Line 90:
* The submerged areas in the [[Metroid Prime]] series are a somewhat interesting case. They do have some nice puzzles and you do get an upgrade that takes away the mobility reduction, but they suffer from reduced coloring and visibility. This was not helped at all in Prime 2 by having [[That One Boss]] and several [[Demonic Spider|DemonicSpiders]] in there. Prime 3 just removed water altogether.
* If you get a submarine in a [[Final Fantasy]] game you can explore the entire bottom of the sea but there will be only a single dungeon and maybe one or two secret treasures on the entire worldmap. in ''[[Final Fantasy X]]'' you don't even get the benefit of the sub.
* ''[[Minecraft]]'' varies depending on the player, though generally leans more towards a straight example rather than an aversion. While it is possible to create an epic underwater base and ruins, for the most part it fits this trope perfectly, with only [[Everything's Squishier with Cephalopods|one unique mob]] and no ocean-exclusive blocks.

* The ocean is really just an obstacle in ''[[Civilization]]''. Aside from some seafood, there are no resources all the way until the Industrial Era (when you can build oil platforms), and it takes massive amounts of time to earn the necessary techs to ''cross'' it. Navies mean very little on almost every map type. Most civilizations only care about the ocean in terms of getting land units across it and onto the next continent as soon as possible.
