Subnautica -

It’s an open world survival craft game set underwater on an alien world.

The basic gameplay mechanics of diving underwater, having limited oxygen, light and time create an immersive baseline experience. It’s scary, exciting, and fun.

The core gameplay loop is about exploration, and as you advance and get better equipment and vehicles the experience of gameplay qualitatively advances too which is satisfying.

As you go deeper and farther away you find so many beautiful alien biomes and terrifying creatures. The game provides equal parts wonder and terror.

slight spoiler warning

As you play longer, there is an incredible story that is ‘hidden’ within the game. To me it came as a surprise, like a great plot twist in a movie.
