The game's story aspect is largely absent, with players noting a lack of narrative depth or context for the missions. Instead, the gameplay revolves around repetitive tasks such as spearfishing, treasure hunting, and photography across three locations, which can become tedious and uninspired. While the missions provide a casual and relaxing experience, they often lack challenge and creativity, leading to a sense of monotony.
- “The landscapes are absolutely beautiful, there are three major locations around the world for you to explore and each has various missions you can complete.”
- “A fun relaxing game, where you take missions in different oceans to hunt fish, find treasures, or just take shots with your camera.”
- “The diversity of the things you can do (from photographing reefs and specific fish to a 'catch as many as you can' timed mission) keeps you stocked with things to do as you listen to relaxing music and explore the ocean's depths.”
- “The game lacks content in terms of a story, and the missions are repetitive and lack creativity.”
- “There's no story present at all. Quite frankly, not every game needs a deep and meaningful story, but at least some sort of introduction or explanation of who you are, why you're there, and what you do would have been nice.”
- “The missions are bland and tedious, and exploration is pointless considering how easy it is to get all of the upgrades.”

- “Overall, beautifully done ocean graphics, gameplay needs tons of improvements.”
- “Graphics are outdated, even at the time for a 2014 game, but it holds up as a pretty cool underwater scene.”
- “The terrain graphics are nothing special, looking like something from an unmodded Skyrim.”
- “The graphics are a little lacking, and swimming precision is a bit annoying at times, but other than that, it was a fun few hours.”
