ABZU

I heard this game is only 2 hours long but even knowing this I can't bring myself to finishing it. I'd say there are 2 main things I dislike so far: [olist] [*] The dull and cliche plot (evil big shark eats little robot friend). The game would be better off without plot imho. [*] Terrible controls. The character never does what I want. Swimming feels like a chore and this is a game where all you do is swim around. [/olist] Just visit your local aquarium instead.

Управление просто ужасное, в это невозможно играть. Ни инвертирование ни его отключение не помогли улучшить геймплей, а кроме плаванья тут больше ничего и нет. А еще игра плохо оптимизирована и слишком сильно нагружает пк, хотя судя по минимальным требованиям казалось бы она должна летать, но увы.

[b]TLDR:[/b] ABZU brings a gorgeous underwater exploration experience, but I expect it's not that chill/relaxing for some people. [b]Story:[/b] There are a few story and lore pieces told using pure 'Show, don't tell', although it's not that interesting for me. [b]Gameplay:[/b] The only gameplay is moving your character to explore around, proceed to next area or interact with certain objects so you can continue the story. But I found the control felt awkward with both keyboard/mouse and generic controller. It's even worse since the game doesn't have rebind feature. [b]Visual and Audio:[/b] Both the visuals and animation are obviously the best aspect of this game, and I only noticed a few animations that look stiff to me. I also liked the soundtrack, although I expect some people would prefer quieter music to match the game's atmosphere better. [b]Other:[/b] The game has a bug where some screen resolutions (e.g., 2560x1440) aren't available to choose. I had to search the forum to find out that you should change some visual settings and restart the game before more screen resolution options become available. I also had minor motion sickness, which is unusual since it usually only happens on some FPS titles. If you're interested in this game, I recommend buying it on sale due to its base price and short gameplay duration. But I also recommend trying the game for 15 minutes after you buy it to see whether you feel okay with the controls and don't experience serious motion sickness. P.S. My actual playtime is slightly below 2 hours.

Abzu - медитативное подводное приключение (2016 год). Сюжет: безымянный дайвер исследует океан, раскрывает тайны древней цивилизации и постигает связь всего живого - история подаётся без слов, через образы и атмосферу. Особенности: - живописный подводный мир в стиле «стилизованного реализма»; - плавное управление персонажем, способным свободно перемещаться на любых глубинах; - наблюдение за реалистично анимированной фауной (от мелких рыб до китов); - простые головоломки для продвижения по сюжету; - режим «медитации» - возможность наблюдать за обитателями и узнавать их названия; - сбор коллекционных предметов (ракушки, освобождение существ из бассейнов); - атмосферный саундтрек Остина Уинтори (автор музыки к Journey). Коротко: короткое (2-3 часа), красивое и успокаивающее путешествие по океану - игра‑впечатление о гармонии природы.

键鼠玩不了一点，玩了十分钟在原地打转翻跟头，头晕眼花。

I picked this game originally because I was so terrified of water life in Subnautica that I wanted a relaxing swim with the fish and not from them.  On a serious note, I finished the game in one sitting without even realizing that 4 hours past (you can finish it significantly quicker). I just really liked looking at all the fishes and searching how they look in real life.  Perfect if you want to have a relaxing swim because there are genuinely not a lot of games where fish doesn't want to bite your head off, the music is gorgeous, and each biome is mesmerizing.  10/10 will definitely come back to just swim around. 100% - not hard, you will need to get all the collectibles, but there is a chapter selector at the end, so you will be able to come back and get everything if you missed any.
