Endless Ocean Luminous, a follow-up to a series of scuba diving games on the Wii, is launching on the Nintendo Switch on May 2nd.

The best way to experience Endless Ocean Luminous is to just swim. A follow-up to a series of scuba diving games on the Wii, Luminous has a story to play through and goals to accomplish. But they’re fairly mundane. Instead, the game is at its most interesting — and relaxing — when you let go of specific goals and just explore for the sake of exploring. What makes Luminous so chill, at least when you’re going for a solo dive, is that it’s completely open-ended and devoid of roadblocks.

And while the graphics aren’t the most impressive thing — this is the Switch, after all, so expect fuzzy textures and jagged edges — the environments are still beautiful in their own way. And they do a good enough job to make certain moments feel startling; being surprised by a pod of dolphins or seeing a huge whale off in the distance slowly swim toward you are particularly gratifying. Now Luminous does try to layer on some more traditional game elements.
