There are shoals of ten thousand fish that dynamically interact. Seascapes and oceanic ecosystems have been rendered with unprecedented detail and every space is unique and holds its own mysteries.

I regret that I am here bringing you this news when it’s much too late to get the game for free, but now that I’ve experience it, I’d say that it’s absolutely worth the $20 admission, and when developer Giant Squid releases another game someday, I know I’ll be rushing to buy it on day one. ABZÛ is an adventure, exploration game where you are The Diver in a beautiful, vibrant ocean world full of mystery and bursting with color and life.

The levels in Abzu are nothing short of virtually living, breathing masterpieces. But Abzu, Giant Squid’s new game for the PC and PS4, frames the ocean’s unknown depths as a place of life, beauty, and discovery. There’s been a lot of talk about games as art lately, and I would definitely call this game one of the strongest arguments for games being art. I’ve never seen anything quite like this in a game. I have to confess, some areas were so unbelievably beautiful that it literally almost brought a little tear to my eye. The visual design is best described as having the relaxing flow of Journey, splattered with the amazing, vivid colors of The Witness, and then taken a step beyond both of them with the truly impressive amount of beautifully animated sea creatures populating each environment. I know that this isn’t something that everyone has the option of doing yet, but this is a game that benefits from 4K and HDR like no other. Not only do screenshots do it justice, but even video doesn’t really capture the full beauty of this world. I think it’s something that has to be seen in its full glory to really have the same impact.

I ended up trying it out recently when I had a few hours to kill between longer games, half-expecting that it would just end up deleted and forgotten like the majority of the free monthly games offered. The soundtrack for the game is something that needs to be heard and seen in context to truly be appreciated, but it is good enough to give it a listen separately.

WoI grabbed this when it was one of the free PS Plus games a month or two ago, not really expecting much, but hey free is free. Abzu is a beautiful experience, and the visuals are some of the best I have seen all year.
