With all the violent games released these days, it?s nice to play something to break the mold; something relaxing and chill. I love my fair share of shooting guns and murdering zombies just as much as the next person, but every now and again a game like Beyond Blue comes out and it?s a breath of fresh air (well, sort of, since it takes place underwater). If you?re unaware, Beyond Blue is an underwater exploration game, with an emphasis on narrative, while drawing inspiration from BBC?s Blue Planet II series. It?s published by the same studio that shipped the 2014 puzzle-platformer, Never Alone.
What makes Beyond Blue so special is how scientifically accurate it is. According to the developer, the team partnered with marine biologists to ensure the game was as authentic as possible. I asked how the team handled something in-game that couldn?t be explained, scientifically, and the Vice President of marketing, Steve Zimmermann advised that something like that would not make it into the final product. He mentioned that there?s a lot about the ocean that is unknown, but only aspects of marine life that could be explained would find their way into Beyond Blue, which makes it feel more authentic.
