They’re really nice looking games…but… I prefer Monster Hunter Stories 2’s graphics. Monster Hunter Stories 2 is cel-shaded with a very animated/anime look to it. Fans of Pokémon might think…

Most of the time though, underwater experiences are only part of a game and not the whole concept. Shinseki: Into the Depths is a 2D Metroidvania that takes place completely underwater.
