I just played this for about 2 hours and even in “early access” this is one of the best experiences on the Oculus so far. Definitely needs polishing in places but diving and swimming around and inside sunken ships and swimming with dolphins and giant sea turtles is surreal. And if you love collectibles prepare to start picking up hundreds of treasures and random bits of garbage in an attempt to clean up the oceans. I had no idea the human race was so disgusting until I skimmed the ocean floor. And yes…you can pry open clams for collectible pearls. Game is on sale until July 5th so definitely check it out NOW!
