Subnautica
Stranded on an ocean planet: gather, build a base and dive ever deeper. Beautiful and a little frightening.

After a crash landing you are alone in a small escape pod on an alien ocean. To survive you collect materials, craft tools and build vehicles and underwater bases. The deeper you dare to dive, the stranger and more impressive the world becomes, and the more there is to be wary of.
There is a real story to uncover, but nobody tells you where to go. If managing food and water is not your thing, a gentler mode switches those needs off and leaves you free to explore.
What we like
- A breathtaking underwater world
- Exploration that genuinely rewards curiosity
- Gentler modes for relaxed play
Worth knowing
- The deep sea can be genuinely tense
- Little guidance, especially at the start
