even though there is a greater meaning in this game that I do not know of, it's so beautiful! thank you for playing this Ryan I really appreciate you playing games like this one. :3
Hey Ryan x I just want to say thankyou for putting your all into these videos we all really appreciate it x I have been subscribed to you since almost the beginning 💕 and from all the way back there you still put your heart and effort into your videos x ♥ thankyou keep up the good work :)
I think the meditation thing is just so you can just sit there, enjoy the atmosphere, watch the fish and learn their names. It's really nice, actually.
What a beautiful and breathtaking game. It's full of this sense of wonder that is almost overwhelming (in a good way) and it's a credit to the developers that you can feel so immersed even when watching someone else play it, it feels like you are going on that journey as well. Great series Ryan
Wow, that Abzu game is so majestic! You know, this reminds me of a Wii game called Endless Ocean: Blue World. Man, I remember playing that game when I was young. It was so relaxing and a lot like Abzu in a way. I highly doubt anyone has heard of it, but seeing somebody play it again would be amazing. You should check it out when you have the time Ryan!
Ryan if you look at it closely,the temple at 1:27 seems to be a santcuary for creatures long thought to be extinct,like the Diplocaulus and Icthyosaurs
Oh ryan the area you spent most of your time in was filled with only extinct fish and also when you meditate you watch a creature and in the bottom right hand corner it tells you that creatures name. You can meditate in every section. That thing you initially called a "big Whale" was an elasmosaur a big creature with a really long neck.
A protagonist is generally someone thought of as good. So you meant that you thought the shark was the antagonist. Anyways, this game to me is an analogy for what we are doing to the ocean. That's part of why I love this game so much.
I was super upset when the shark died, but that comeback fiddled with my emotions In such a good way 😭 (Also Ryan, you completely didn't notice everything in that cave was prehistoric life 😉)
thank you so much for playing this game and it had been fun experiencing the awesomeness of the story line please play more games like ABZU and stay awesome and I will see you soon thanks for reading this comment
I have two theories for this game. One is a theory on what the game could mean and represent, the other for the game's actual story. My theory for the story is that there was once this underwater civilization, sort of like Atlantis, and the residents lived in peace with all the wildlife of the sea. But then a certain group of these people decided that the life of the ocean was getting out of hand, and should be controlled. So they created the organization of the triangles to destroy much of the ocean life. The opposing people who were still trying to protect the sea eventually died or something, and the only one left is the character you play as; and their responsibility is to bring peace and life back to the ocean. And then my theory for what the game could represent is, maybe it's some sort of depiction of how technology is taking over the world, destroying many of nature's beautiful creations. But eventually, nature will soon rebel and take back what was stolen from it. That's what it seems like to me, with the triangles that will destroy anything that comes near it, but then at the end of the game moss and coral begins to grow over the remains of the triangle.
Absolutely loved this little play through, this game is completely beautiful!! I also thinks there's a meaning to this: as humans, what we do with the ocean, is damaged it, killing living species for our own benefit, which isn't necessary (as shown by the ending and credits), so as humans, if we stay on land, and leave the ocean to be itself, natural beauty will spread (no I'm not a spiritualist)
Hey Ryan, I found this playthrough so relaxing and amazing. So I want to recommend another relaxing game for you! Could you play Journey? it's got almost the same style as ABZU!
love this so much your my favourite youtuber always putting a smile on my face and I watch you every single day and this game is AMAZING do more games like this!!! please ;)
Ryan, if you like this game you should play an older game these people made, the game is journey and i personally think Journey is a master piece just like you and this game! :D Edit: the ending of journey is VERY and I MEAN VERY like this one! :D
This game is beautiful, theres is a game just like ABZU called Journey. I highly recommend you play it. Keep up the amazing work, you an amazing person and very entertaining, you make every single video so much fun to watch
Two vids on a row...that's what i'm talking about :D Love ya vids! Keep it up..i always check your channel if you have any vids uploaded,but looks like i was kinda late on this one.
Sorry Ryan, but you're doing it again. :x Protagonist is a hero of a story. Main character. Antagonist on the other hand is opposition to the protagonist. Anyway, keep up the good work! Love your vids, man!
RYAN! I'm not sure if you know who protagonist is and what it means. Protagonist is a center of the story. The main character. The one you control. Antagonist is a main bad guy. Darth Vader in the star wars, Joker in the Batman, Walrider in the Outlast... etc Here you called shark a protagonist. In the Outlast you've asked: "So, this is our new protagonist?", seeing that old cannibal dude. I would be thankful if you could answer to that comment. :) Sorry for my bad english, not my main. Still learning :P
Basically he talked about the programmer, not the cannibal dude. You were confused as he was talking about the programmer we were playing as, while he was near the cannibal.
Also, who is the protagonist is controlled of who are you. There are 3 cases : 1. The player is the center of the story and he is the protagonist 2. The player is taking part on the story, but he isn't the center of the story. 3. The player is actually a "God"(This happens mostly in Simulation games), as he controls everything, and no story occurs
also Ryan the shark statue and meditation was simply for you to enjoy the scenery around the areas and look at the wildlife, they were actually scattered around every area and not important to the story :)
Ryan, I've been noticing this alot, so I'm sorry I have to say this: "protagonists" are the main characters or good guys of a story, and ANTAGONISTS are the bad guys/opposite of the main character in stories. You talk about villains or monsters and such with protagonists when it should be antagonist, as YOU are the protagonist. Again, sorry to be a grammar nazi or whatever, but that has been bugging me for awhile. STILL LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! Can't wait for more! :)
Wow, I had been asking you to play this in your recent videos because it wasn't coming up in the search bar for some reason. I just found this and watched it straight through. If you want to play another game like this, I would suggest Journey or Rime.
hi Ryan I'm one of your biggest fans I love watching you and other Ryan but (mostly) you and I love your vids I've been subbed to you since 36000 subs and your channel has grown massively and I know you probably won't get a chance to reply but just keep up the good work and P.S nice new channel logo
even though there is a greater meaning in this game that I do not know of, it's so beautiful! thank you for playing this Ryan I really appreciate you playing games like this one. :3
Hey Ryan x I just want to say thankyou for putting your all into these videos we all really appreciate it x I have been subscribed to you since almost the beginning 💕 and from all the way back there you still put your heart and effort into your videos x ♥ thankyou keep up the good work :)
I think the meditation thing is just so you can just sit there, enjoy the atmosphere, watch the fish and learn their names. It's really nice, actually.
I love that there is something different on the channel. Thanks Ryan!
What a beautiful and breathtaking game. It's full of this sense of wonder that is almost overwhelming (in a good way) and it's a credit to the developers that you can feel so immersed even when watching someone else play it, it feels like you are going on that journey as well. Great series Ryan
+8-BitRyan None realises the beauty of the ocean until they experience it, along with the true nature of sharks they are not man-eaters
Wow, that Abzu game is so majestic! You know, this reminds me of a Wii game called Endless Ocean: Blue World. Man, I remember playing that game when I was young. It was so relaxing and a lot like Abzu in a way. I highly doubt anyone has heard of it, but seeing somebody play it again would be amazing. You should check it out when you have the time Ryan!
wow this game actually made Me happy thank you Ryan for playing this game it made all my sadness and depression go away thank you..
Ryan if you look at it closely,the temple at 1:27 seems to be a santcuary for creatures long thought to be extinct,like the Diplocaulus and Icthyosaurs
I really enjoyed abzu. Thank you for playing it. I really hope you have intentions of play more games like this.
Oh ryan the area you spent most of your time in was filled with only extinct fish and also when you meditate you watch a creature and in the bottom right hand corner it tells you that creatures name. You can meditate in every section. That thing you initially called a "big Whale" was an elasmosaur a big creature with a really long neck.
please do more of these types of games !!!! it's just reaaaally reallly relaxing :)
Hey Ryan, awesome upload. Definitely loved to watch something else than horror games and I just adore this game. Please keep up the great work!
Great video as always Ryan! Thank you so much for making the day a little bit brighter for me! Never stop being awesome!
A protagonist is generally someone thought of as good. So you meant that you thought the shark was the antagonist. Anyways, this game to me is an analogy for what we are doing to the ocean. That's part of why I love this game so much.
Awesome new picture for the channel Ryan :) it looks so cool, you're an amazing youtuber and the effort you put into each video amazes me :)
This is so absolutely beautiful. Lol i actually teared up... Lol also couldn't help but also smile the entire game. Awesome game!
I have a theory.
Those triangles might represent all of the pollution in the ocean, and you are trying to make it natural again.... Maybe?
But that's just a theory, A GAME THEORY!
But seriously good theory.
+Alessio Doomboy Thanks :)
I think your thery is right
I think that the triangles are trying to destroy the oven and we're trying to go against our programming and save it!
Still waiting for the day to call the Antagonist an Antagonist and not a Protagonist
There NEEDS to be a sequel to the game. A Abzu 2 would be remarkable
I was super upset when the shark died, but that comeback fiddled with my emotions In such a good way 😭
(Also Ryan, you completely didn't notice everything in that cave was prehistoric life 😉)
Ryan, The shark ate you're robot friends because the triangle things make those robots to become...
"One Of, "THEM"
I've loved abzu too. Its a beautiful game, and its so peaceful.
The new picture looks really awesome, man. Love your videos! Keep it up!
yeah
Thanks man!! :)
+8-BitRyan the profile pic confused me and made me almost unsubed because I thought u were another random youtuber XD
8-BitRyan OMG RYAN ANSWERD OMG OMG OMG
+Mini Jeff damn calm down XD
thank you so much for playing this game and it had been fun experiencing the awesomeness of the story line please play more games like ABZU and stay awesome and I will see you soon thanks for reading this comment
Isn't Ichthyosaurus an extinct fish from the dinosaurs age?
Yep.
Well that's cool
Yes
yes
all those fishes in the 1st and 2nd rooms were prehistoric fishes,
This is such an awesome game. Thank you for playing it
He's enjoying the game a lot I can tell
Ahh did it really already end here?
I wanted to see so much more of this game, it's just too awesome!
What an awesome game. I really enjoyed watching it!
Awesome new picture Ryan! LOVE the vids!

it was an amazing experience I'm just in awe
Очень очень красивая игра , потрясные саундтреки , и с твоим прохождением все очень восхитительно
I'm so happy that there are aquatic dinosaurs in this game! It's so rare for anyone (besides kids) to even mention the existence of dinosaurs.
This game gave me so many emotions... It's amazing
This is such a gorgeous game
I just noticed something the triangles are...are... THE ILLUMINATE Ryan your the hero you are the one the chosen one, you beat the illuminate
I LOVE DIS VIDEO! btw when destroying the triangles u could have rode the shark while doing it but you are still the best youtuber EVER!
Absolutely loved this little play through, this game is completely beautiful!!

Two vids on a row...that's what i'm talking about :D
Love ya vids! Keep it up..i always check your channel if you have any vids uploaded,but looks like i was kinda late on this one.
That temple has all kinds of prehistoric creatures in there!
I love abzu. Its so beautiful, and peaceful.
Sorry Ryan, but you're doing it again. :x Protagonist is a hero of a story. Main character. Antagonist on the other hand is opposition to the protagonist. Anyway, keep up the good work! Love your vids, man!
Awesome! btw that profile picture? 100% KEEP IT UP
Love the new logo! 😌
BTW love the new channel icon :)
this is so calming like really amazing
I love the new profile picture Ryan!!! Love your videos and keep up the great work! (don't know what that has to do with profile pictures?)
RYAN! I'm not sure if you know who protagonist is and what it means.
Protagonist is a center of the story. The main character. The one you control.
Antagonist is a main bad guy. Darth Vader in the star wars, Joker in the Batman, Walrider in the Outlast... etc
Here you called shark a protagonist. In the Outlast you've asked: "So, this is our new protagonist?", seeing that old cannibal dude. I would be thankful if you could answer to that comment. :) Sorry for my bad english, not my main. Still learning :P
you're right and same also my english is bad too
Basically he talked about the programmer, not the cannibal dude. You were confused as he was talking about the programmer we were playing as, while he was near the cannibal.
Also, who is the protagonist is controlled of who are you.
There are 3 cases :
1. The player is the center of the story and he is the protagonist
2. The player is taking part on the story, but he isn't the center of the story.
3. The player is actually a "God"(This happens mostly in Simulation games), as he controls everything, and no story occurs
Finally, as the word "Antagonist" comes from Greek, is basically the one who competes you in a competition, he isn't actually an enemy.
You still have better english than half the internet.
hi Ryan keep up the epic content bro!!😊
also Ryan the shark statue and meditation was simply for you to enjoy the scenery around the areas and look at the wildlife, they were actually scattered around every area and not important to the story :)
Ryan, I've been noticing this alot, so I'm sorry I have to say this: "protagonists" are the main characters or good guys of a story, and ANTAGONISTS are the bad guys/opposite of the main character in stories. You talk about villains or monsters and such with protagonists when it should be antagonist, as YOU are the protagonist.
Again, sorry to be a grammar nazi or whatever, but that has been bugging me for awhile. STILL LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! Can't wait for more! :)
Whoa, dude! That new profile pic is LIT!!! XDXD
Damn, loving the new logo 😉
and i love the new picture it looks amaaaaazzzzing
* shark dies*
EPIC DIVE WOOOOOOHOOOOOO!!!!!!
I love ya ryan!!! And COOL New picture!
at the end i thought it was going to say " no matter how hard you try someone will ruin the beuty of nature "
they made those robot things... maybe they knew the shark would try to attack them so they made defenses...abzu confirmed!
i almost cried when the shark died
Wow, I had been asking you to play this in your recent videos because it wasn't coming up in the search bar for some reason. I just found this and watched it straight through. If you want to play another game like this, I would suggest Journey or Rime.
By the way Ryan love your new picture it's awesome
Ok Ryan. Looks like you don't even know that those weird fishes are axualy DINOSAUR FISHES.
hi Ryan I'm one of your biggest fans I love watching you and other Ryan but (mostly) you and I love your vids I've been subbed to you since 36000 subs and your channel has grown massively and I know you probably won't get a chance to reply but just keep up the good work and P.S nice new channel logo
At first i was like NOOOO SHARKY, and then i was like YAY SHARKY!!! :D
