72 from critics against 88 percent from players, and the player number comes from people who own the game.
9 of the 426 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written June 2020 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,725 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 711 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 71 percent of the 191 reviews written there were positive, against 88 percent overall, and those are 18 percent of everything written about it.
At 2.7 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.

What players say
Played the game with my daughter, she looooved it, and didnt get scared at all even during the abyss part.
beautiful and atmospheric game that immerses you in a different world, an ocean world.. Besides being relaxing you can also learn a lot about beautiful and rich sea life. If you are into marine biology, sea animals or you just want to relax this game is for you!
Beyond Blue is an ok ocean diving and animal scanning game, but it is also extremely boring, because there is nothing else to do in this game except for scanning and listening to monologues and dialogues. I beat the entire game in less than three hours and in my opinion it is simply too expensive for what it has to offer and so I'm flipping the thumbs down here, because I think that it is overrated. Only buy if...
