As per title. Most computer games these days are made with such unnecessary padding that I want to murder the devs or myself by the end. See, for example, Hyrule Warriors, the 100% 1000 Hour Nightmare, the Review.

The second game I ever 100%ed was Arceus and I still can’t stand the thought of picking it up again, years later. The first game was Horizon Zero Dawn, which is still fun.

I got all but one achievement in Subnautica, and all of the achievements in Below Zero (the sequel) in my first playthrough of both games, just from taking my time and thoroughly exploring both of the worlds and completing the story without even consciously trying to go for the achievements.

With that said, they are open world games and at times don't really give you a whole of guidance as to what you need to do next. So you are kind of left to explore and figure it out on your own. If you don't like that sort of game you might end up hating them by the end too.

Do you recommend Below Zero? I loved subnautica so much but I generally think buying another game instead of an expansion is usually a better deal.

Absolutely magical game

It's made by a different team, but it's still Subnautica. I liked it, just understand it's not as good as the first.

Subnautica is AMAZING, an 8/10 for me. Absolutely stellar.

I enjoyed Below Zero. I gave it a 6/10, a good solid game. I absolutely recommend it if you enjoyed the first.

(I use the real rating scale like I rate movies, where 6/10 is a good game… not the bullshit “scale” that starts at 5/10 = shit game)
