The graphics of the game are widely praised for their beauty and realism, creating a calming experience for players. However, technical issues, including bugs and performance problems, detract from the overall enjoyment, with some users experiencing significant loading issues even on low settings. Despite these drawbacks, the visual appeal remains a standout feature.
“Graphics are beautiful.”
“Amazing graphics - really feels and looks realistic.”
“Really love the art and graphics.”
“Game froze with the lowest possible graphic settings on the 'generating reef' screen for over 10 minutes.”
“I don't usually dislike a game unless I've played it for an extensive amount of time, but when a game won't even load with the lowest possible graphics, there is an issue.”
“(Modest gaming PC capable of running 'War Thunder', 'Once Human', and 'World of Warcraft' on high graphic settings with no lag/issues.)”

“It utilizes mechanics that are a bit hard to get used to, but are refreshing and new.”
“Great solution to the 'generating reef' problem. I hope to see more updates to improve the gameplay with new animals and activities; I love it!”
“Not really much to it gameplay-wise.”
“The attack mechanics are really tricky.”

The game suffers from significant stability issues, including frequent freezes during loading and gameplay, particularly on weaker PC builds. Players have reported problems with controls and model bugs, which hinder the overall experience and suggest a need for optimization.
“The game freezes during loading.”
“Could use some optimization; with a weaker PC build, generating a reef crashes/freezes the game.”
“Not much to do, freezes, controls aren't that great. I played as a shark, and my hunger drained all the way even when I had a fish in my mouth and was using the back and forth arrows to tear it apart to be able to eat, but it never would tear apart.”

The story has potential for greater depth and engagement, with users expressing a desire for more development through missions, progression, and skill-building elements. Overall, it is recommended, but there is a call for enhancements to fully realize its capabilities.

Users express a desire for enhanced music and sound options to improve the ambiance of the game, suggesting that a more immersive audio experience would encourage longer playtime and a more enjoyable exploration atmosphere.
“I think it would be cool to have more options and control over the ambiance, including music and sounds, to enhance the experience and encourage players to spend more time in the game.”
“The music really sets the mood and enhances the overall experience, making it enjoyable to just swim around and explore.”
“Having a diverse soundtrack would add depth to the gameplay and make each session feel unique and engaging.”
“If this is going to stay as is, as an experiment and not have further development as a sim game, then I think it would be cool to have more 'stuff' on screen, a little less management of health/air/etc, and perhaps some additional options/control over the ambiance (music/sounds) to make it more conducive to just swimming around and justify spending more time in the game.”
