In 2010, Eurogamer Portugal reviewed the game Endless Ocean 2: Adventures of the Deep for the Nintendo Wii. Developed by Arika, the game offers a contemplative diving experience without the intent of capturing species. Endless Ocean Luminous continues the exploration with a fictional maritime world and over 500 species to discover. The game is divided into a narrative segment, individual dives, and online multiplayer with a maximum of 30 players.
Shared dives in Endless Ocean Luminous allow players to explore the ocean together, encountering dangerous creatures like sharks without the risk of attack. The multiplayer option offers a communal experience, allowing players to share creatures and discoveries to quickly rise in the exploration ranking. However, the lack of public rooms limits the interaction between players during joint dives.
Endless Ocean Luminous renews maritime exploration with solo or joint dives. Discover the depths of the oceans, cataloging marine species and enjoying the environment. Features include surprises, treasure hunting, and a tag system. Challenges include lack of difficulty and constraints on narrative progression.
