Let’s get this out of the way right at the start: Abzu is a beautiful game. Even in-house Nintendo studios have a tendency to just make it a place for you to run out of oxygen and watch Mario drown in a particularly gruesome fashion.Ībzu doesn’t rely on such tired tropes, and instead, emphasizes the beauty and splendor that the depths can contain. More often than not they rely on a player’s fear of the deep and the unknown entities within for cheap thrills, as is the case with games like SOMA. Underwater settings can be a difficult challenge to make fresh and interesting from a game design standpoint.
