One of the scariest non-horror games ever made. The first time you hear a Reaper, you'll never forget it. A superb survival game with none of the frustrating aspects that often plague the genre. Highly recommended and should be preserved for posterity.
Subnautica is absolutely one of my favorite games. The atmosphere and story are on-point. I love the feeling of exploring the depths, and there is some real terror to be found. I would snatch it up on GOG in a heartbeat to get an offline installer I could use with my mod library forever. This is one of my dream gog games
Subnautica was my first real pc game next to minecraft, I've had so much much fun playing it. one of favorite pc games that opened the door for my love of computers in general. Would love to own it DRM free and play for years to come.

Subnautica to gra, która od pierwszej minuty wciągnęła mnie bez reszty. Już na starcie, kiedy zanurzyłem się w głębiny tej obcej planety, poczułem nieodpartą mieszankę zachwytu i niepokoju – emocji, które stały się moimi codziennymi towarzyszami podczas eksploracji podwodnego świata. Co najbardziej urzekło mnie w Subnautica, to niesamowita dbałość o detale. Każdy zakamarek oceanu, od subtelnie oświetlonych raf koralowych, po mroczne i tajemnicze głębiny, został tak realistycznie oddany, że czułem się, jakbym naprawdę przemierzał nieznane wody. Odkrywanie starożytnych ruin, napotkanie egzotycznych, czasem groźnych stworzeń, a nawet spokojne momenty, gdy podziwiałem piękno naturalnych krajobrazów – wszystko to budowało we mnie niezłomne poczucie przygody. Mechanika gry również zasługuje na ogromne uznanie. Budowanie własnej bazy, zbieranie surowców i rozwijanie technologii stały się dla mnie prawdziwym wyzwaniem, które dawało ogromną satysfakcję z każdej pokonanej przeszkody. Każda decyzja miała wpływ na moje przetrwanie, co sprawiało, że gra była nie tylko angażująca, ale i emocjonująca. Jednak z czasem, zanurzając się coraz głębiej w mroczne rejony oceanu, poczułem, że Subnautica odsłania swoją mroczną stronę. To, co na początku zachwycało egzotyczną urodą, zaczęło przeistaczać się w arenę przerażającej grozy. Każdy cień, każdy niespodziewany dźwięk budziły we mnie uczucie osamotnienia, a echo własnego oddechu przypominało o nieuchronnym zagrożeniu. Mrok głębin skrywał niewyobrażalny strach, który sprawiał, że granica między snem a koszmarem stawała się coraz bardziej rozmyta.
The first time I dove into the ocean and saw the majestic creatures. Also the crafting/survival aspect of the game combined with the mystery was gripping. This game is sorely needed to be preserved on GOG.

Why isn't this game on GoG yet? It is one of my fav underwater games. I didn't care for the follow on, but this one was nearly perfect in every way. Many biomes, great crafting, and great exploration.
I lost my balls playing this game. I have a fear of the ocean and this made it worse. I wish to unsee this and everything I did here, I am traumatized. I can never turn back. 10/10 would play again.
Those games also need your vote!

The player must lead the protagonist out of the dungeons and to the palace tower, defeating Jaffar and freeing the Princess in under 60 minutes.

Freelancer
FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.
