60 of 85 · most liked first🐬❤️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!

unlabelledView post →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! 💜

unlabelledView post →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.

unlabelledView post →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.
unlabelledView post →🚨 PSA: Abzu may just be the most beautiful game I have ever played! If you haven't tried it, you're missing out. Mad at myself for not playing sooner 🤤

Kids and wife are asleep, all the light off playing Abzu on the switch 2 docked on the tv. Im diggin it. I do have to be in the right mood for a game like this tho. Glad I am tonight 😌

unlabelledView post →A - ABZU Gotta be honest I've never actually played this game but I love the soundtrack, Austin Wintory is one of my favourite videogame composers and the Abzu soundtrack is of my favourites to just chill to Things like Final Fantasy are too much of a vibe but I can actually chill to this one

unlabelledView post →I've FELT like KAMIKAZE 🤯😱If you haven't played ABZU yet you should DEFINITELY give a try AMAZING game 🤩 #abzu #indiegames #gamergirl #streamer
unlabelledView post →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. 😤
unlabelledView post →Heya folks, here's a short featuring ABZU by Giant Squid and 505 Games. I decided to do a quick replay of this game. Only took a little over an hour this time. It's crazy that this'll be 10 years old next year. #abzu #videogames #indiegames #explorationgames #shorts
unlabelledView post →Top 10 games of all time Chrono Trigger Goldeneye Doom Tomb Raider Hades Abzu Subnautica Kotor Black Flag FF7 FF13 Halo Reach Resident Evil 2 Everyone else (Not Robocop versus Terminator snes wtf 90s darksouls was no joke. We have beef with that game.)
unlabelledView post →This makes up for the Chapter 10 Sewers being so boring minus the Abzu. 30 years of level design for dungeons, and they are so cheeks in this game overall so far.
unlabelledView post →Me: "actually here's my cost analysis, my break even point, who I've spent it on, what i think i still need to finish, and what i'll make at x number of units at each of your price points. Without knowing if you've played Subnautica or Abzu, what would you pay for an ocean game" 🧵
unlabelledView post →We finished the game! SOMEHOW THIS GAME, ABZU, AND SWORD OF THE SEA ARE ALL LINKED.... I'M INTRIGUED......
unlabelledView post →38) My favorite game without combat is ABZU. Plus, you get to swim with a big, friendly shark. :)
unlabelledView post →Happy 10 year anniversary to Abzu! If you want to re-live Giant Squid's debut game, check out our episode below pca.st/episode/0b90...
unlabelledView post →Finished "Abzu". What an experience! A game with minimal gameplay that will make you feel things and give you goosebumps. It's an amazing spectacle mixed with high quality orchestral music. Great job, @giantsquidstudios.com GAME: Abzu
unlabelledView post →What a beautiful game this is! There needs to be a special genre for games like "Journey" and "Abzu" so I can play more! GAME: Abzu
unlabelledView post →"Games are not art" Well, how about this footage 👀? GAME: Abzu
unlabelledView post →Bought "Abzu" on Steam even tho I own it on Epic cos the game is very good. It's basically an emotional game with no dialogue that is similar to "Journey" but underwater.
unlabelledView post →@alexries.com I want to see all the subnautica animals you designed in the game swimming & moving but I am absolutely terrified of underwater/deep sea I barely could get through parts of ABZU until I figured out everything is non hostile Someday
unlabelledView post →Throwing my hat in on ABZU, very pretty and mellow game
unlabelledView post →Great review for a great game. (Also go play Abzu and Pathless)
unlabelledView post →Agreed. I want a new game that's all water levels, but not like Ecco the Dolphin or Abzu. I want a game that's all Water Temple from OoT style levels, with each level having a different water level theme by ACY. It would be glorious.
unlabelledView post →HELP PICK A GAME TO STREAM! Scourge really wants his own niche, that niche being the ocean of course. There's no polls on Bluesky so we're doing it another way. Reply with an emoji to vote for which game he should stream! Dredge = 🎣 Subnautica = 🚀 Abzu = 🦈 Sword of the Sea = 🗡️
unlabelledView post →If you’re into actually playing a game v watching vids, cozy games on Switch is a genre. Cozy Grove, Winter Burrow, Abzu and Wytchwood are my faves. All with beautiful art, music and plots. On a tablet/computer, Tiny Bang Story and Machinarium!
unlabelledView post →Playing a game called Abzu 💙 #blackskygamers
unlabelledView post →Today's work soundtrack is from #Abzu. Fantastic game too, I think it's Journey gets recalled much more often but I found Abzu to be much more detailed and playful with how all the fish react to you. A beautiful and unmissable title. #videogames https://youtu.be/VxUQO-h7Lbw
unlabelledView post →#inktober day 12 - Whale Abzû is a game that evoked a lot to me. The game music score is sublime, and it felt good to just play such a contemplative game. #abzu #abzü #inktoberchallenge #creativetoots #mastoart
unlabelledView post →Abzu is such an underrated game!
unlabelledView post →Some incredibly striking art direction in this game. #abzu
unlabelledView post →Finished Abzu again.🎮 The Switch 1 version is pretty solid - Even better on Switch 2 via back. compat. 👍 On any platform, Abzu is a perfect fusion of art direction, motion, control, theme and story. Having grown up near and on the ocean, this game was quite profound for me. #abzu #nintendoswitch
