Abzu vs Subnautica
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.
Subnautica
Subnautica is a virtual reality game set in a gorgeous and open underwater world that may bring to mind epic explorative-styled adventure games like Abzu. However, interestingly, the underwater world you’ll be experiencing is not of the Earth. Instead, the game had you crash landed on an alien ocean world teeming with otherworldly life that may be friendly or hostile – you’ll just have to find out which on your own! The game even has a beautiful yet extremely dangerous “nightlife” that will require substantial preparation.Aside from being an explorative game, Subnautica will also see you scavenge, craft and survive in this alien world as well as to build your very own underwater habitat to be used as your base of operations while you go off on exciting adventures to learn more about the planet you are on.
Subnautica may still be in early access, but the game already feels like a complete game. The development team behind this game is also very active, providing its players with new updates and fixes frequently. When it comes to virtual reality games, Subnautica is definitely one of the few that is actually worth more than the price it asks for.
