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.
Loved this. Though it is a bit too similar to Journey
