20 Stunning Open World Game Areas That Left You SPEECHLESS

18. The Lost River (Subnautica)

Subnautica is a game that makes exploration one part exciting and three parts terrifying. Delving deeper into this alien sea is the kind of nightmarish experience only a video game could create. Still, there are, naturally, benefits to overcoming your fears, like making your way to The Lost River for the first time. 

This biome is an absolute marvel, as the bizarre fauna and overall green tint make the place feel eerie, and yet beautiful at the same time. Plus, you have to dive incredibly deep to get to it, which makes it feel all the more like some lost other world. It would be remiss as well not to mention the Ghost Leviathans roaming the area, as their blue, bioluminescent bodies really capture their namesake, making the whole place feel ghostly. 

Perhaps the most Earth-shattering moment, however, is when you reach the Bone Fields and find the Gargantuan Fossil. Oh, god, this absolutely mammoth skull is sure to send you into a sea of awe, as it absolutely dwarfs the same Leviathans you've been so afraid of up until that point. There's always a bigger fish, but this one might once have been the biggest.
