ABZÛ brings a flurry of gorgeous aesthetics as you discover deep water ecosystems, forgotten relics, and a mysterious corrupting force, creating a captivating reflective narrative. Mechanically it does not pretend to be something its not and purely focuses on its narrative world building to entice players to keep playing.

Trophy wise, there is an emphasis on collectible and miscellaneous trophies however they did not overstay their welcome. You can complete the game AND get all the trophies in one playthrough when consulting a guide, but this is not essential as you can go back through chapter select.

A lovely little game and worthy of a recommendation especially if you appreciate environmental storytelling.
