About
From the artistic mind behind Journey and Flower, ABZÛ is a beautiful underwater adventure that evokes the dream of diving. Immerse yourself in a vibrant ocean world full of mystery and bursting with color and life. Perform fluid acrobatics as the Diver, using graceful swimming controls. Discover hundreds of unique species based on real creatures and form a powerful connection with the abundant sea life. Interact with schools of thousands of fish that procedurally respond to you, each other, and predators. Linger in epic seascapes and explore aquatic ecosystems modeled with unprecedented detail. Descend into the heart of the ocean where ancient secrets lie forgotten. But beware, dangers lurk in the depths. "ABZÛ" is from the oldest mythologies; AB, meaning water, and ZÛ, meaning to know. ABZÛ is the ocean of wisdom.

Abzû is certainly a standout release on the eShop, offering up an experience that breaks from the norm of goal-based gaming in favour of something that’s more focused on simply existing in a world and enjoying all its little intricacies. Those of you who appreciate casual adventures like taking a walk in a forest will be sure to enjoy what Abzû has to offer, as the dreamlike visuals, entrancing orchestral score and deliberately sedate pace do a fantastic job of drawing the player into this alien world. We’d give Abzû a high recommendation to anybody looking for something a little more gentle for their Switch; it’s not a game about winning, but about the journey (no pun intended) you take getting there.

Abzu is a beautiful, peaceful game. For the most part, it's pretty relaxed; you could call it the diving equivalent of a walking simulator. Although it was designed with more powerful hardware in mind, it holds up reasonably well here on Nintendo Switch.
My only real gripe relates to the endgame, which got a bit confusing and frustrating for me, and somewhat spoiled the experience. That said, it's overall an enjoyable journey through an oceanic world, filled with great visuals and a nice art style that could be compared somewhat to Journey.
Players should also anticipate a fairly brief adventure. I completed Abzu in a single session, roughly three hours. The limited replay value may make this a tough call at full price.
