XBoxEra

Gorgeous Visuals
Tons of Replayability

It's like, a total vibe man.

Story-wise, it feels like ABZU 2.0 - with surfing.

Multiplayer.it

Aesthetically very successful
We were surprised several times.
The system of thing works well.

A few additional ramps could have been added (or a dedicated mode).

GamesRadar

+
Surfing feels simultaneously thrilling and relaxing
+
An evocative story that is self-contained but also bridges together other Giant Squid games
+
Visuals and music so rich it?s impossible not to get swept up in the moment

-
Some action-based sequences interrupt the game's overall flow
-
Controlling sea creatures can be a bit clunky

Vandal

An audiovisual show from start to finish. It's a real treat with a masterful soundtrack.
The sensations it conveys and the feeling of progress as we move forward.
An unforgettable journey...

... which ends in the blink of an eye.
We could have done something more with the ornaments we make with our sword/board.

ActuGaming

Enchanting artistic direction
Diverse and highly distinctive environments
Excellent sliding sensations
Music widely at the level

A narration ultimately unnecessary
Gameplay and artistic direction sometimes collide head-on.

The instant transformation of the setting, very satisfying.

GamingBolt

Stunning art direction and presentation
Incredible soundtrack
Responsive controls that allow for seamless exploration and fun platforming
Strong pacing and environmental design

Painfully short runtime - feels like it's over just when it's kicking off
Several loose ends remain with the narrative, which doesn't endear as much as Giant Squid's past games
The best parts of the platforming come together in the late game
Trick system feels mostly superfluous
Hefty performance drops in some areas
