10 Awesome 2018 Video Games You Probably Missed (So Far)

10. Subnautica

This outstanding open-world survival game is a beautiful mixture of wondrous deap-sea adventure and anxiety-inducing battle against the elements.

After crash-landing on an alien planet, the player is largely left to their own devices to explore this gorgeous yet eerily vast expanse. Even so, Subnautica doesn't merely rely on the player creating their own "emergent" experiences, and you're never too far away from the next story development if that's your prerogative.

Even so, the game heavily promotes exploration, and it's easy to pour literally dozens of hours into visiting even just a small chunk of what Subnautica has to offer.

The water effects are absolutely sublime - though sadly not everything is quite as splendid-looking - while the art direction, tone, abundance of survival mechanics and consistently intriguing narrative make this an immersive experience quite like nothing else.
