GameplanetBaz MacdonaldAug 201610/10If you aren't entranced by mechanically shallow games like Journey, don't bother. But if you find exploration titles even marginally interesting, Abzu is an absolute must-play – it's the most majestic one yet.

Press StartJames BerichAug 201610/10ABZÛ is exactly what it appears to be – it's a linear game that encourages players to dive into its deep waters and interact with nature.

IBTimes UKBen SkipperAug 20162/5 starsAbzu is well beautiful and well put-together, but cannot escape its self-inflicted sense of déjà vu. Matt Nava and Giant Squid Studios have played it safe. Too safe. There is an obvious artistry to Abzu however, that we can only hope is put to better use in whatever comes next.
