I've had a great time playing some of the 'smaller' games lately: Dredge (adore this game so much), Dave the Diver, Cloudpunk, Stray, Octopath II, Observer.

What else would I like? That aren't roguelikes or crafting-building games (don't hate me, I tried to love Subnautica...as a diver I should love it, but the genre just isn't for me!).

Would love any suggestions!

Haven't played observer, but the aesthetic and horror aspect remind me of SOMA.

If you want something more action focused with a cyberpunk aesthetic, I can't recommend Distance enough. (If you need a pitch: racing game with horror and your car can fly). I also just started playing Severed Steel and I'm enjoying it a lot so far.

I will also concur with the other person who recommended Outer Wilds. Don't look up anything about it, go in as blind as possible, and try to see it through to the end. You will not regret it.

I wanted to love Soma, I tried playing twice now. I live for the ocean, so this should be right up my alley. But to be fair I never passed the apartment at the start.

I reaaaaally should stick with it and try again. Thanks for reminding me of my shame!
