I can’t play Subnautica anymore, I finished it but now live with existential fear of deep water and vast open spaces. Would highly recommend ruining your ability to swim in the ocean just to play that game though, it’s incredible.

These two games are an absolute masterclass in atmosphere and ambiance.

Really are.

In Subnautica maybe by bug a leviathan was in the shallows… where I had thought I was safe. If it was a bug it was an excellently timed one.

In Outer Wilds, the whole coming together point when you realize the time scale, the reason it’s 22 minutes, every single nerve racking time in the bramble, so good!

I’ve played so many games at various stages of development I can’t remember them all anymore. One of my favorite games doesn’t exist anymore. I just like science fiction and I’ve been playing SF since SF1 came out. Outer Wilds and Subnautica are pretty good games though.
