ABZÛ Game Review

ABZÛ is a beautifully designed game for the underwater adventurer. If you like short games that you’d prefer to go back and play within two hours, this is it! I was able to explore this last night and couldn’t stop playing!

When the game opens, you are introduced to a small diver in the middle of an open body of water. You experience how to control your character and quickly move to the next stage. The puzzles are quite easy, but are not the main focus of gameplay. Detail within the types of sea life and the beautiful soundtrack made this a relaxing gameplay. 

The game actually was released back in 2016, by Giant Squid Studios. According to their website: “The story of ABZÛ is a universal myth that resonates across cultures. The name references a concept from the oldest mythologies; it is the combination of the two ancient words AB, meaning ocean, and ZÛ, meaning to know. ABZÛ is the ocean of wisdom.”

The game is currently being offered on different platforms, so be sure to check out this beautifully designed game. Will definitely play again!

Sea of Thieves Trailer

Now this looks epic! I’ve always loved games that had good water graphics. From what I’ve seen, this game looks very promising with that. And with any sea adventure, there’s rumors or creatures to come. It’s a fairly new game that can be played with friends. Discover treasure, fight other pirates, take hold of your own ship, sing sad lullabies, and water out for sharks! Question is… how long can you hold your breath underwater???

AND…. the Kraken?? Is it coming? And when?!! There are recordings of strange “teaser” monster calls in the distance. So perhaps it’s sooner than we think. From only having seen a few pieces of it, this looks fairly promising.

Daily Concept: The Gillieel

 

The Gillieel, breathes on both land and water. Comes into the shallows to breed, and is the biggest threat to land animals, or humans, for that matter. Creature concept I came up with the other night. Pretty creepy.

So… anyone up for some fishing?
