I wanted to look up the meaning behind this game before reviewing it, because nothing really landed with me.
I can say that after understanding the lore and story of Abzu, I really don’t see anything special about it. You are (possibly) an alien going around guiding a great white shark to restore ocean life. Alright, fair enough. At least visually, it’s a - RANDOM SHARK JUMPSCARE - beautiful looking game with a mesmerizing soundtrack, full of colorful life and dreadful obstacles.
I’m just left disappointed because I know how beloved Journey is, and there’s not really anything here to dislike. But, it doesn’t seem significant in the slightest, and nothing seems important. It’s just a good looking, relaxing game, and there’s nothing wrong with that. 5/10.
