Don’t play in pure survival mode… Play where water and food are not needed and you’ll have plenty of time for Subnautica.

Regrettable_incident@lemmy.world 2 days agoYeah I’ve meant to play subnautica but I only really have time to game for an hour or so in the evening and seems like subnautica might take more commitment.
Played soma. Liked it, liked the atmosphere and the end a lot.
Haven’t played outer wilds - I’ve heard the recommendations, somehow mostly avoided spoilers. I know I should but seems like first part takes a while and I’ve not got past it. Maybe it should play that next.

Yeah, that’s fair enough about Subnautica. Might be worth trying with a trainer or something to just bypass the grinding and still experience the rest, tho.
As for outer wilds… Definitely worth giving it a shot, imo. The first bit is indeed a bit long, but shouldn’t be longer than an hour, tbh. And after that the game autosaves quite often and even when you quit, afaik. Should be more than fine for short sessions.

I’m thirding Alien: Isolation, one of the best horror games ever made and a really loving tribute to the movies as well. On console they even had a feature where the alien listened in on you through the microphone and would hear if you made a noise. Not sure how it played out in practice as I didn’t play it on console but sounds rad.
The Outlast games are also frequently brought up as great horror games. I haven’t played them myself but have seen them played by others. Look pretty good, though a little more jumpscare heavy. Still atmospheric though.

Came here to mention the first Outlast game, it is extremely good, and not a super long time commitment. Also seconding Subnautica which someone else mentioned, that was truly horrifying - I want to say it took me 25-35 hours to beat that one.
