  Steer clear of this one unless you want to pay real money for game content which is already boring, dated and not a fun experience in any way. Cons: - in-game purchases gates content despite already paying $13 for the game. - Low budget dated graphics. - 30 second unskippable warning screen every time during launch. - "Early" access to a game that's been worked on since 2010 and is a chore to experience. - Extremely long loading times accompanied by obnoxious music, even on an SSD. - Bare bones options. A resolution and Quality setting. Nothing else. - Extremely unrealistic underwater movement breaks any possibility of immersion. - Only ONE map is included in the game price. PROS: - Steam's refund policy An early warning sign of the quality of this game is on the Early Access description section of the store page. [i]"“[b]Completing the in-game store is very high priority[/b]. Past that, we want to add new gear...."[/i] Yep. The developer's priority of In-game transactions is very clear. Want more scuba gear? Pay $2.50 of real money. Want suits, fins etc? Pay real money. Only one explorable area is included in the $12.99 asking price and the only other map I could see required in game currency to purchase. Upon purchasing the game on steam they actually do give you $5 worth of in-game currency (clams). Problem is, this will not buy you much of the game's content. They ask 200 clams for a wetsuit, 200 Clams for fins, knives, gear sets... After that they expect you to pay a further [u]$5 USD per 500 clams from their website[/u]. How about no, I've already paid you $13. If you are going have content gated behind in-game purchases then make the base game free. This is just distasteful. Even when ignoring the micro transactions, the game itself is bland to look at and not enjoyable, so I will be asking Steam to refund my "Clams". [i]Edit: A 30 minute timed demo is available on their website and on the Windows store. Something I wish I had known before I purchased.[/i]

  So far, I'm really enjoying this game. I've always wanted to SCUBA dive, but I've not been able to. This game is realistic enough to give me a small taste of what it might be like. It simulates important effects of depth such as nitrogen narcosis and the need for a safety stop after a deep dive. So far, the game includes two maps: Chuuk Lagoon and Belize. (The Belize map is 500 clams, but you start with that much at the beginning.) Chuuk Lagoon includes the wreck of the Gosei Maru, a Japanese ship that sank there in World War Two. Belize includes the Mesoamerican Reef. The player is given a list of "Things to Do" at each site, such as swimming to special areas, finding underwater caches, spotting different kinds of wildlife, finding artifacts, and, at Belize, cleaning up trash. I thought the activities were interesting, though some of the collections are very hard to complete. The swimming feels natural, though it took me some time to get used to using the camera independently of the swim direction. The player can hit "N" to orient oneself, but I wish that there was also a button to just reset the camera. Also, the "H" key gives help for the keys but doesn't mention the ballast vest controls, CTL and SPC. A player would have a tougher time playing without that information. A couple of nitpicks: The Belize map has water currents, but they seem to flow randomly and without a pattern. I could be mistaken, though. Also, a sudden surface from a very deep dive still counts as a "Successful dive" even though in real life it would cause decompression sickness. The game does have microtransactions, but except for extra maps (in the future) it all seems to be cosmetic. There doesn't seem to be a noticeable difference in how the extra gear works. While some people hate microtransactions on principle, I personally have no problem with buying extra content. For the price, I would recommend this. Edit: My remarks to another review were deleted by the reviewer, so to answer those points again here: "30 second unskippable warning screen every time during launch" and "Extremely long loading times accompanied by obnoxious music, even on an SSD." This is only the first time you play the game. The long loading time is because the maps are downloaded from the Internet when you first load it. The other reviewer must have just started the game a single time and then immediately deleted it. "Only ONE map is included in the game price." It comes with one map and 500 "clams," and then you can get the second one for 500 clams. I have two maps, and I didn't buy anything except the base game.

  Nothing infinite about it. Clunky, unintuivative controls make the game fursturating to play and difficult to enjoy. There are currently only two dive spots, and one of them is locked behind a pay wall, in addition to all the other micro transactions for things like diffrent types of scuba gear. There are a number of diver avatars to choose from, I just hope your a woman though, because there are no male avatars as far as i can tell. I'm a PADI certified rescue diver so I can definatly appreciate what they were going for, but this game needs much more polish and base content before it is actually released. If your looking for a decent scuba game on Steam, i'd recomend World of Diving. It's a perpetually half finished abandonware title, but it still has more to offer than Infinite Scuba.
