ABZÛ
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.

4/5 stars
Absolutely gorgeous and a joy to behold, but sticks too close to Journey's formula for its own good.

88/100
There are few games quite as curious and beautiful as Abzû, and fewer of its kind on the PC. It’s a short, dense journey filled with intense wonder and inherent beauty, and every inch is worth seeing.

8/10
Abzu is quite simply a breath-taking piece of interactive art, that feels vivid and more alive than you’d imagine a video game was capable of being.

So good!
One of the most beautful things I have ever laid eyes upon. A piece of art. Story...? Almost non existent, but great destinations.

What could have been
I don't mind the brevity, the lack of danger/puzzles/complexity etc. But this could have been an actual journey and enigmatic discovery of mystical past with just a little bit of storytelling. We find out at one point that the character isn't a human (or rather a "baseline" human), but some kind of machine or a transhuman perhaps, presumably borne of or previously in league with the antagonistic machine entities. Why is she now trying to undo them and help the marine life? Did something happen to make her change sides? Was she created by the machines? Did she create them? How did they end up underwater, and why? What are the underwater ruins? Were they built by the same people as the machines or their ancestors? Are the machines even native to the planet? How about the dreamworld accessed by the portals, what's that all about? So many questions that could have been used to grip the player's intellectual curiosity amidst all the visual feasting. I tried to look at some of the wall murals to get some clues, but didn't find much. A bit of a background story fleshed out could have been easily incorporated in them for instance. Now we get just a little tease which makes 2001 look like Captain Obvious. Perhaps I'm missing the point - yes it's just supposed to be a relaxing experience rather than a proper game. But why put all those elements there then. Oh, and about the "clunky controls" - if you've ever snorkeled or dived they feel quite right actually. Your movements underwater aren't frantic or precise; I'd love that kind of freedom in fact! It's a gorgeous couple of hours, although by the end I was ready to surface. It's a good length for it as it is.

Underwater walking simulator
The game does not even have a volume option, not to mention proper resolution support. The controls of this game are obnoxious. I am played it with a controller, because of course mouse-control is garbage, turning with the controller is inaccurate. Playing the game made my hand hurt after a few minutes. The game is beautiful, if you like a magical but ultimately pointless and borderline unplayable game, buy it, otherwise avoid it like the pest!
