This game is currently in the Humble Choice for May 2024, and this is part of my coverage of the bundle. If you are interested in the game and it's before June 4th, 2024, consider picking up the game as part of the current monthly bundle.

I wish cleaning the ocean was this fun.

Loddlenauts is just a chill game. You swim in the ocean, blast away pollutants, clean up microplastics, and find Loddle, essentially a cute fish friend who you can help out. There’s a large world with sunken ships, large reefs, and interesting locations to find, as well as challenges and a ton of stuff to clean up.

However there’s not a lot of danger or challenge from what I have seen, it’s overall a pretty chill game. Even when I went the wrong way, the game pretty much says “Your goal is not that way, but go explore if you want”. The cleaning will be repetitive to some, but there are a lot of games like this that work in the same way. Think Powerwash simulator for something similar but this is far cuter.

Pick this up if you want to just enjoy swimming in the water or exploring the deep. This will work great with young children, but even adults need a game to unwind with. Not everything can be about shooting baddies, sometimes just picking up a little plastic and turning it into a new device you’ve been needing is what works, and that’s what Loddlenauts has.
