Sword of the Sea is a very good game with a beautiful story. As usual, the designs are stunning and the soundtrack is great. But in a way, I didn't liked like the others games: You have to check every corner of every levels to find all the collectibles: there are too many of them. When you have unlocked all the water of an area, you have to go back on you steps to catch all the triangles to unlock powers who's not necessary to finish the game. I think it disrupts the game's rhythm. But it remains a great experience and an amazing journey who's worth it to be experienced. I highly recommend it! 💗

Masterpiece of the genre. The music, the story, the movement, the art: beautiful.

It’s a very short game with a surprisingly high price tag and very demanding hardware requirements. I had a lot of trouble running it at 4K on my rig and even had to enable Smooth Motion. To be perfectly honest, after the first level I actually tried to refund the game but I was already outside the 14 day refund window, so I ended up finishing. I do have to admit that the game becomes much more visually spectacular and genuinely more fun after the first level. So if you are like me, try pushing a bit further because once you reach the snow level and beyond it improves significantly. However, I still didn’t enjoy most of what I played and honestly I wouldn’t have minded skipping it entirely. The game’s strongest elements are definitely the art direction and the music. Even after finishing, I still don’t really know what the game or its ending was trying to say. Get it only on a massive discount, especially considering how short it is.

This game is excellent; the atmosphere and world are a masterpiece, but there are some problems. The price is very high for a game that's only two and a half hours long, and the biggest problem is the optimization.

Absolutely gorgeous game, but the use of UE5 and the current price tag makes it harder to recommend. While it would've been nice to play it in 1440p fullscreen without my GPU getting cooked (RX 7800 XT) I don't regret buying and experiencing this game
