Flower, Journey, and now Abzu. Picked this up during a boxing day sale and I’m
not exactly sure why. I’d heard about it
quite a bit last year, perhaps it was just name recognition, but I usually don’t
care for these types of games … this one was different though. After coming off Doom I was looking for a palette
cleanser before jumping into Dead Space 2, this game fit the bill
perfectly. Abzu’s been described as “Journey
under water” and while I can agree with that from a gameplay perspective, the
graphics and tone of this game are much nicer to look at. It has a wonderful symphonic soundtrack is
quite simply a masterpiece in presentation.
The gameplay is, well, what it is, it’s more of an experience than a game.
There was zero challenge, I may have had 1 or 2 head scratches but they
were quickly resolved (I was over thinking) and before I knew it I was swimming
along again in this beautiful ocean in all its splendour. I
enjoyed my time with ABZU and will play it again, it's even made me consider giving Journey another run. Recommend.
