About the game
You are a survivor of the starship Aurora, which crashed on planet 4546B, and you start with nothing but a single escape pod. Keeping an eye on oxygen, water and food, you mine minerals from the seabed to craft tools, then build the one-person Seamoth, the PRAWN Suit and the huge Cyclops submarine one after another to reach deeper water. You can build underwater bases in any shape you like, and the sea is layered into coral reefs, kelp forests and volcanic zones, so each depth brings different creatures and threats. You can choose Survival, Freedom with fewer survival needs, Hardcore where one death ends the game, or the unrestricted Creative mode, and it is a one-time-purchase game.
Why we recommend it
Crash-land in the ocean of an alien planet, gather resources and build subs and bases to survive. The scenery and the tension shift the deeper you go, which is why it is the first game we recommend to anyone looking for an ocean game.
Good for — anyone who wants a long expedition, slowly pushing deeper and building bases under the sea.
