Relaxing with #ABZU on the Switch tonight, always a memorable experience to play through 💆🏻‍♂️🎮

#Gaming #Photography

I finished #SwordOfTheSea last night.

Nice little 'one of those' type games that fits in well alongside the studios other works in #ABZU and #ThePathless.

It's a beautiful game to look at for sure, and the soundtrack is really something.

At the same time, I found the comparisons to #Journey to be a little skin-deep.

Yes it's got a desert. Yes it's got a little person that floats around said desert and yes, it's got a super chill vibe with beautiful scenery and a nice soundtrack....

But it didn't land with nearly as much weight.

That's not to say it's bad. It isn't. It's just lacking that social aspect that made Journey such a revelation a decade or so ago (fuck me, time eh?)

#TIL #BronzeAge #gods included #Abzu the #FreshWater source of #Life. #Sumerians circa 1100bc believed Abzu was the font of existence. The #environment was all they had. They revered it.

Today's mood / vibe is the beautiful, hauntingly-emotive soundtrack to Abzû.

https://youtu.be/mCL0jRV_xb4?si=9GucKCSZ83B1-hKj

#Abzû #soundtrack

This is a good weekend to spend listening to #AustinWintory and eating crunchy-peanut-butter-and-chocolate-frosting-on-toast sandwiches.

Bonus points for turning the #music up really, really loud.
Start with #ABZU. thank me later.

ABZÛ
5 из 10

Плюсы:
Арт дизайн, саунд дизайн, оптимизация под свич.

Минусы:
- Вода не ощущается водой;
- Много непропускаемых повторений сцены где ты плывешь прямо в одной и той же локации;
- Clunky controls;
- Примитивные пазлы по типу "press X to win".

Больше похоже на технодемку, чем на цельную историю. Игра точно не стоит фуллпрайс. И я даже пожалел о трате 7$ (сейчас скидки).

Игра от создателей Journey, вот только Journey сильно лучше.

Desde que terminé #Abzu he tenido ganas de jugar otra aventura de buceo y esta me ha parecido la ideal. Es como el ya mencionado, pero con una historia algo menos críptica por lo que parece (aunque no por ello fácil) y una ambientación más inquietante.

Ik heb veel mooie games gespeeld. #Journey, #Abzu, #Rime, #ICO. Maar ik speel #GRIS echt met open mond. Wat een kunstwerk!

I'm currently listening to the Abzu soundtrack.

The countdown to me crying as I get to specific parts of the album has begun 🙃

Just wrapped up "Jumping for Joy" by Chris Scullion, and thoroughly enjoyed it!

Was a blast to relive some of my favourite platformers through the pages, and a firm reminder of all the amazing ones that are still sitting in my backlog.

Amazing job, Chris!
