Is it still worth playing?
Abzû is an adventure game, released in August 2016 for PlayStation 4, Windows and Xbox One. A diver explores the ocean and restores life using sonar calls. The environments range from open water and natural caverns to ancient ruins, filled with plant and animal life, and in a few areas the diver can explore land above the water. As the game progresses the diver unlocks new areas and pursues the secrets behind the forces harming the local environment. The course through interconnected areas is linear. The player directs the diver with full analog control and solves switch or item-based puzzles. Development took three years with a team of thirteen. Diving through an ocean of marine life is still a way to spend an hour.
