Ocean Rift

HOW DID HE KNOW?!

Looks nice but quite boring. I shouldn’t have paid for this

Lots of areas, lots of animals, information and the mixed reality aquarium is really fun.
My only complaint would be that some of the underwater flora can be a bit polygonal, hexagonal. Some of the animals have better detail, texturethan others.
But overall it’s a well done experience with a lot to look at.

Make another game called Land Rift which is the same as Ocean Rift but for Land. You could have a jungle where you can see jaguars, crocodiles, snakes, you could have a desert where you see scorpions, camels, you could have a spruce forest where you see foxes, rabbits, squirrels, birds, you could even have a city where you see humans, pigeons, rats, and best of all you could have an african Sahara where you see elephants, rhinos, leopards, bison, lions, cheetahs, hippos, ostriches. Please make this game🙏 I will definitely buy it

A far cry from what I was expecting, even though l knew from the start that the graphics wouldn't be the best. A massive let down for 10 euros. Uninstalled it within the first 10 mins.

iirc I reviewed the Quest 2 version of this app several years ago.
The Quest 3 version with its mixed reality capabilities is enough of a different beast that it deserves its own review imo.
This version is fantastic. The mixed reality abilities allows you to define viewing windows in your space where your walls are located. You can see the ocean animals and environments beyond these windows, giving the impression that your room has been turned into a personal aquarium.
The impression is sealed when something like a great white shark swims past one window and out of sight only to appear swimming past the window on another wall.
User tip 1: Make sure you set your boundary well beyond the limits of the windows. This will allow you to walk right up to the window and stare out.
User tip 2: Set up one window to overlay a doorway if you can. Then choose the option of a curved window. This will allow to not just walk right up to the window, but lean out and see what sorts of creatures are swimming just out of sight.
It's too bad that the headsets are too complicated and too large for young kids. I think they would be hugely entertained by this experience.
Suggestion for the devs: The idea of windows in walls is a concept that could be used in so many ways. For example, it would be nice to allow users to display ambient scenes other than the ocean beyond the windows. There is a hugely popular genre of youtube videos dubbed "relaxation" that are views of nature, skylines, traffic in rain, etc. as seen through a window.
For example, how about a view from a penthouse suite of a skyline at night, with traffic visible in the streets far below and light rain running across the window?
Or, a pastoral view of Montana-like setting with the occasional buffalo, mountains in the background, birds flying past, etc.
So many possibilities exist.
Throw in the ability of the user to add their own relaxing music and I think it would be a huge hit.
Let us briefly live and relax like the ultra-wealthy do for a fraction of the cost…
