Abzu is a relatively short experience that focuses more on exploring and admiring the beautifully crafted world around you than the gameplay itself. The ocean environments are really quite beautiful and it is wonderful to just watch the sea creatures swim around and interact with each other while you move through the game. I think there are some moments that place a little too much emphasis on the spectacle of the world as there is not a ton of variety after you experience the first couple chapters and the beauty ends up losing a bit of its luster. Otherwise this was a beautiful and relaxing little game, even if it left me wanting something more out of it.

I honestly don't even think it did the exploration part well since it kept pushing you to the next area.
