R arely have we so enjoyed being held back. Ismael Rodriguez’s underwater romp sends an intrepid diver on a 90-minute, four-chapter adventure to the bottom of the sea to retrieve a quartet of artefacts. Their desire to explore is naturally limited by their air supply, though beneath the surface you’ll find more oxygen tanks to which you can attach that snaking cable. It’s when you begin to stretch your legs that the fun really begins. Ordinarily, you can’t jump very high, but wrap that tether around a rock or two and pull it taut, and when you push off from the ocean floor you’ll swing upward at a rate of knots, bringing you within range of more O2, and whatever discoveries await in the next area.
