June: World Ocean Month

When was the last time you visited an aquarium or went snorkling in the ocean? For me it feels like an eternity. On June 8th it is World Ocean Day. Lets appreciate the world underwater with the World Ocean Month.

Lets play games with a water theme. So go ahead and play games that

Have underwater tag
Story takes place under or on water
Character can actually interact with the water (swim, use boat, dive, etc)

You can use the following (or similar) format to make it easier for me to keep track of everyone’s progress, but feel free to add any extra thoughts about the game(s) to your post!

name of game 2 | achievements obtained | playtime this month | unfinished/finished
name of game 3 | achievements obtained | playtime this month | unfinished/finished
TOTAL: | achievements obtained | playtime this month | Number of games finished

Have fun!

FAQ

Do I have to participate in this month’s theme?
No, as with every theme, these are merely suggestions for anyone who is unsure about what to play next. If you already have a battle plan for your backlog and/or don’t like this month’s theme, you’re free to ignore it.

What happens if I don’t participate in the monthly theme?
Nothing.

What happens if I play all of my unfinished games this month?
Your backlog will be a much smaller place.

I don’t have any unfinished games!
Really? well that makes one of us… I salute you.

I already finished my entry can I play another?
Go ahead - the goal is to reduce your unfinished games list. The more you can play the better.

Well, this is another opportunity to knock another game off of my “completionist downers” list, Hydrophobia: Prophecy. And I have a couple others I didn’t play the last time a similar theme came along. Or, I can activate my Subnautica key…

I don’t know how much time I’ll have, but omg, the last ocean-ish topic was one of my favourites ever. ( Partially because of the cool blue of the sea, and partially because of the games I have for the requirements)

Cece09

Didn’t think I was gonna do anything but actually a few spyro levels take place underwater
Damn so does Gender Bender, give these games those tags! Except the time wasn’t going up and I’m not about to put down wonky stats
Connected Hearts brings you to a sinking ship, ended up seeing the top of the boat with the ocean so good enough for me
Red bow just like connected hearts we end up on a boat
Crash left it to the last game but there are super annoying water levels
Beyond 2 souls has a whole chapter on moving around in the horrible dark water
Wasn’t actually gonna class endless fables 2 but we spend so much time drowning how could I ignore her pitiful death cries. Plus a kraken!

Relaxing exploring game, with beautiful graphics, where do you have to search for different items to health your brother. The world´s size is enjoyable as locate and take all the collectibles. The collectibles tell you the story as some cutscenes between items, Recommendable if you want to explore a nice world without problems.

Now is time to finish some pending challenge me, I will return next month for more

Greetings!

67 hours?! I’ve never played the game…is it that long, or have you really been “smelling the roses?” I was considering it for this month (I have an unredeemed key) but that sounds like a really big commitment (my game time is limited, especially now with Coronavirus).

the Traveler

It’s an open world survival game with a huge focus on exploration, so yeah been spending most of that time exploring. :) There is a story but I haven’t always doggedly followed the prompts.

Beautiful yet terrifying game, well worth a play! You don’t have to play it hardcore, the survival aspect is actually not too bad compared to other games in the genre. You spend nearly all of your time just looking around for interesting things or needed stuff for building new toys.

Trent

Thank you for the reply. I wish I could just push the Pause button on life, and immerse myself in a game like this. :)
