Subnautica

If I could wish for one thing, it would be to erase this game from my memory so I could experience it for the first time again.

***DO NOT***
Under any circumstances, read any guides for this game. Any hint, no matter how minor, will ruin your enjoyment of this game. You have been warned. The world is not randomly generated like most survival games. Keep exploring, and you will succeed. Wondering what is going on and what to do next is what this game is all about.
The game is well balanced, and has an astounding atmosphere. Every new discovery gives you a sense of accomplishment that very few games deliver.
The only thing that is bad about this game, is that it ends. Replay value will be low for most people. It does have a hardcore mode, which may not be everyone's cup of tea.
Please, if you read this review, rate. It's not that I care about the ratings, I just want people to be aware of potentially ruining their experience by reading spoilers.
I am a long time gamer, and Subnautica is simply one of the best games I ever played. This is coming from a person that absolutely hates the water and can not swim in real life.

Can't wait to play this game with my favorite Logitech controller

For those about to play: dive into this game without any spoilers. Avoid Let's Plays and the Subnautica wiki for the best experience. Just launch the game and let your adventure begin.
This isn't just a game; it's a journey in the survival genre like no other.
Subnautica distinguishes itself by not just focusing on gathering resources and building bases. It offers a narrative richness and lore depth that is unparalleled in survival games.
The story begins right when you start playing, crafting a unique experience. It's not merely about base building; exploration and the evolving story are what keep you engaged. And this journey takes you deeper, quite literally.
Each new depth brings its own set of challenges and initially unwelcoming environments. As you explore and overcome these challenges, you transform these once daunting areas into familiar territories. From fear to familiarity, you make the unknown your domain. New resources enable you to explore even further. This cycle of discovery and adaptation is relentless.
But you're always a stranger in these depths.
This game offers a unique sense of exploration and uncertainty unlike any other.
My own adventure spanned 50 hours, filled with countless moments of awe. The world's atmosphere, diverse wildlife, and vast landscapes are stunning. In this world, you're a small entity in a vast, beautiful ecosystem.
With no lethal weapons, your survival depends on wit and resourcefulness. Alone on an alien planet, you learn to survive, adapt, and thrive.
Subnautica is a singular experience in gaming and is more than worth its price.
The single-player design enhances the game, emphasizing the feeling of isolation and discovery.
When you finally uncover the mysteries of the planet, the experience is unforgettable.

At one moment it’s a nice cute game where I explore alien marine life, enjoying the beautiful sights, playing with little fishies and building my underwater home sweet home …Oops I’ve run out of crafting material. Better make a quick run in my brand-new submarine.
Now I’m in a survival horror game, in the deepest darkest depths of the ocean, being chased by a giant sea monster straight out of Lovecraftian horror, my submarine is on fire, I’m running out of oxygen and the game decided to drop the sickest beat while I’m experiencing 12 ways to die.
10/10 recommended. Don’t play it for a story. Play it for the experience.
