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.

20min of ABZÛ sucked 20% of my steam deck battery, has miserable 3D controls, and made me motion sick. Will not be finishing that one. It's a swimming simulator with no story or goals. I didn't enjoy any of the actual gameplay, if one can call it a game.
Not really a game, basically just watching an underwater movie
ABZÛ me fez redescobrir o prazer de jogar. Do começo ao fim, o jogo me transmitiu uma sensação constante de paz e conforto. Em um momento em que tudo o que eu precisava era desacelerar, ele entregou exatamente isso: uma experiência serena, contemplativa e acolhedora. É um jogo simples e curto, mas com uma profundidade que permanece. Não precisa de dezenas de horas ou mecânicas complexas para marcar quem o joga, e era exatamente desse tipo de experiência que eu estava sentindo falta. Sua beleza está justamente na simplicidade e na forma como consegue emocionar sem dizer nada. Depois de uma semana cansativa, tudo o que eu queria era uma experiência como essa. ABZÛ me lembrou que videogames também podem ser um refúgio — um lugar para respirar, relaxar e simplesmente apreciar a jornada. E, de certa forma, me fez voltar a ter vontade de jogar.
小时候在籽岷那看到的,当时深海迷航还叫美丽水世界,我以为再也见不到这个游戏了 画质给8分 键盘操作扣一分 PS:没有手柄的人先考虑一下,键盘操作十分难受
挺美的,深海区会触发巨物恐惧症
Abzu - медитативное подводное приключение (2016 год). Сюжет: безымянный дайвер исследует океан, раскрывает тайны древней цивилизации и постигает связь всего живого - история подаётся без слов, через образы и атмосферу. Особенности: - живописный подводный мир в стиле «стилизованного реализма»; - плавное управление персонажем, способным свободно перемещаться на любых глубинах; - наблюдение за реалистично анимированной фауной (от мелких рыб до китов); - простые головоломки для продвижения по сюжету; - режим «медитации» - возможность наблюдать за обитателями и узнавать их названия; - сбор коллекционных предметов (ракушки, освобождение существ из бассейнов); - атмосферный саундтрек Остина Уинтори (автор музыки к Journey). Коротко: короткое (2-3 часа), красивое и успокаивающее путешествие по океану - игра‑впечатление о гармонии природы.
relaxante, muito bom, recomendo
I picked this game originally because I was so terrified of water life in Subnautica that I wanted a relaxing swim with the fish and not from them. On a serious note, I finished the game in one sitting without even realizing that 4 hours past (you can finish it significantly quicker). I just really liked looking at all the fishes and searching how they look in real life. Perfect if you want to have a relaxing swim because there are genuinely not a lot of games where fish doesn't want to bite your head off, the music is gorgeous, and each biome is mesmerizing. 10/10 will definitely come back to just swim around. 100% - not hard, you will need to get all the collectibles, but there is a chapter selector at the end, so you will be able to come back and get everything if you missed any.
Abzu isn't a game - it's an experience. Rather short, but incredibly beautiful. As someone who isn't a massive fan of the ocean, or deep water for that matter, I found this game to be calming and fun, to ride huge sea creatures and leap out the water with Orcas and Whales. I originally thought this game to be an open-world simulator where you swim freely alongside many different creatures, but was pleasantly surprised to find a story. That's not to say the game is restrictive about where you go - you're allowed to freely explore every environment you find yourself in. Was really impressed with the visuals and physics, especially the swimming animation of the diver. Plus, it's educational :D
