aim throughout the game is to locate and scan them in order to build up your own reputation as a researcher, furthering knowledge of the fictional Veiled Sea.
This unusual region is constantly shifting and changing, and each time you choose to embark on a new dive the area spawns in a new configuration, with a numeric code given to identify it. You can share this code with friends if you’ve found a particularly interesting layout for them to explore, or even explore an area with them in a Shared Dive.
The simple fact of the matter is that each area does very little different, and while there might be some interesting deep sea crevices, a series of interconnected reefs, or the remains of a wrecked ship, they’re strung together by bland, listless areas punctuated by the smallest of topographical details. From a visual point of view, the areas you’re exploring are generally extremely basic.
Endless Ocean Luminous is still capable of wringing an occasional ‘wow’ moment out of you, starting with your first introduction to the World Coral, a diverse ecosystem with multiple types of coral forming a single reef. You’re part of the team that’s been despatched to study it, and to understand the necrosis that is slowly killing this unique biosphere.
To do that, you need to collect information, and that means scanning. Oooooh boy, does it mean a lot of scanning. Find some unscanned fish, crustaceans or sea-dwelling mammals and scan them. This then gives you the option of a short piece of information on that particular species, and earns you points which go towards your researcher level. The first thirty or so times, I felt like I was learning something, but by the time you locate the hundredth, you’ll likely be skipping the information and swimming as swiftly as possible to the next shoal.
That’s not helped by the fact that Endless Ocean Luminous isn’t solely focussed on the factual. Early on in your

Excellent 4X strategy sim Endless Legend is free on Steam for a week
Being offered a 4X game for free is definitely one of those cursed-monkey-paw situations. Sure, you’re saving physical currency, but at what price in terms of that most treasured and least tradeable of commodities, time? In the hours it takes to properly clean out a 4X game, you could probably build an empire yourself. OK, not a huge empire. An empire the size of the Vatican or the Principality of Sealand, perhaps. Maybe an empire that only covers the distance between your desk and your fridge. But an empire nonetheless. Go on, pronounce yourself God-Tyrant of your bedroom while you download Amplitude’s Endless Legend, which is 100% off on Steam till 10am PDT, 1pm EDT and 6pm BST on May 23rd.

Read Only Memories: Neurodiver Review
2064: Read Only Memories was a game that never fully piqued my interest. I love the idea of a sci-fi anime-esque adventure, but the aesthetic of that game never seemed as tightly dialled in as I would have wanted it to be. It’s sequel, though, has looked exactly like the game I’ve been waiting for. I was hooked from the first reveal trailer for Read Only Memories: Neurodiver, mouth nearly watering at the technicolor characters and gorgeously rendered future streets. Now, after ages of delays, I’ve finally gotten to sit down and play the game, and I just desperately wish there was more of it.
