Dolphin Spirit: Ocean Mission Reviews

This is a little hidden gem of a cosy game. It really reminds me of Alba: Wildlife Adventure but much longer gameplay, and we save the island from weather and things that affect the ocean life, wherea on the Alba, you save the nature reserve from the big corportion! If you love Alba: Wildlife Adventure and are looking to scratch the itch of Alba, then this is the game for you! I really enjoy photographing and collecting things, and leaving no stone unturned, search every nook and crannies, there are a lot of collectible activity in the game, and you get to meet cute animals and learn about the marine life, and you get to scuba dive down the ocean! I want to give ya all a head up - on the main menu, the game said the game is best played with controller, which is great for me cus I'm avid controller player, but for those with keyboard and mouse, this game may not be for you. I recommend this game to: Cosy gamers, collectathon gamers, photographing gamers, and gamers that are interested in marine/ocean life.

Criticisms first: A tad cluncky, especially when playing with a keyboard. May be better on a Nintendo switch since it's designed to be played with a controller? The map of the island feels kinda small but that makes sense since you're meant to spend most of your time under water. I also found the "dark" underwater areas difficult to navigate but that's one of the last things you have to do in the story before free play so it's not that bad. I do recommend waiting until this game is on sale given the quality of the mechanics and the amount of story you get. Other than that stuff, the settings look really pretty and there is some decent environmental messaging even if it is kinda surface level info. My biggest recommendation is to avoid side quests, trash and taking pics of animals until you're done with the story mode so you have stuff to do during free play.
