Endless Ocean Luminous is an underwater adventure game about peaceful scuba diving exploration. Like the original Endless Ocean game on the Wii, you explore the seas to find creatures and score points. It stands out for how enjoyable it is to just swim around the underwater landscape that changes with every dive, either on your own or with lots of other players online.

Our accessibility examiner, Andy Robertson, first checked Endless Ocean Luminous accessibility 4 weeks ago.

NotesAccessibility Notes

There is no motion aiming in this game, unlike the previous games in the series.

There is a map and minimap. A circle on the minimap glows yellow if you are facing the direction of some nearby treasure. Also, treasures emit sparkles that indicate their presence - although these can be hard to see.
