Why should you be excited for *Abzu*, since a ton of other games were just announced and all we really know about it is that it’s a very pretty diving game? Well, in a word, pedigree. There’s a good reason the just-announced PS4 title is shimmering almost religiously with fish and seaweed and ocean-things. These glorious otherworldly seabeds are crafted by Giant Squid, the new studio of Matt Nava, formerly head art guy on *Journey* at Thatgamecompany. You can definitely see the similarities. It’s stylized, zen-like, and exotic, a perfect example of art direction trumping sheer graphical horsepower. You can also hear the choral similarities, as this one is being scored by Journey’s composer.
