No Man's Sky

Lavish presentation

A near-infinite procedurally generated universe where you hop freely between vivid alien planets, gather resources, build bases and upgrade your ships. Years of free updates have turned it into a relaxed sci-fi sandbox with optional co-op.

Raft

Resources and survival

You begin on a tiny raft in the middle of the ocean, collecting debris, expanding your floating home and exploring islands while sharks circle. Solo or in co-op, survival turns into a laid-back crafting and discovery voyage with a mysterious story.

Astroneer

Distinctive, stylised art style

As an astronaut you explore colorful planets, reshape terrain like clay with your terrain tool, and build bases with automated production chains. A relaxed mix of discovery, gathering and tinkering, solo or in co-op.

cyubeVR

Vast, open spaces

A VR voxel sandbox set in an endless procedurally generated world where you gather resources, craft and build freely. Roomscale VR controls and a dynamic day/night cycle make the building feel immersive.

The Flame in the Flood

Resources and survival

A raft journey down a procedurally generated river through a flooded, abandoned America, where you scavenge, craft and avoid predators. The survival struggle is backed by a moody folk soundtrack and a bold illustrated look.

Stranded Deep

Resources and survival

After a plane crash you're stranded in the Pacific, scavenging scattered islands for food, water and shelter while building rafts and fending off sharks. Its UI-light, physics-based crafting and beautiful yet dangerous ocean setting define the experience.

Subnautica

Resources and survival

Stranded on an ocean planet, you dive ever deeper into a gorgeous yet terrifying alien sea. You build bases and submarines while piecing together the planet's mystery, and the dark depths themselves become the real source of dread.

Make Sail

Resources and survival

You build your own ship piece by piece and sail it across a dangerous ocean full of storms and beasts. Each better part you find lets you make the vessel bigger, faster and distinctly your own.

Prologue: Go Wayback!

Resources and survival

A single-player survival roguelike where you push through a freshly generated wilderness each run, managing weather, cold and terrain. Every journey becomes its own emergent story.
