Pure NintendoMorgan TruderSep 20208/10Even the Ocean is a combination between a visual novel and platformer that tells a compelling story, while doing justice to both genres.

Otaku Gamers UKAug 20204/5 starsEven The Ocean is one of those titles you’ll either love or hate. It’s more of an experience than a game at times and that could be its detriment to some

Seafoam GamingConnor NicholsApr 20216/10Even the Ocean is a game I can commend for the sheer amount of accessibility options and being able to configure the game to pretty much any playstyle you like: whether you’re a reader, a player, a puzzler, a speedrunner, this game has the options to help make things a breeze, which is something I honestly wish more games in general would do.

Rapid Reviews UKGeorgina HowlettNov 20203/5 starsStarting a new job is never easy. But for Aliph, a freshly-qualified power plant technician, the pressure is taken to a whole other level when her colleague Cassidy is killed in a tragic accident on her first day. With her protective armour damaged beyond repair, and no working radio to call for help, she is forced to manually balance the light and dark energies of the world within herself and navigate through the dangerous Fay Rouge power plant alone in order to repair its circuits and restore its power to the city of Whiteforge.
