    I love ABZU for how chill (and beautiful) it is.
    Skyrim can be really chill too, when you’re just exploring the forest or mountains and that ethereal music starts playing.

      Sitting on the edge of a cliff in Skyrim VR at night while the Northern Lights do their thing is seriously one of the most chill experiences i've ever had in a game

    Wonderful Jones! I often find myself after watching a movie or anime, just watching the screen saver on my TV when it selects the aquatic life series. Even though I know they're not real fish it's still so peaceful and calming to watch. Thanks and I look forward to the next one!

    i honestly kinda want this to be a long-running series rather than just a few episodes like what was planned. though i guess the short runtime of it is kind of fitting with the subject matter lol
    i've really enjoyed every one of these so far, it's one of the best series in video game journalism ever imo. and i'm surprised it hasn't been done sooner

    This was a beautiful episode. I still have Abzu in my backlog; generally not too keen on underwater games but after seeing this, I may as well give it a try. For me, No Man's Sky, despite its myriad UI elements delivers a similar feel. Endless worlds to explore and all at my pace.

    Wow. That is one truly magical Atlantean game. Will definitely dive deep into that one when I've something I can experience it on. Thanks a ton for the vid on it, Brandon and Allies! So good to get to have this moment of calm every week, and look into another upmost mindful game. Such a pleasure I for one surely cherish.

    It's funny, I played Journey a bunch of times and loved it. I played through this once with high expectations but found it didn't leave me with the same sense of awe and wonder. Maybe it deserves a replay?

      Journey is the obvious choice, but I swear nothing beats Flower in terms of idyllic mindfulness. I play through that game almost every spring. It is, without hyperbole, magical. I hate that people tend to forget about Flower.

      Maybe you have megalophobia, fear of really large things or things that are larger than they usually are/are supposed to be: like a giant anchor or a statue of a person on a horse thats bigger than it would've been in reality.

    I'm going to keep this one for bedtime, nice one BJ.
    I recently got this one running like greased butter at native 4K with RTSS's scanline sync after years of stuttering from the in-game and nvidia control panel v-sync.
    Its a testament to how good it is that this became one of my favourite games ever when I played it even though the fishballs (some of the most amazing parts imo) were a stutterfest and stuttering is something I can rarely ignore.
    Of course The Pathless (The PS5 version, PC is probably fine) from the same devs has a stutter in 30fps mode, but again I can put up with it for how ace the game is and its not an actual frame drop so its hard to perceive when you are moving at speed, the fact that you don't move the camera much in those chase scenes helps I'm sure. I've asked the devs if they plan to fix it but I'm sure everyone is just playing in 60fps mode anyway. I just couldn't because the minimalist art style loses all its microdetail (There is barely any to begin) in the performance mode.
    Anyway, sorry to BJ if you reading this stutter-rambling lol Blood probably learned long ago to skim my comments haha.
    Just know that I REALLY appreciate these videoes and I think its one of th best things EZA has done, so you can put that in your ego-pipe and smoke it Jones, amazing work!
