Subnautica - Sony PlayStation 4 (PS4)

The crafting system hooked me almost as much as exploring the biomes—spending hours building a base near the jellyshroom forest was incredibly satisfying. Runs smooth on PS4 even with all the underwater lighting effects going on.

The moment you descend into that alien ocean and hear the reefback’s song, you’re hooked—it’s the most immersive survival game I’ve played on PS4. Crafting the Seamoth and exploring the biomes feels rewarding, and the disc arrived in perfect shape despite being "Very Good.

I’ve sunk about 30 hours into it and the crafting system alone is worth the price—you’re constantly scavenging for blueprints and materials just to keep your oxygen flowing. The sense of dread when a leviathan’s shadow passes over your seamoth is something I haven’t felt in a survival game in years.
