Abzu is an absolutely gorgeous game.

Had a beautiful, magical, and relaxing experience. There is some very interesting mystical, historical background to it. Won't say much as I won't want to spoil it for anyone. Just pay close attention to murals, names and sea creatures. You'll eventually find out.

If you haven't played Abzu, please do.

See steam store

Just played this myself the other day on a whim.
What a beautiful relaxing experience!

Well worth a play if you have a couple of hours to spare

Very nice idea! I don't own Abzu myself, but if you need more games to try out, you should listen to The Short Game podcast. They focus specfically on games that are under 10 hours for people that can't/don't want to play longer games. I know I get sick of uber long RPGs from time to time....:p

Can't wait to see the next one you'll think up!

I will be playing through tonight in one sitting once my wife falls asleep. I'll post my impressions once completed. Nice thread :)

Looking forward to it! :)

I beat the game yesterday, took me about an hour and twenty minutes.

I enjoyed it for the most part and it very much feels like a spiritual successor to Journey but something was missing. It has great visuals, beautiful environments and excellent use of colors. The movement feels pretty good but it didn't pull me in like Journey or relax me like Flower. I did get it through PlayStation Plus and it was definitely worth the time to play.

It's a good game but impossible to compete with the master piece that is Journey. I wouldn't recommend a purchase unless it's less than $5.
