How it feels
Swimming through a serene, vividly colored underwater world feels like a graceful, dreamlike meditation.

What players say
Players say ABZÛ is a short, meditative swimming experience with gorgeous visuals and a wordless story. Many compare it to Journey. The main complaint is the controls, which feel awkward especially with a controller. There are no enemies or challenges, just peaceful ocean exploration.
