Abzu is a gorgeous video game. It's so relaxing and has such a beautiful soundtrack. I love the art style and graphics, the environments are rich with life. It really gives you an appreciation for underwater life.

The game is simple and anyone could play it. Kicking back and going through this game was a really enjoyable experience. 

You swim though diffrent zones and have a few nessisary objectives, with others that are optional. The game is about 2 hours long. If you enjoy relaxing video games that are visually stunning and don't require much focus to complete then this is one for you. Then again, the games so beautiful you'll no doubt be busy being captivated by it instead.

ABZÛ

I liked the meditation spots and all different colored fishies. It was like playing "Flower" underwater. There were times I felt the game went beyond just swimming around and looking at pretty colours; sometimes it stirred something deeper. Existential dread sometimes, connectedness to nature other times.

By the end I felt calm and serene within myself.

Some cons: Need better mechanic for meditation spot; it keeps toggling to same species too many times. Also I wish the story was presented in a better, more interactive fashion.

Nice game to relax to

This is a very short yet very beautiful indie game of about 2 hours. You are a robot who has awaken from it slumber and is returning back to its home. On your way back you remove corruption from the world. The puzzles are super simple and its a very relaxing game. Highly recommended to play it in one go to blow off the steam of a hard day's work.
