Unbridled Capitalism, whatever could go wrong

Incredible, one of the best survival/exploration games I have played. A lot of people seem to get low-key horror vibes from this, which is understandable (godspeed to players with thalassophobia), but I was mostly just in awe this entire time. The atmosphere is to die for, the underwater scenery is breathtaking, the gameplay systems have just the right amount of depth without being convoluted, the sense of player progression is continuously strong and contrasted nicely with the increasingly bizarre and hostile deep sea biomes, even the writing and scenario are impressive. I wish I had a PC to play this, however, because the game has a few frame rate and asset pop-in issues on the PS4 Slim. Even so, this was a winner from start to finish, a source of countless, unforgettable moments of confronting the unknown.

One of the most wholly rewarding survival games out there. Everything feels legitimately earned in this one.
