Congrats to my friends & thank you to Recording Academy for including SWORD OF THE SEA at the '26 Grammys! & massive shoutout to @wilbertroget.bsky.social for the 2x nom!
I'm sad at the lack of Expedition 33 among them. I would happily trade places. That score is the *definition* of worthy!

⚔️Sword of the Sea: Spiritual successor to Journey & ABZU, Sword of the Sea lets you do sick flips and jumps and is a hybrid of SSX Tricky and Tony Hawk Pro-Skater. The soundtrack is immaculate and the art direction equally so. A very zen time.

Game 305: Sword of the Sea
Journey meets Pro Skater in one of my favorite games of 2025, a fantastic adventure through diverse, gorgeous environments, with a protagonist that feel like a dream to control. Seriously, this game is just so much fun. Snappy, fast, intuitive fun.

Such a gorgeous game 😍 It was just as amazing as ABZU and Journey and I was so excited to get to go back to a similar world. It was everything I needed it to be. Killer soundtrack, beautiful art style and simple but fun gameplay.
