Gorgeous indie Sword of the Sea nets reviews rivaling 2025’s heaviest hitters

It is an amalgam, a compilation of visionary director Matt Nava’s creative outpourings that began with Journey back in 2012. Considering its impressive pedigree, it should come as no surprise that Sword of the Sea has been met with glowing reviews, rivaling those of GOTY contenders Clair Obscur Expedition 33 and Blue Prince.
