Abzu vs Zen Koi
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.
Zen Koi
Zen Koi is a new breed of simulation game where you get to raise, breed, and collect beautiful Koi fishes. Featuring a casual gameplay accompanied with a calm and meditative soundtrack, this game is perfectly-designed to wind you down after a tough day. The gameplay is quite in-depth too for a casual game. Aside from feeding your Kois and helping them reach their mythical dragon form, you can find other Kois to breed (the game's more social aspect) to produce offsprings with unique patterns to add to your collection. There are hundreds of Japanese carp for you to collect, including some rare ones. Best yet, you can share the Koi patterns you have with your friends!Zen Koi's rapid rise to fame only proves that being an indie game doesn't really hamper a game's popularity as long as the gameplay is attractive to the players it is targeting. That being said, if you're looking for a soothing game, Zen Koi definitely fits the criteria. Try it now!
