TBG writes -I now own Abzu on all 3 current gen consoles, I predominantly wanted it on the Switch for the handheld element. It’s one of those games that’s nice and chilled to play without having to worry about any set goals, which is always handy. It’s definitely influenced by Journey which is to be expected when some of the development team had previously worked on that title.

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.
"The Switch version seems to be more or less identical to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions, the visuals seem a little less sharp but that may just be how I see it playing it in handheld mode, regardless it’s still impressive looking and does exactly what it needs to. " I looove how good non AAA games look on the Switch. Why buy it on Xbox and PS4 if you could play it on the go?
