ABZÛ Review

A superb environmental exploration in great atmosphere and interesting story discoveries (story is told through the environment itself).
Relatively short, but definitely worth playing.

This is also a great introductory piece into the interactive medium that is gaming - a very enjoyable exploration of interesting and beautiful environments with little complexity or difficulty.

+ Great atmosphere
+ Great visuals
+ Great music
+ Great variance in environments
+ Interesting, unintrusive story telling and progression in it
* 80-90 minute playthrough
* Mostly a "walking simulator" with little "gameplay"/interactivity
- Cutscenes often (unnecessarily) take away control from the player (=> breaks flow and immersion)
