💙 Abzû is the perfect game to pass back and forth with my son. It's this magical blend of calm, soft educational, and navigationally challenging that makes it as enjoyable to play as a kid or adult. Plus the graphics are just out of this world. @giantsquidstudios.com knocked it out of the park!

Voor een eerste artikel heb ik uitgebreid met @mattnava.bsky.social (van @giantsquidstudios.com) gebabbeld – in kleermakerszit, op een grasveldje in Eindhoven. Dankbaar voor dit interview. 💜 Matt is een doordachte en inspirerende spellenmaker, ook al staat hij verkeerd om op zijn snowboard.

#4 Sword of the Sea de @giantsquidstudios.com Le jeu évoque aussi bien Journey que Abzû par sa direction artistique. Parfait pour se détendre en s'émerveillant de l'animation mais aussi de l'OST qui appuie l'aspect contemplatif. 🏆 82% des trophées obtenus
