How'd you like it? (Gaming)

I'm about halfway through (I'm guessing?). It's . . . hmm. It's enjoyable, for what it is. There definitely doesn't seem to be much of a game there. As simple as Journey was, I feel like it had a point, and it did have more fleshed out mechanics that than Abzu seems to have. I am enjoying it. It's very relaxing and the soundtrack (and sound design in general) is great.

I'm planning on finishing it tonight, so I'll post a quick update here when I do.

You said it. Hmmm. It's a beautiful game, but for me it didn't have the emotional resonance that Journey did. It probably doesn't help that I've got a pretty sizable fear of the ocean.

While we're here, though, talking about indie follow ups, I'll say it again: INSIDE is better than LIMBO, IMHO.
