Visually, Subnautica is absolutely beautiful, with unique and innovative biomes as well as mesmerizing alien sea creatures. Accompanying this is an equally impressive soundtrack that immerses players in the game ambiance and adds emotional depth to the gameplay, making every encounter, whether with a cutie pie or a massive leviathan, all the more memorable. Speaking of cuties, there is an array of adorable aquatic life forms that truly captured by heart. From the endearing peeper to the hoverfish, rabbit ray, and cuttlefish, these cute creatures brought so many moments of joy and delight in the midst of the game's challenges. Especially being able to put them in the alien containment tank of my bases.
The true pinnacle of Subnautica's marvels lies in the awe-inspiring presence of the Sea Emperor and her babies, a creature of unparalleled majesty.
In addition, I also thoroughly enjoyed the underwater base building this game has to offer. It was so much fun exploring the different biomes in search of the perfect spots for my bases. I spent much more time making my bases than I'd like to admit, but it was fully worth it.
In essence, Subnautica is a testament to the beauty and mystery of the deep sea, offering an unparalleled adventure that I will never forget.

Hollow Knight is truly a masterpiece of a game with a beautifully crafted world, stunning visuals everywhere you go, and an incredible soundtrack, creating a mysterious and immersive experience that is both visually and audibly captivating. This game is also extremely rewarding as the boss fights feel difficult, but also very possible with practice. The precise controls also make every movement and battle feel incredibly satisfying. In addition, the storytelling is incredible and is done through subtle environment cues, dialogue, and visuals. There are so many memorable characters that you meet throughout the game with vibrant and unique personalities, making the world feel even more dynamic and immersive. Whether it is the wise Elderbug, the quirky and endearing Cornifer, the tragic and mysterious Quirrel, or the rather sexy Nightmare King Grimm, every character adds depth to the player's journey through Hallownest.
The character that truly made my experience go from amazing to absolutely incredible was the Grimmchild. His presence added a layer of companionship and loyalty, creating a sense of camaraderie in the midst of the game's challenges. Whenever I had the Grimmchild with me, I felt like the most unstoppable and totally cute duo ever, making every encounter feel like a joint triumph. One of the most remarkable aspects of the Grimmchild is the way he evolved and grew stronger as I progressed through the Grimm Troupe expansion, giving me the motivation to complete the ritual by fighting Nightmare King Grimm, which ended up being my favorite fight in the game. Not to mention the Grimmchild's endearing animations and sweet sweet sounds alone were enough to make me fall in love with this character. Acting as a parental figure to the Grimmchild and being with him through his childhood just created such a strong emotional connection between me and him, so much so that I sobbed when I saw a fan art piece depicting the Grimmchild visiting the Knight's grave at the black egg. This beloved companion made this game go from a 4.99 to a 5 to me and made my journey through Hallownest even more memorable.
There is sooo much more I could say about this game, but I will stop there.
