INCREDIBLE GAME! As someone who is fascinated by the ocean and sea creatures, this game was such an incredible experience for me. Subnautica is absolutely beautiful, with unique and innovative biomes as well as mesmerizing alien sea creatures. Accompanying this is an equally impressive soundtrack that really immerses you into the game 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. These cutie pies 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 and keep them as pets!
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. I also loved Subnautica Below Zero, but nothing compares to the first Subnautica and the feeling of mystery and unknowingness it has that Below Zero doesn't offer nearly as much of.

LOVE this game! Didn't even think I would enjoy it at first but I am SO glad I gave it a chance. 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 I wish I could go through again. This game is also extremely rewarding as the boss fights feel difficult, but also very possible with practice. The precise controls just make every movement and battle feel incredibly satisfying. In addition, the storytelling is incredible and is done through subtle environment cues, dialogue, and visuals which was really fun to discover and unpack. 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. Not to mention the Grimmchild's super cute 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. 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.
Only downside to this game is that no other metrodivana is able to scratch that itch for me because of the incredibly high expectations this game set.
Looking forward to Silk Song!

WOW! This game has become one of my absolute favorites at the moment. Its potential for limitless creativity in construction is astounding due to the incredible level of detail you can incorporate. Additionally, the animals are well-animated, and the babies are SO darn cute. I adore the fact that you have the ability to give them names. However, this connection often results in me forming emotional attachments with them, making it genuinely heartbreaking when they eventually pass away, haha.
While certain aspects of zoo management, such as guests being displeased by staff facilities, can be annoying, the option to disable these features is available.
Overall, Planet Zoo is an outstanding game that is right up my alley, and I could easily spend thousands of hours in it.

So much childhood nostalgia! The endless roleplaying possibilities with friends made this game so much fun and one of my favorites back in the day. My childhood best friend and I still talk about the countless memories from Go Vacation :)

Would be 4, but the nostalgia makes it a 5. Was my absolute favorite game as a kid and was such a fun way for my dad and I to spend time together. The music, locations, and expansive variety of fish to catch made this such a memorable game.
