SP:
We first caught glimpse of Abzu at E3 2015 but weren’t able to get our hands on it. That changed this weekend, and we must say that this is another title to keep on your radar in an already crowded 2016.
Abzu is obviously nothing mainstream. You’re not going to see this game featured on many commercials, if any, but it’s also very possible for it to be critically acclaimed. 2012’s Journey set that precedent three years ago, and it looks like Abzu is likely to follow that same path.
BLG writes: "If the best way to overcome your fears is to face them head-on, then playing underwater games should be an efficient way to help you get over the fear of the deeps, better known as Thalassophobia. 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.
