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.

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!

Buyer beware

YouTube footage made me see how beautiful this game looks, and looks alone were enough to make me interested in this game. I was watching both trailer and gameplay footages, and fell in love with it. Both video footage and screenshots made the game look like a piece of art. The gameplay seemed very basic, and the game itself looked like an adventure, where you explore the depths, and feel no pressure at all. No challenges, no objectives, nothing, just enjoy the game. I eagerly purchased it few days after it was released on Gog. Unfortunately, after the installation the game simply did not respond when I attempted to run it. Gog support was unable to solve the issue, this is up to developer, not Gog team. Before you jump into any conclusion my pc is able to run titles like Grand Theft Auto V, Metro 2033 (Redux), Metro - Last Light (Redux), Grim Dawn and Shadow Warrior 2, on 1080p, with respectable amount of details, depending on the game per se. Check out my pc specification before you decide to purchase: Operating system: Windows 7 64bit Processor: Intel i7 4790 Quad core 3,6 GHz Graphics card: Nvidia GTX 750ti 4GB Motherboard: Gigabyte Z97P-D3 RAM: 16 GB Directx 11 All Microsoft Visual C++ packages installed.
