Developed by Giant Squid and published by 505 games in 2016 for PC, PS4 and Xbox One, with a Switch port releasing in 2018, this game is still available on all modern platforms via its original release.

Game 284: Abzû

Abzû is a game about immersing yourself in a gorgeous ocean, filled to the brim with fantastic sights. There are goals, puzzles and a deep little story here, but really, the pinnacle of this game's enjoyment comes from swimming around and observing the beauty of the ocean.

Absolutely dude, I'm glad you liked what you saw! And take your time getting to it, I got it as fast as possible because this was literally my most anticipated game of the year 🤣 I can't wait to hear your thoughts on it when you eventually play it.

I finally started playing Absolum. It is no less than perfect, I couldn't be happier with it. The combat feels amazing, the art direction is impeccable and I just can't get enough of this world and characters, especially with such well-written dialogue. I feel honored to be able to play this game.

You know it, dude! 😎 Dead or Alive 5 is probably my favorite 7th gen fighting game, and Smash Ultimate... I mean, it's Smash Ultimate! (Plus, there are two whole Castlevania characters on the roster, so it is objectively peak 😌)

Man, Batman Beyond is such a good show... That one was edgy done right!!

Bruno for the PS2 🦇 @apesnake3.bsky.social · 11h

Me too!! As a kid, I remember really wishing there was a PS2 game based on it haha

Are you talking about Galloping Ghost? Man, I watched so many videos about that place, it looks straight up like a dream. I don't know if I'll ever be able to go, considering I live in another country 😅 but I do hope you get to visit it one day!!

Oh no, absolutely, having the opinion of someone who isn't found of familiar with the genre is very useful, especially to people who want to know if a game is a good starting point for said genre. But at least try to not sound bitter when writing your review, that's all I'm saying 🤣

Yes... that one.

I can't believe it... They are ON FIRE this month 🤣

But fr, Maude, you write reviews, you know about this stuff. Tell me if this one doesn't sound like it was written by someone who doesn't like rouguelikes, but was forced to review one 🫠 it's like "looks good, plays good, but roguelike, so 7/10"

Absolum Review - IGN

An excellent beat ‘em up let down by a roguelite structure that doesn’t serve it.

That sounds like such a fun place to hang out!! My favorite genre will always be the beat 'em ups, so if they had like a Final Fight machine or something, I would probably spend my time there 🤣 but fighting games aren't far behind, I almost love them both equally.

Bruno for the PS2 🦇 @apesnake3.bsky.social · 20h

Considering how many times he would have to kill them before either of them would even consider giving up, they might beat him just by making him tired 🤣

Bruno for the PS2 🦇 @apesnake3.bsky.social · 20h

I always treated fighting games as fun games to play with friends or kill some time alone. One day I might take one of my favorites and try to learn it more deeply, but to be honest, that just isn't my style.

And yes, Marvel Tokon is looking pretty sweet so far!!!

The anime style didn't appeal to me when I played Dawn of Sorrow, but it started to grow on me by the time I got to this one.

And yeah, those bosses are good!! Some of them are really hard, but never unfair. That first Stella fight is still one of my favorites in the franchise.

K: Kratos (God of War)

Dude's the absolute embodiment of vengeance. He was capable of decimating an entire pantheon of gods just to get revenge on the ones who betrayed him.

I looked at Absolum's Metacritic score and yeah, I'm not surprised. It's always nice to see an indie game I've been looking forward to being well received, makes me really happy for the dev team.

Also, take a wild guess as to which site was the only one that gave this game a 7/10. Just guess it.
