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.

いや~良いゲームでした。 二時間弱でクリアととても短いゲームで、2000円で二時間は短いんじゃないかと思う方もいるかもしれませんが、このゲームにはその価値があります。この体験は深く記憶に残り続けるでしょう。 ゲーム性は薄く芸術作品に近いようなゲームで、操作に少しクセがありますが、それ以上の感動によってそんな細かいことは気にならなくなります。要求スペックについても10年近い前のゲームなので最高設定で100FPS安定と不満は特にありません。 レビューを読みながら迷っているのであれば一刻も早くプレイして欲しいです。後悔はしませんから。
I cannot speak highly enough about ABZU. I first played this game way back when it released in 2016. I had just come back to gaming after falling away from it for about 10 years, and was experiencing moving art. This game helped to expand my thoughts on what games can be, and what I want to gain from them. There are no enemies ABZU, at least not in the traditional video game meaning of the word. You cannot die, you don't even have a healthbar or any form of combat. The game is all about exploration, telling a story, and bringing abundant, vibrant life back to the oceans of the mysterious world you inhabit. The narrative comes through environmental story-telling, and has a message to deliver, culminating in beautiful moment of restoration. The artstlye is gorgeous, and the OST (composed by none other than Austin Wintory) has stuck with me for a decade now. I highly recommend this game for anyone looking for a chill 4 - 6 hour journey that will leave you feeling a bit pensive.
Un jeu à l’ambiance très apaisante, qui nous plonge dans un univers aquatique aussi simple que magnifique. Les graphismes ne sont pas ultra détaillés, mais la direction artistique est vraiment réussie et arrive facilement à nous séduire. On prend plaisir à explorer les fonds marins, observer les créatures et se laisser porter par l’ambiance. Le jeu se démarque surtout par son côté relaxant. C’est une expérience calme, presque contemplative, où l’on avance à son rythme en profitant des paysages aquatique et de la musique, qui accompagne parfaitement l’aventure. En revanche, le gameplay reste assez limité et peu varié. Les actions sont répétitives et ne se renouvellent pas vraiment au fil du jeu. Les contrôles peuvent aussi manquer de fluidité par moments, ce qui peut rendre certaines séquences un peu frustrantes. Le jeu est assez court (environ 2 heures), mais ça reste suffisant pour profiter de l’expérience sans avoir le temps de se lasser. En résumé, un jeu à faire pour son ambiance et sa beauté, plus que pour son gameplay. Une petite parenthèse relaxante, imparfaite mais agréable.
画面美 音乐美 但操作手感不美。
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.
basicamente uma crítica ao capitalismo
[b] 🏆 9/10 [/b] 智慧之海, 体验非常惊艳!画面堪称极致,这才是真正地每一帧都是壁纸。玩法轻松舒适,重点是海底世界极具魅力,各类海洋生物灵动又治愈,我是真的喜欢这种海底世界。成就设计也很友好,全程玩下来沉浸感十足,妥妥的满分佳作! 通关之后可以选择冥想点观赏各种海底生物!
В отличие от Journey действительно визуальный и аудио шедевр. Вау эффект даже в 2026 году.
Как архитектор скажу - это великолепно. Как уставший человек - мне полегчало. Как любитель приключений - было интересно. Рекомендую всем!
It's so soothing. The atmosphere it brings is full of life and colours, and the art direction is marvelous. You go for a dive in a vibrant ocean, discovering the animals within ecosystems and following a shark throughout the story. It's a short yet worthwhile game for anyone.
