Sword of the Sea is an expression of the joy of movement in video games - PS Plus subscribers are in for an absolute treat


Our preview of Sword of the Sea, a game of wonderfully laid-back flow, from the makers of Abzû and The Pathless.

Watch on YouTube Exit your hibernation chamber of a cave, claiming your mystically imbued sword of some kind of wordless destiny – there's a lot of Zelda here, you'll quickly notice, pot-smashing included – and you're away. With those few interactions you have all you need: do a little pulse by some shiny object of universal video game language - a treasure chest, a little glowing pad, a funny-looking guy, a gaggle of smashable pots - and of course, results. People have spiritual connections they build with video game experiences – even ones like that," Nava laughs, though I should say totally earnestly, nodding towards a rattling machine gun on a screen nearby.
