So there's a game called Subnautica, and it is one of the best exploration/story games I've played. It's about crash landing on an alien planet that is almost fully ocean, and trying to survive and escape. What's really good about this game is the immersion. You jump into the ocean, surround by fish, in a biome/environment never seen before. There are fish and predator fish, new colours and stuff.

In the beginning it's quite scary, not because the game makes it scary, but because its super realistic and immersive. Big ocean, you can't see farther then a couple meters, you have no idea what's out there. It's like being in a real ocean. Later on, you encounter predators and big fish and start to get used to the theme. There's a lot of biomes in the game, and all of them look really, really nice. There's one that stands out called something like the blood vine biome, and there's roots that go from the ocean bed up, covered with red patches of oil. Even though it looks creepy, it looks aesthetically nice.

The game got a DLC, which is more like a sequel. This time it's set on an ice planet, covered with ice, snow and animals according to that environment. It's only in early access right now, so I'm going to wait for the full release and buy it then.
