Mirai and her small team are armed with some swish toys and gadgets enabling them to get closer than ever before and interact with marine life in ways previously impossible. We follow the exploits of Mirai who is the diver with a newly formed research team, some time in the near future. Instead this is a much more tranquil experience. No survival horror, no hiding, fighting, weapons, or peril of any description.

The BBC might not be able to give us a decent Dr.Who lately but they can still smash out a good documentary like the Blue Planet series, the second of which features in Beyond Blue, a game that aims to give you a little taste of being a diver and deep-sea explorer, while teaching a little along the way.īefore we dive any deeper (no apology offered for puns, you know I can’t help myself) into Beyond Blue it should be explained that this isn’t a game so much and leans more towards the “Interactive Experience” side of things. As for the rest of us, we’ve all kept our fascination with the ocean fed over the years by following the exploits of one Jacques-Yves Cousteau, reading works by experts of the subject, or at the very least we have by now all seen some of the amazing documentaries available. We’ve all been or at least met that person but perhaps unfortunately, not many will go on to actually work in that field and for those few who do make it a reality, thanks for the work you do. At some point or another in life it seems like just about everyone wants to be a marine biologist.
