Seems strange an experience game like this hasn't jumped on the VR boat

I took a programming test to work on this game. I did not get the job. The team is super small, I think 4 or 5?

Is it an actual game or is it just swimming around in someones art wank till I get bored?

Let's Cyber · « **Reply #4 on:** August 02, 2016, 09:30:53 AM »

It is definitely art wank, but it is also really damn good art wank

The animation is top notch.

It's pretty!

Pretty empty.

It's a less interesting version of Journey mixed with a little Flower wrapped in scuba gear. I like both of those games but ABZU is really kind of a turd.

Why you have to steal our Abzu too Hitler?

It feels like more Flower than Journey to me, honestly.

It is more of an "experience", not really any gameplay to speak of. I finished it in around 3 hours, took another 1.5 hours to get all of the achievements. I'd give it a 9/10 but I'm a sucker for underwater and ocean stuff. The soundtrack is fantastic, as is the animation on the ocean wildlife

Achievements in a non-game are like gold stars in a special ed. class. And you spent and hour and a half getting them.

Short bus shaming

looks real cool. I much prefer this sort of interactive experience game devoid of challenge rather than the interactive experience game where they just make it a generic manshooter to justify it as a Real Game™

Really enjoyed Flower, so I'll check it out when it's cheaper.

I'll admit that it took me a few tries to beat the electric level in Flower without getting hit

I was pleasantly surprised with how reminiscent this was to Flower, especially the last section. Will be worth your time when you pick it up
