Hey all, I’m on the hunt for games that really suck you into their world, the kind where you look up and suddenly three hours have gone by.

Games I’ve loved and couldn't put down:

  • Plague Tale
  • Horizon
  • Subnautica
  • Mass Effect
  • Expedition 33
  • Homeworld

Doesn’t matter the gente, as long as it’s got that vibe where you just exist in the atmosphere and forget about everything else.

What are your go-to games when you want to disappear into another world? Bonus appreciation if it’s something underrated or off the beaten path.

Edit: Thank you all. I will definitely keep this thread bookmarked. You all dwarved what I found on Reddit ir any other platform! Well done!

I completed Subnautica thrice. A normal, a vegetarian and a speed run. 😄 So awesome!

I will check out The Invincible. Thanks.

Gris is done and dusted. Hot recommendation. Such a great game. Thanks for reminding me.

Oxenfree... I saw it many times. Never have it a chance. Maybe now...

Definitely try Oxenfree, I've played it twice and also played the sequel (which is great but the first one is better imo)

It's an amazing story, very original and immersive, I wanted to figure out what the hell was going on the whole time. Plus the soundtrack is great too.

Let me know what you think of them if you end up playing them, I'm always curious to read what others think of games I love.

Kinda late but astrometica is like subnautica but in space. It's still in early access and needs a bit of work, but I couldnt stop playing for about a week

Thank you. Looks awesome. The vibe of Subnautica is unbeaten for me so far. What would I give up experience that again.

"[Whooosh] ... ... Neptune 1 Rocket - online."

"Ready to launch on your command, captain."

"We are different, but we go together."
