Screw Sony.

An absolutely amazing, breathtaking game. From calm exploration and base building, to heart-pounding action and narrow escapes from gruesome deaths, this game has it all. Dive ever deeper and uncover mysteries of this wonderful game!

An amazing game! This is not just a simple mod, it's a full-fledged RPG experience that Skyrim could only have dreamed of being. Convincing characters, quests with impactful resolutions, genuine moral choices. Do not miss this one!

A really good game! Somewhat different from the original, so as long as you set your expectations accordingly you should have a good time:
- generally, more of the same, but with some twists
- the difficulty is lower
- there are fewer leviathans, they are smaller and less scary; mostly due to this it doesn't have as strong horror vibes as the original
- more underwater sources of oxygen make exploration easier
- the protagonist is voiced, and there is much more speaking during the course of the game
- seamoth and cyclops are out, seatruck is in (a worthy substitute IMO)
- a lot more things to create and upgrade: more tools, more base parts, more vehicle parts

In addition to the above, environments are as beautiful as ever, and game directions as vague as ever. Just don't expect 1-on-1 copy of the original Subnautica, and you should have a blast.

Great rendition of the tabletop game, and works well in multiplayer!

For an actual lovecraftian feel, play this game! Essentially a walking simulator where you can easily die, short and sweet. Would love to try it out with a VR set.

Insanely addictive! Though the game seriously needs some of the DLCs (like Utopia) to gain better replay value.

A really cool, atmospheric platformer, with nice puzzles. Shows, doesn't tell. Lets you imagine your own backstory.

This is the most fun I've had in a multiplayer FPS in a long time. A part of it is the GitS surroundings, but the larger part is the dynamics of the game, the skill/skillsync system, and modding weapons.

Currently there are three game modes - Team Deathmatch (self-explanatory), Demolition (somebody set us up a bomb), and Terminal Conquest. Out of these, Terminal Conquest is the most interesting one, with teams vying for terminals ("flags") on the map that have to be conquered in certain order, and a companion tank (Tachikoma!) that appears as help for the team which manages to capture a terminal.

The game is in the early access, and thus suffers from some problems (too few players, lag spikes, and others), but the devs seem to be active and respond to community comments.

Personally, for 5 EUR I got so far ~40 hours of great fun, and am very much looking forward to open beta and an influx of new players.

If you're a fan of Lovecraft and a fan of Doyle's Holms, than this is the game for you. Just don't expect a masterwork.

Adventure-wise, the game is not that engaging. The puzzles are either obvious and straightforward, or a devil to solve. But on the rare occasions when the balance is struck, the game really flows nicely. In all other cases, there is quite a comprehensive in-game hint system/walkthrough, that only very rarely doesn't provide adequate answer.

But the reason I love this game is the mashup with Cthulhu mythos. While the delivery is a bit ham-handed and does not depict properly the creeping madness and true horror of Lovecraft, visual elements at the least finally bring to life some of the horrific scenes of the Mythos. There are so few games which have actually allowed us to take a walk through this setting, that it is worth playing Sherlock Holms: The Awakened just for this aspect.
