Skip the teasers and trailers (AND DON'T READ THE WIKI) - Subnautica is a game about exploration.

Not only do you explore the deepest depths of an alien ocean, but the deepest reaches of the human psyche as you grapple with imagined fear in an unknown and dangerous environment.

I have little patience for survival games, so I was beyond surprised when I could not put the game down for months. At least, until I remembered this is the same excellent team that brought us Natural Selection I and II.

The story is at a choose-your-own pace, and the narrative (delivered through Radio and iPad-like messages) is crafted to tantalize you into exploring further and further out of your comfort zone. You're free to be distracted by all of the amazing life around you, with the construction of your undersea base, or focus on the intrigue of a planet subtly gone wrong.

Good luck - you'll want to open this time capsule and it will be an experience you'll never forget.
