With the same artist and the same composer, it’s really difficult to avoid comparisons to 2013’s seminal title. Fortunately, the guys at Giant Squid Studios are cool with the comparisons and are happy to embrace them. In fact, I was told that “Journey and Abzu are drawn by different hands” during my time with the game, and it’s looking like Abzu is going to be another wonderful experience."

Of course, it all depends on the game because plenty of them are terrifying regardless of whether or not you’re afraid of big bodies of water. Don’t worry, though, because this article is all about serene and relaxing underwater games. At least for the most part."
It’s probably too old for the list, but Ecco the Dolphin was a good’r back in the day.
The Humble Down to Earth Bundle just launched today. It features games like Beyond Blue, Summer in Mara, Lost Ember, Abzu, and more. A percentage goes to support charity.
Starting today, Abzu and Rising Storm 2: Vietnam are free at Epic Games Store. The free game offers run until October 15 at 11 AM Eastern. Once you claim them, they’re yours to keep.
This is definitely on my must buy list. I can't wait!
