Pros

  • Sword of the Sea – 8/10
  • i really liked sword of the sea though. the surfing/snowboarding is really fun, and ties the whole experience together nicely.
  • Inside, Stray, Sword of the Sea
  • This is not to say Sword of the Sea Haptic Feedback is not great, it definitely is but not in the same level as those two. Also the fact that all three Games Astro, Rift Apart, and Sword of the Sea are all 10/10 games for me so I am just...
  • The game is amazing and perfect for PS+ Extra/Premium owners, since it’s free! I was shocked to see how good it was with the Dualsense: it makes sense that Sony helped make the game happen.

Cons

  • No, it's not anywhere close to the implementation of AstroBot, but it's nice to see it implemented in a satisfying way for a game all about traversal
  • It’s beautiful at many times and a fun, quick ride, but I don’t think it’s worth all this 10/10 hype. New game plus is a nice extra, some of the hidden secrets and areas are really fun to find. The story is light but fun. For me, it was...
  • Loving it so far. Only thing is I find the audio design a bit off for certain sounds, the water mainly, sounds like it has an odd distortion to it, anyone else noticing this?
  • It is definitely beatable in two hours. I beat it in under two hours and even got a trophy for doing so.
  • Looks fun but $30 for a 1.5 hour game, no thanks.

This is not to say Sword of the Sea Haptic Feedback is not great, it definitely is but not in the same level as those two. Also the fact that all three Games Astro, Rift Apart, and Sword of the Sea are all 10/10 games for me so I am just being genuinely honest.

The story is light but fun. For me, it was a one and done as I found most content the first way through - probably 3-4ish hours of gameplay.

Started it yesterday just to see what it was about. It's beautiful. I love it

Great game. People complain about Sony not making enough smaller AA creative games yet Sword of the Sea is exactly that. It reminds me of Journey on PS3 with the art, music, and vibes but the surfing gameplay is so smooth and satisfying.

Just beat the game. What a beautiful game and what a great end. Wanted to cry several times threw out the game
