You've made a wise decision.

First off, don't believe the lies people said about these not actually being games and having no point. That's just impatient adrenaline junkie spasm from folks who didn't play long enough to know what they were talking about. I loved both Endless Ocean games, and they both have their own strengths and weaknesses. I don't think I could choose either as my overall favorite.
Endless Ocean is a relaxing scuba diving exploration/adventure game. You have a big sea with lots of various locales to explore. Exploration is a BIG part of both games. You will spend a lot of time just filling in maps and finding new creatures and salvaging lost times. You can also take on odd jobs like being a scuba tour guide or building a huge aquarium of sea creatures. As you go along you start to unravel a mystery concerning a mythological beast. Once you solve that mystery you do in fact beat the game and see credits roll, but after that you can keep on playing. Despite being more relaxing than its sequel Blue World, I found Endless Ocean to be more frightening. By that, I mean when you go diving into the abyssal trenches. Also it has a lot more cave diving, and that can be pretty hairy at times. According to my HLTB, I spent 12 hours 30 minutes to finish Endless Ocean.
Endless Ocean: Blue World is also a scuba diving exploration/adventure game. However, it is much more game-y. You work with a team of scuba divers to fulfill missions for your company. The areas you explore are very detailed and more varied than Endless Ocean, however they are smaller in size. There are aggressive creatures in Blue World that can deplete your oxygen faster, and make you lose a mission by surfacing too soon. But you can not die in either game. Blue World has underwater temples to explore, some very large, that kind of serve as de facto dungeons. Also Blue World has some boss battles (in a way) that are pretty fun but not relaxing. Blue World has wayyy more things to do in it, as far as odd jobs and optional tasks... if you're a completionist this game will break you. Blue World has a deeper story than Endless Ocean, and yes you can beat it and see credits. You have your own house, plane, and boat in this game! According to my HLTB, I spent 18 hours 14 minutes to finish Endless Ocean: Blue World.
I tremendously enjoyed both games and can not think of a better summer time series to play. This is some awe inspiring, life affirming shit yo. Put on some bermuda shorts, pour a few tropical drinks, have some toasted coconut snacks, and enjoy a wonderful virtual vacation.
