Subnautica and Planet Crafter.
The best “just one more thing!” games I’ve ever found. Huge chunks of time just disappear for me and the people that I’ve had play it. Very rewarding.
Subnautica simultaneously my favourite “I like build base” game and horror game.
I really like the open-ended gameplay loop with a structured narrative. Had way more story than I expected going into it.
Explain Subnautica. I have played a couple hours but I don’t get it. I picked up some fish and some other stuff. I did some crafting but I don’t know where the cool stuff happens. Can you build outside your ship?
The first 4 hours or so can be a bit rough because it doesn’t hold your hand much considering how big the game is and how much there is to do. I suggest focusing on surviving and following your radio messages for a new game, while crafting all your basic tools from the crafter as you follow the messages. Craft and use that scan tool. And by the time the radio messages run out, you’ll find some cool stuff 😁😁😁
And yes, you can build anywhere! The world is your oyster 🦪
Oh man. Thanks to you I’m now going to be up all night playing Planet Crafter, I garauntee it… Game definitely has that “Just one more exploration!” Or “You cant give up, you’re so close to the next tier just do it”.
Not sure if it’s the simplicity (which I initially disliked) or the absolutely no hand holding that I love about Planet Crafter, but this game has me hooked, and I cant wait to see the fruits of my labor.
