Sword of the Sea

I cannot express the absolute joy this game made me feel. If I could choose any game to go back and play for the first time again, this would be it. The gameplay was smooth, the music beautiful. The animals were so cool to see and save. Plus the areas were stunningly beautiful, and I'd often spend more time than necessary in one area just exploring and playing on the landscape. The easter eggs were a fun surprise too. I cannot express the emotions this game made me feel, the absolute joy and wonder that came with every new area and every biome unlocked. I cried because this game was so beautiful. It was so much fun freeing the demigods and being apart of bringing their homes back. And the final boss? Oh she was incredible. The battle was challenging, but you knew what was at stake, so you pressed on no matter what. Getting the achievement for her was difficult, but it was well worth it. The lore was so much fun to learn and speculate, there were so many twists and turns in the story. Absolutely amazing. Easy 100/10 for me. I cannot wait for the next game to come out so I can enjoy that too.

Sword of the Sea — Sirius Gaming Review ★★★★★ 10/10 Reviewed by Sirius Gaming Affiliated with Paws 2 Da Wall (P2DW) There are games that entertain you, games that challenge you, and then there are games that leave you genuinely captivated by the experience. Sword of the Sea is firmly in that third category. From the moment you begin your journey, Sword of the Sea delivers an experience that feels less like simply playing a video game and more like stepping into a living work of art. Its breathtaking environments, fluid movement, atmospheric soundtrack, and beautifully crafted world come together to create something truly special. The movement is one of the game's greatest strengths. Gliding effortlessly across sand, water, and expansive landscapes creates an incredible sense of freedom and momentum. There is a satisfying rhythm to exploration that makes simply moving through the world enjoyable in its own right. Visually, Sword of the Sea is stunning. Every environment feels thoughtfully designed, with enormous landscapes that encourage you to stop, look around, and appreciate the world you're traveling through. The contrast between the desolation of the environment and the life that gradually emerges throughout the journey creates a powerful sense of discovery. But what makes Sword of the Sea particularly memorable is its ability to communicate without constantly relying on dialogue or exposition. The world itself tells a story. The environments, architecture, music, and progression all contribute to an experience that feels mysterious, emotional, and deeply atmospheric. The soundtrack deserves special recognition as well. It complements the exploration beautifully without overwhelming it, helping establish the game's sense of scale and wonder. This isn't a game designed around endless combat, complicated progression systems, or competitive mechanics. Instead, Sword of the Sea focuses on exploration, movement, atmosphere, and the emotional experience of the journey. And sometimes, that's exactly what gaming needs. Final Verdict Sword of the Sea is an extraordinary example of how video games can function as an artistic medium. It is beautiful, atmospheric, immersive, and remarkably satisfying to play. For players who appreciate exploration, visual storytelling, breathtaking environments, and experiences that allow you to simply lose yourself in a world, this is an easy recommendation. Sirius Gaming Score: 10/10 An absolutely unforgettable journey — and one we're proud to recommend from Sirius Gaming and P2DW.

Out of the three games that Giant Squid has made, I think this is the best so far. The game is visually and artistically pretty, with the sun reflecting on the sand, surfing with orcas in a resurrected ocean, or looking at ruins under the water. The soundtrack is pretty relaxing, which I vibe with Unpredictable and Joyous. What I'm upset about is that despite the game being visually pretty, it does lead to some FPS problems in some levels. I was a little upset when I had to notch my graphics from Ultra (standard graphics setting for me) to medium. I'd say it's better than Abzu and The Pathless mainly because it's faster-paced than Abzu, which is mainly my preference. Compared to The Pathless, it's more lively and I'm not getting harassed by a region boss for a stealth minigame every 7 minutes while running around a forest, compared to just surfing and vibing to the desert sand and revived ocean.

Extremely beautiful, great soundtrack, kinda sky: children of light in play but far better imo.

bom joguinho. ele eh curto, mas bem feito, jogo bem mais chill. poderia ser mais otimizado talvez, no steam deck nao roda tao bem, entao o ideal eh jogar no pc por conta disso. porem a arte e a gameplay sao excelente.

This game is BEAUTIFUL, sure it's short but I really love the skate mechanics and it's a restore the world game (which I will always craze) If you want a great looking emotional game, this is for you.
