So as part of my Backlog this year, one of the games I started to play was Subnautica since @danfloydplus.bsky.social started playing it, and I didn't want spoilers. And as someone with moderate thalassophobia and dislike of survival mechanics, it was a struggle to start.

In fact, I restarted in "Freedom" mode where I didn't need to worry about food and water. And installed a few mods (like a map) that make it more of a exploration/crafting game as well. I know this changes a lot of the vibe of the game, but I'm enjoying it much more now.

It feels kinda wrong to push myself outside the intended experience, but it was one of those times where I wanted to enjoy the game more than I was. And so far, I'm glad I have.
