Fantastic titles made by people in their bedrooms.

Abzu fell kinda flat for me after Journey, but The Pathless more than makes up for it. It seems to be set in the same world as both prior games and has several references to each, so playing the first two does make it more rewarding to play.

I definitely recommend it since you liked Journey. The movement and combat feels great. It's refreshingly short and focused for an open world exploration game, so it respects your time, and it also has some excellent storytelling with plenty of nice emotional highs and lows. It's a worthy successor.

Yeah I was let down by Abzu. It was beautiful but didn't have substance. You speak very highly of The Pathless, I'm excited to try it out. Thanks for the rec!
