ABZU is really nice to revisit and just swim around.

Overall, this game is a really solid debut by @buffalobuffalo.bsky.social that will certainly attract genre sickos, but also has enough appeal and design consideration to work for a more casual crowd. Bravo and congrats on the launch!

I could take or leave the Roguelike structure. I didn’t quite get sucked into an intoxicating one-more-run cycle, but I did want to keep going to hear more songs and Mythics interactions, and train my creaky reflexes to take on more challenging songs. Also, having a sword was sick.

Aside from the songs, a lot of charm comes from the unlockable Mythics, who narrate your adventure, offer different buffs, and favor different musical genres. The voice acting of each Mythic is great, with Fargo’s Peter Stormare chewing up the scenery as Sogvar, God of Metal, for example.

Most importantly for a rhythm game, the songs are breezy and fun! None of them grated on my nerves, even on ones that I retried several times. The game doesn’t have an undeniable showstopping banger track, but I appreciate how deftly it jumps between genres while always feeling solid to play.

I had a great time diving back in and finishing the story this year! Still haven’t fully mapped those damn depths though.

Had the misfortune of being cornered for an interview by Watters in college for a “dumb millennials” segment. My answers were cut from the vid but we still grace the YouTube thumbnail.

I know they already made Annihilation, but HEAR ME OUT.... Standalone Authority miniseries. I think it would be a perfect punchy eco-thriller. It could go into Acceptance, but honestly, I think the Southern Reach is a great setting to get lost in for a single season.

Yeah mine is gone too, happy I could still find my pieces on the site but it’s a shitty feeling to lose a convenient hub to link to.
