A meditative mind-meld tinged with peppermint and peach washes, this is a game IвЂ™ve been looking forward to for a while.

How We Soar вЂ“ PS4 VR вЂ“ Penny Black Studios вЂ“ Out 2016 Abzu is a diving adventure, taking us to strange worlds under the sea. Looking beyond the blockbusters, IвЂ™ve picked out the best indie games of E3 2016.ДЄbzu вЂ“ PS4/PC вЂ“ 505 Games вЂ“ Out on 2 August 2016ДЇrom the artist beyond such beauties as Journey and Flower, Abzu takes far away from the guns and bombast of the AAAs of the big publishers.

Sadly, that seems to have been a blip, as it was business as usual in 2016.

There was a lot of new IP on offer, alongside the ubiquitous sequels, which is encouraging for this generation.
