Extremely "meh" for the genre

I usually love games of this genre, but you have to REALLY be in the mood to play ABZU. The entire game is basically just swimming underwater and finding things to open doors or progress - but you swim INFURIATINGLY slow (so it takes forever to explore), and the controls are very derpy. It's the same thing over and over and over, and there's very limited (and only superficial) interaction with the game/environment. The entire point of these types of games is to explore and immerse yourself, but the crappy controls and lack of depth just kill that experience. The visuals are only ok, and the soundtrack is similarly mediocre. I get that this is an "experiential" game, but there are MUCH better ones. If you're determined to buy this, at least watch a LOT of gameplay vids to make sure you'll actually be happy paying for it.
