Thanks for the advice about Below Zero!
It does sound like I'd like it the same if not more. I had no idea subnautica had plot more than just escape and I found the lore and storytelling to be incredibly compelling. If it's got more of that then I'm definitely on board!
And a third game in the works is very exciting. I like that it's a shared universe with natural selection 2. That was a fun game too!
I'm so hyperfocused on starfield and it's not even a good game. It's like being obsessed with playing in an abandoned construction site 🙃
