As someone who has a fear of the deep, this game actually took longer for me to get into than any horror game in my Steam library. The immersion and scale of the world is real. Even as a survival game, it's got a really cool story. The worldbuilding is fantastic and the music is very suiting to the atmosphere. Base building and vehicle customization is a cool way to give players a way to personalize their playthrough. However, I will knock a star off because even though it is a finished game, it still has its fair share of bugs and wonky movement (specifically when the player walks on land). Another reason for a star knocked off is because there are a lot of aspects in the game that you will need to search things up for, and are nearly impossible to find out on your own. Very large emphasis on exploration, even after 100 hours I haven't explored the entire map (gotta say that's mostly because my unexplored areas are non-essential to the plot and are home to the scarier creatures of the game). If you want to conquer your fear of the ocean, this is the game to do it in.
