Subnautica ~~$29.99~~ $9.89 (67% off)
Sci-fi survival builder: you're on a massive spacecraft that ends up crash landing on an ocean planet; your goal is to figure out wtf happened and find a way off the planet. This game is 80% feel-good tropical diving simulator; and 20% thalasaphobic deepsea horror. This has become one of my go-to "idk what to play" games that I keep returning to for a nice digital tropical vacation... with a dash of fleeing in terror from, uh... spoilers. No really though, if you don't already know this game's story, DO NOT start looking up videos and posts etc about it - just buy it and dive in.
I'm not sure about that percentage
Never mind the depths I was already on edge when I met the fucking crashfish
He's just happy to share some sulfur! and wanted a hug
The audio in this game really seals the deal. You're just swimming along collecting resources and hear a terrifying roar. But you look around and can't see where it came from... Do you keep going or nope the fuck outta there and go take a breather in your life pod for 20 mins while your heart rate comes back down?
This is one of my personal favorites and the one that introduced me to the crafting/survival genre. I highly recommend it.
Same here!
Do you have another recommendation? Preferably something with multiplayer and would be even cooler if it has a server I can host!
I really liked Grounded.
I haven’t tried it yet, but Abiotic Factor looks pretty fun and has great reviews. It’s early access though.
Hadn't heard of that one... it's like a survival builder set in Half Life 1 lol. Wishlisted!
The Forest is a good multiplayer survival crafting game, with a pretty cool story. The sequel is also already out I think.
Just to throw a few other options on the pile:
Not multiplayer, but Green Hell is also fantastic.
Should I also get the Below Zero bundle?
Depends on what you want. If you want more of Subnautica story then get it. If you want more Subnautica style going into the depths, Below Zero doesn't go that deep and about half the game is actually above water. While I loved Subnautica I felt pretty disappointed by Below Zero.
Absolutely. Below zero is more story oriented but still great.
It's such a great game. The entire mood of the game and the sound effects and music is so good
