An interactive story, or as it’s better known ‘a walking simulator’, Virginia’s strength lies in its fantastic movie like soundtrack and its initially gripping story. I say initially because for 2/3 of the game, you won’t be able to turn away but the game drops the ball hard for a disappointing, confusing and unsatisfactory final third.
Abzû is an adventure video game developed by Giant Squid Studios. A studio made up of many of the creative minds behind Journey. If that alone doesn’t make Abzû sound like something worth playing then hopefully my review will do just that.
Remember Limbo? You know, that little Indie game that won some awards back in 2010. It’s been downloaded well over 3 million times as well, no big deal. Apparently, that game was something of a success. In 2014, Playdead announced Inside a spiritual successor to Limbo.
