Unfortunately, Abzu falls into the latter category. Forgetting the game and putting too much focus on aesthetics makes for a vapid, forgettable result. A game with poor visuals and strong play can be a great experience, while the opposite is not true. But at their core? There has to be something of substance. Games are unique in that they can combine sights, sounds, critical thinking, reflexive response, imagined peril and more to engage a person in a way that no other medium can, and the best blend these elements into something that works on all levels. Of course looks have a role, but what’s more important is the way it plays. There’s more to a great video game than graphics. WTF Is that part of the game time travel, or…? LOW There’s no substance to the gameplay. HIGH Swimming through a huge school of fish for the first time.
