swimming with the whales was a breathtaking moment and i wish we had more of that kind of thing! the game's beauty and atmosphere are its strong points, and i would've loved to see it take more advantage of that.

adding more interactions with our ocean brethren, be it via more cutscenes such as that one or by implementing extra gameplay mechanics, would've really helped to make our little swimmer feel more like they're attuned to the ocean rather than just an observer. getting to wreak havoc on the evil triangles at the end was so satisfying, but it could've been so compelling, too, y'know? it could've been more emotional had there been more unique moments with our fish friends that characterised them, or fostered a real connection. we could've had our cake and eaten it!
