Sword of the Sea, the latest from Giant Squid, is a gorgeous blend of Journey’s poetry and Pathless-style flow. Surfing your blade across sand and sea feels unreal, backed by another soaring Austin Wintory score. Short at 3–4 hours, but expectedly great.

Somewhere between Journey and BOTW, but with a tighter and shorter focus. Great to look at, fun and satisfying to play. Could see it being repetitive and unrewarding for some, but its core is a nice.

A short little linear exploration game which is as beautiful as it is relaxing. Fantastic attention to detail and a carefully crafted atmosphere. Hard to not say “Journey but it’s underwater”.
