5 best Nintendo Switch games about underwater exploration
Nintendo Switch is home to a wide and varied range of games. From hardcore AAA blockbusters to underrated indie gems, there's something for everyone on offer. But what about underwater exploration? Are there any titles that let you do that?
Most games out there usually see players exploring vast landscapes across different eras. Others see players occasionally taking to the skies via vehicular simulation or an animal. Underwater games are few and far between, with only a handful of devs tackling the mysteries of the endless oceans.
If you're a Switch user, the good news is that the console has a few impressive titles to offer in that regard.
Not many developers these days, with underwater games or otherwise, use the medium for educational purposes; perhaps Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed: Discovery Tour games count. E-Line Media's 2020 game, Beyond Blue, sees players explore the serene blue ocean as a marine scientist named Mirai; they will swim through the waters and marvel at the aquatic treasures on display.
Numerous creatures are waiting to be discovered. These include bottle-nose dolphins, sea turtles, and hammerhead sharks. Players will learn new information about fish and other creatures at varying levels of depth, with each animal displaying a unique swimming pattern and habitat.
There is no combat or threat to consider since the animals are not interactive. And this is certainly a more cinematic and realistic approach compared to other Nintendo Switch games on this list.
Plenty of games try to deliver a key message on a variety of topics. But not many games have something to say about environmental conservation. Koral, however, has much to say about protecting our planet's water.
