Okay, so I’ve been playing *Sword of the Sea* – it dropped on PS5 and Steam on August 19th, and honestly, it’s amazing. Critics and players both seem to love it – it’s sitting at an 88 on Metacritic with an 8.6 user score. It’s not a super long game, but the world is just beautiful and the surfing feels so smooth. It’s kinda weird though, there’s no actual fighting despite the name! You basically glide around on a sword, bringing water to the desert and bringing life back to the land. The developers, Giant Squid, already had a deal with PlayStation, so it’s on the PS Plus Extra catalog, which is awesome. But now everyone’s speculating that Sony might have actually *bought* them! Here’s the scoop on what’s going on.
