I’m talking about things like:
most realistic physics most aesthetically pleasing sea most fun to play most immersive (pun intended (I’ll sea myself out)) most activities available at sea most variety of sea going vessels
Games with impressive seas that I’ve played so far:
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey (Triremes and heaving seas) Just Cause 3 (Sparkling blue mediterranean seas) Sea of Thieves (Monsters and pirates) Sailwind (Gentle seas and actual sailing mechanics) Silent Depth 2 Pacific (Sneaky WW2 subs) Cold Waters (Sneaky modern subs) Uboat (Beautiful WW2 seas, rare shooting opportunities) Subnautica (Thalassophobia and crafting)
I’ve also noticed that Ships at Sea has just gone on sale. If you’ve played it recently was it any good?
I also need to add Fluffy Sailors which I bought today. So cute and so much fun :)

Yep exactly. I also didn’t like the hand-holdy waypoints, being told somewhere 1000m down there’s a facility is all I needed.
All the monsters are so easy to avoid with orchestrated attacks. The biggest baddest reapers of that game are just on rails and they give you a seatruck perimeter defense upgrade, which just makes every enemy extra harmless.
Also the story…
spoiler-title
you are sent down to find out what happened to your sister, then you just end up fucking off with a random alien and you dont even need to find anything out about your sister…
Oh I could not agree more with all of your points hahaha. I did like the seatruck more than the giant sea base in the first game (I never really used that…) but I also modded my seatruck so it wouldn’t go slower with more cars attached.
I gave the original Subnautica an 8/10 (on a real rating system, where 5/10 is an average game, not trash lawl) and I gave BZ a 6/10. It was good, but the original was amazing.
That’s exactly how I rate too! Doesn’t make sense a 7 is just an okay game and there’s no such thing as a 10 aha
Oh hell yeah! I like you. One of my biggest peeves is reviewers rating something a 6/10 as “okay but kinda bad.” For me, a 5/10 is a serviceable game that I enjoyed, but has some flaws. Not until like 4/10 do I rate “really flawed and needs much work”. I have tons of 5/10 games I really enjoyed.
I think I have three or four 10/10 games period, reviewers throw that out like parade candy!
