Two of 505 Games titles seem to have caught the eye and admiration of many of the gaming industry’s top journalists last month at E3 2015, racking up 25 “Best of E3” accolades and nominations. The hotly anticipated underwater exploration game ABZÛ from new game developer, Giant Squid received several Game Critics Award nominations, while the first person experience, ADR1FT from developer Three One Zero received numerous nods from IGN, Game Informer and Venture Beat.
In addition to ABZÛ and ADR1FT, racing simulator Assetto Corsa as well as a healthy slate of mobile titles contributed to the great showing by 505 Games.

Although we here at COG didn’t give any awards out during E3, we did get to see both ADR1FT and ABZÛ. Both were great looking games with ABZÛ really catching our attention. It seems that 505 Games has some great titles coming out and they can’t hit their respective platforms soon enough for us.
