Each creature an aquatic replica of the real life, life, we have on earth today. Such densely packed schools of fish fill the screen with every turn. The colour popping visuals are astounding for their simplistic nature. There is a tone of relaxation as you listen to your paddling flippers and swishes in the water. The purpose and goal are not directly in view for a good portion of the runtime, you could spend minutes jumping from the water with dolphins at your side perfecting your roll into splash. The story kept me decently engaged throughout, wondering inside hidden caves, discovering new fish that I never even knew existed. Taking a more in-depth analysis of this world could take that playtime up to 4 hours therefore leaving it largely up to you. I finished this game in just over an hour and a half on my first playthrough, as a result you can easily knock this game out in a sitting or two. There are puzzles in this game, although I would not consider them puzzles, more of a "get the keys necessary to unlock said door" type situation. There is a storyline to be told, largely left to your imagination party to the lack of word. However from this comes simplicity, you don't know where you are going, simply onward. Not that there is anything wrong with that, for exploration. The manoverability options are somewhat limited and can appear dragging at certain points, just an A to B rout with no differing side paths to take. If you have a controller I recommend you use it. The gameplay can be tricky to navigate, from a third person perspective it is almost as if flying a plane. Taking place entirely underwater, as a beautifully atmospheric adventure. A game where you play as an unknown diver exploring the sea deep creatures and crevasses. Abzu is a gorgeous single-player game, one that I would recommend to a multitude of people.
