Summary

Abzu is an exploration game where you are a lone diver in a lush ocean world. The diver descends deeper and deeper into the depths, where she will encounter majestic creatures, discover ancient secrets, and search for her true purpose. Abzu roughly translates to "The Ocean of Wisdom" from ancient Sumerian.

I havent been this mesmerised by a game in honestly a very long time. I walked in blind and i didnt exlect such Beautiful art. Everything about this game is pure perfection. This was a ps4/xbox one era game and I can't believe such a level of Amazing graphics. You honestly get to do so much on this game, besides swimming and jumping to the surface you also get to Ride fish.😍

I can't even say anything more honestly it's so hard to describe perfection. I just Love vibes. The game has such Great colours that are always ever changing. It likes to Pay attention to detail like when you're swimming near the ground it will leave a mini sand cloud left behind. You also get to Swim with whales and orcas which were also beautifully designed.

I honestly didn't even expect any death in this game and when a certain shark dies it feels so raw and emotional you just genuinely feel for that shark as the light escapes his eyes. And it also has a fantastic and also equally emotional conclusion.

If I have to give a minor critique I'd honestly pull something of like an undercover GTA where maybe in some areas that could be considered dangerous, Maybe have sharks chasing you. And you can do a hide and seek chase with them. Idk it would feel interesting.

If you haven't played it What you waiting for. This is every pescatarian's wet dream!😭

Finished in one sitting. A chill game to get lost to with its visuals and soundtrack. Kinda wish there's more to do because it's such a beautiful world but I feel satisfied with it already.

Beautiful visuals, beautiful soundtrack. As long as you don't expect anything else than walking (swimming) simulator with those qualities you definitely won't be disappointed.
