This doesn't live up to the beautiful exploration of Abzu, but adopting Giant Squid's minimalism to a BOTW-like open world game brings curious results. The ambition exceeds its reach and even at six hours, this felt long in the tooth by the credits but I truly appreciated the laser-focused gameplay and emphasis on mobility over combat. Also it looks utterly stunning, one of the best-looking games I've played in quite some time.
