    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.

    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.
