Abzu vs Blockland
Abzu
Abzu is unlike any game you may have played before. As opposed to many games that focus just a tad bit too much on fighting and killing one another, Abzu is a beautiful exploration and interactive-styled adventure-like game that allows you to simply explore the wonderous and vibrant underwater world. Play as the Diver and immerse yourself in a world filled with abundant sea life and mystery while doing impressive underwater acrobatics or even simply swimming around with the fishes... fishes or any underwater wildlife that actually can react to your presence rather than just ignoring you.The feeling of relaxing quietness that Abzu can evoke is so uncanny. Despite the graphics, which doesn't look at all like the real-life version (this is not a criticism by the way, we're just pointing out a fact), the game is just so well-designed that you actually feel like you're diving underwater while playing the game. We'd highly recommend this game if you're looking for a game to play to destress or just to experience something completely new.
Blockland
Blockland may be a voxel-based sandbox game in name, same as games like Minecraft, Roblox and others, but in reality, the game is a whole lot more unique due to its Lego-like features. In fact, due to its looks, many have likened the game to the unfortunately shuttered Lego Minifigures Online. Playable in single player or multiplayer, the game allows its players to unleash their creativity by creating literally anything they can think of. The game also has tons of different blocks, textures and assets (pre-made stuff) to cater to their creative needs, allowing players to come up with the most exciting mini-games and mazes as well as beautiful locations for themselves and their friends to hang out at. Players can even drive cars (sometimes vertically up the wall of a building, breaking all rules of perceived gravity in the game), ride bikes, pilot planes, and more.Although the game is no longer getting updates and apparently its community has been dwindling, Blockland is still an amazing game that answers the question of what Minecraft would look like if its "Lego-fied".
