First off, this is inspired by this thread: https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/cSW9i/water-analysis-reviewing-water-in-games-since-5pm and the fabulous Screen Archer's Guild!
As Poopman hasn't been online in a year, I doubt he'll mind my taking his idea and running with it. I was searching the SG Discord for it, without much luck. Rusty found that thread and told me I might as well make a group. So, here goes. Credit to him, Poopman, & SAG for the ideas, thanks to you all for the pictures!

The Group Link Yes, the name is awkward, but all of the good names/abbreviations combos were taken (at least the ones I could think of). So, PoBWiG it is.

If you are a fan of water in games--physics, graphics, the tossing (and turning? 😀) of the waves, the rain drops, etc, please check this group out. It is certainly a community effort. Nothing fancy, no rewards or awards, just a (hopefully) friendly group of people sharing pictures of games in which they enjoyed the looks or action of the water. Some love the calm, others love the spray of waterfalls or waves, still others love the reflections, or how a boat responds in the water. The group is open to all. No requirements or giveaways expected.

Please list games you own, have played, or have watched where you have enjoyed or been impressed with the water graphics or physics. Feel free to upload screenshots of these games!

Again, the only rules are 1) that you enjoyed the looks or physics of the water 2) No NSFW content allowed. 3) Please be nice to each other.

Thank you!!

I have zero intention to be a curator. If this changes (incredibly unlikely), I'll delete this line. 😂

The first two posts contains the lists here (so far), with other lists on Steam

I think Beyond Blue deserves at least an honorable mention.
