Abzu vs Tidal Tribe
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.
Tidal Tribe
Tidal Tribe is a relaxing god game where the goal is to create as many lakes as you can by sculpting the land, just so you can encourage plants, especially fruit-bearing ones, to grow, which will, in turn, provide the necessary impetus for neighboring villages to develop into proper civilizations. Of course, there are various other factors to consider if you want to build the perfect villages when you terraform the land, including whether or not the waters will cause flood, or whether the mountains you create are too high for the meeples (the AI villagers) to climb. Basically, the game can be as easy or as challengingly-strategic as you want, depending on the personal goals you set for your playthrough.Tidal Tribe is not only a fun and relaxing god game to play; it has some pretty nice graphics and ambiance for a low-budget indie title as well! So, if you would like to flex your god-like muscles in a game where the AI people don't moan or complain about stuff as much, this is the game for you.
