    Sword of the Sea is a poetic adventure, carried by smooth movement and enchanting music. Though it draws on familiar elements from the developer’s past titles, the result feels cohesive and rewarding, especially for longtime fans.

    This is Nava's finest hour (or two) since the work for which he's still best known - especially when it focuses on the means rather than the end. [Issue#415, p.96]

    Sword of the Sea is like a siren - beautiful, inviting and great to listen to. Despite cutting through with an impeccable sense of style, the lack of a cohesive narrative and short runtime feels like you're treading water.
