I feel like most video games with a solid premise are able to overcome their technical limitations. There are some absolutely beautiful Wii and Wii U games despite the limited tech. Silent Hill is arguably better because of its fog that was added in to avoid having to load large environments.* But Endless Ocean just doesn't work with the Wii tech.

I'm all for exploration games. I like Abzu quite a bit. For the unfamiliar, Abzu is a stylish Endless Ocean with a plot. I wish that game was just looking at cool fish like Endless Ocean. The puzzles are the worst bit of Abzu.

I think this game would be pretty solid today on PSVR. You could use to move controllers to swim, or even just the controller. Looking around at oceans full of aquatic animals could be spectacular. But as is, Endless Ocean is ugly, barren, and clunky. Give it another try on better tech.

*This is a Grouvee review. I'm not going to look up the actual tech term. Is it draw distance? We'll never know because we'll never look it up and no one will comment with the answer.
