I hate big bodies of water and the "nothingness". This game knows exactly how to scare the shit out of me. I had an unfortunate encounter with a mesmer at 3 AM that made me turn off my PS5. I've also never run faster than after stepping into the Void and hearing the PDA go "Are you certain what you are doing is worth it?". I really love the eerie feeling this game has, especially on the earlier hours of a playthrough. Sadly, this kinda starts to fade away when you get some upgrades (and with that I mean the prawn suit). Game isn't as creepy when I can punch a Reaper Leviathan on the mouth, but it's still fun nonetheless.

There's some things about it I dislike (clunky menus, not being able to pin recipes, etc) but I'm pretty sure they were fixed on the sequel. I remember it having loads of bugs and performance issues on the PC, but it runs surprisingly well on the PS5. Overall, it was a really enjoyable experience.
