    🐬❤️Lovely cetacean and dark shark symbol 🦈💀 Hmm, I'm hoping there'll be a good plot twist! I always recommend ABZU to everyone who asks me which game breaks the paradigm with the image of sharks, so I hope I can recommend this one too! 🦈✨ I'm looking forward to it anyway!

    My most anticipated game: Sword of the Sea from @giantsquidstudios.com Journey changed my life the first time I played it. I went on to play ABZU and The Pathless and I cannot stress how incredible these games are, from the stories and visuals to the score composed by Austin Wintory. Play them! 💜

    Sword of the Sea slaps. Great iteration on Abzu, recapturing that game’s unmatched vibe while bringing in the year’s most pleasurable traversal. A grand return to the “wordless abstract game that is not so subtly about climate change” sub genre.

    Game rec because it’s on my mind: Abzu. Feels like maybe it flies under the radar a bit because Journey was such a big deal, but I love Abzu. I can’t listen to the soundtrack without crying. I don’t know what to say, I had a very strong emotional response to it.

    There are times when I heavily consider getting into game design simply because there is no reason why we shouldn't have more games where you play as sea mammals in this day and age! I refuse to play Subnautica or Abzu because you don't play as a dolphin or an otter. 😤
