The game's story revolves around two main missions focused on exploring the Titanic wreck, where players scan a limited number of artifacts. While the experience offers a unique appreciation for the ship's tragic history, many reviewers express a desire for more missions and deeper gameplay elements, as the current content feels sparse and somewhat trivializes the Titanic's legacy. Overall, the game provides a fleeting yet engaging glimpse into the Titanic's story, enhanced by virtual reality support, but it lacks the depth and variety that players hope for in future updates.
- “There have been moments in the dark where I felt chills as I stared up at a virtual wall of steel with a new and awesome kind of appreciation for this legendary ship and story.”
- “The opportunity to see the Titanic up close, sad as it is, keeps the story alive with current technology and 3D imaging and can tell a different story.”
- “It makes you feel like you are truly the one down there miles down in the ocean discovering parts of the wreck and getting to piece the story together yourself.”
- “I would argue the game will never be more than some quick models, filters, and fetch quests to trivialize something that does not need the tourist attraction treatment.”
- “The story of the Titanic may be timeless, but the glimpse you get here is a very fleeting, fragile snapshot in time.”
- “It's small and only contains a short tutorial and mission to scan a few key items on the wreck.”

Overall, it is seen more as an exploration tool than a traditional game, with calls for optional gameplay features to improve engagement.
- “The gameplay is pretty intuitive; some scanning elements can be a little tricky, but it's very easy to control the ROVs.”
- “Anyway, still an interesting experience, just extremely basic gameplay-wise.”
- “The gameplay consists of 'go here, press button, go to next place, rinse repeat'.”
- “I can't really recommend this as a game, because the gameplay is barebones and the visuals are not mind-blowingly detailed on their own merits.”

- “The graphics are stunning, with a highly realistic recreation of the Titanic’s iconic bow and debris field.”
- “Lastly, I think there should be an option to change the screen resolution; I've had this issue where the game is not in full screen.

- “I would like better graphics as I have seen the scans that were done for the Titanic many times.”
- “I can't really recommend this as a game, because the gameplay is barebones and the visuals are not mind-blowingly detailed on their own merits.”

- “Another issue is the lack of any real graphical options; you just have medium, high, and ultra.”
