Sword of The Sea Review | SSX + JOURNEY
15SSX, 1080, Coolboarders, and Amped have all failed where Sword of The Sea succeeds. These games are all iconic for a reason as the gameplay was exhilarating, but they failed to capture the spirit of the sport. That outer-body experience you get carving down the mountain. That moment when your feet become one with the board and you become one with nature.
Sword of the Sea manages to bottle this phenomenon and does for snowboarding what Journey did for hiking and what Abzu did for diving. If you’re familiar with the previous work of Giant Squid and to some point thatgamecompany, there is very little here in the way of surprises. The experience is short, the gameplay is light and the narrative is extremely abstract, but there are few studios who are able to create beautiful and atmospheric experiences and Sword of the Sea is another breathtaking adventure.
