15 Best Open-Worlds You Probably Didn’t Play [2023 Edition]

Subnautica: Below Zero

Subnautica is one of the few games that manage to weave together an intricate story with spectacular survival gameplay, and the game garnered a huge fan following for those merits. Meanwhile, its sequel Below Zero has largely remained unappreciated in comparison, which is a shame because it takes the concepts of the original and crafts an even larger net of ideas this time around. With new vehicles to ride, mysteries to solve, and frigid biomes to explore – Below Zero is a massive survival game with plenty of quality content spread across its large open world. And the refinements it brings over the original makeup for a markedly better game, and it deserves to be experienced by every Subnautica fan.
