Description

From the art director of Journey® and Flower®, ABZÛ is a beautiful underwater adventure that evokes the dream of diving.

Immerse yourself in a vibrant ocean world full of mystery and bursting with color and life. Perform fluid acrobatics as the Diver using graceful swimming controls. Discover hundreds of unique species based on real creatures and form a powerful connection with the abundant sea life.

Interact with schools of thousands of fish that procedurally respond to you, each other, and predators. Linger in epic seascapes and explore aquatic ecosystems modeled with unprecedented detail.

Descend into the heart of the ocean where ancient secrets lie forgotten. But beware, dangers lurk in the depths. "ABZÛ" is from the oldest mythologies; AB, meaning water, and ZÛ, meaning to know. ABZÛ is the ocean of wisdom.

[h3] One of the most breathtaking cinematic story games ever made. [/h3] The plot is simple to follow, the game's magnificent cinematic re-creation of the oceans are stunning. It always felt like I was playing the game again for the first time after I finished playing it, even though I grew up watching gameplay videos of it ever since I was 7. (I've been watching this since the game came out) The lush hidden world

Its a game like no other. And I loved it. The atmosphere, the music and the gameplay. I felt free to do whatever I wanted, although being directed. Until the end I wrestled a bit with the up-down swimming on the keyboard. Reversing keys are there (nice!) but didn't really help. Maybe because there is a small delay because you're swimming. But overall very impressed by the devs making such a meditative wonder,

TL;DR - 8/10 - Recommended if you want to chill and relax while swimming with sea life in highly-stylized environments. Very light exploration. Very light hazards on one or two levels (that don't kill you). Very light emotional drama. Not a must play, but enjoyable enough. And now just a tiny bit more... IT'S AN EXPERIENCE GAME, NOT A GAMEPLAY GAME ABZÛ is one of those games that is designed to be a charming,
