Apparently PS3 is considered retro now so I hope this post is allowed. I’m liking the game so far even though it’s a blurry mess.

In a time when water levels universally sucked, it was a bold move to make the entire game a water level. I remember enjoying it too, never did complete it tho.

I’m enjoying it so far. The water effects still hold up in my opnion. It was a game too ahead of it’s time I guess. I’m surprised the game isn’t talked about much. The lack of a physical release probably had at least something to do with it.
Funny enough, the first game I completed as an adult was Resident Evil: Revelations, a game which takes place mostly on a boat. Would definitly reccomend if you like scary games. It came out on the 3DS and it’s amazing they got the game on such a low power device. I’d still opt for any other port though.

The game isn’t really anything special, but the water physics are very neat. It’s also on PC, where you can play it in 4k (gameplay and story is still shallow there as well though)

I tried playing it on my Linux PC and I couldn’t get it to work. Sometimes older games can be problematic to get working. People have done it but I sadly couldn’t replicate their success.

I remember it being pretty good. I played it with the dodgy controls before they released a huge overhaul patch to fix loads of issues but haven’t been back to it since.

It was supposed to be a trilogy too.
