About
From the art director of 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.

played the entire game in a night before a test totally worth it
É definitivamente uma excelente experiência para quem quer relaxar após um dia estressante, ouvindo algo e, assim como eu, é um amante do mundo marítimo. Uma narrativa relativamente curta e satisfatória.
Beautiful game, fantastic osts and amazing lighting that makes Abzu magnificent
Everything in middle part is boring. Dull graphics and music, and the ending isn't that satisfying after such torture.
1st thing is 1st, if you like style and art this game is great. I was looking for something that my daughter could enjoy that I could play as well. This title has that. A story driven through experience and exploration. It is not that long of a game but I think it is worth every penny. If it is on sale it is a must buy.
mmmmmmm fish
Had a lot of fun with this one. Before playing ABZÛ, I already made myself familiar with Flower and Journey, so my expectations were quite high to say the least. And, thankfully the experience didn't disappoint. The gameplay is rather slow, but deliberate. But, for this style of atmospheric and visual story telling, this is a perfect fit! The only criticism I have, are that the controls are a bit hard getting used to. Its not a continuous control flow using a single control input, but a combination of steering and accelerating... Perhaps, and this is a bit far fetched, one may compare the controls to driving a car, in the sense of steering and accelerating independently. Moving on to the visuals... They are, as expected, completely outstanding. With a Steam Release Date of 2016, this game holds up perfectly well, and is now a member of my so-called atmospheric trinity (Flower, Journey and, now as well, ABZÛ).Plays rather slow, but deliberate. Also, the performance was immaculate. The narrative itself, as I already wrote above, is told using visual and atmospheric story telling. There are "glyphs" on ancient underwater structures, conveying a seemingly long-forgotten story of an ancient civilisation (...And, again, a big reminder of Journey). Just like the other games in the atmospheric trinity, nearly every aspect of the story told through the glyphs, the events you experience, along with everything else, is open to interpretation. Lastly, the longevity is guaranteed. It is, and with all honesty, an unforgettable gaming experience. Now, I think the game can be enjoyed multiple times, but, personally, I was quite content after collecting all of the secrets. This is not to be misunderstood as the game being tedious, because it isn't. It does, indeed, have a high replayability. Verdict: Must Buy / Fully worth the price
Игра очень понравилась хоть и коротенькая но атмосферная. Все эти рыбки и растения было офигенно плавать рядом с ними. Вообщем на один вечерок пойдет всем РЕКОМЕНДУЮ.
