I’m talking about things like:

most realistic physics most aesthetically pleasing sea most fun to play most immersive (pun intended (I’ll sea myself out)) most activities available at sea most variety of sea going vessels

Games with impressive seas that I’ve played so far:

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey (Triremes and heaving seas) Just Cause 3 (Sparkling blue mediterranean seas) Sea of Thieves (Monsters and pirates) Sailwind (Gentle seas and actual sailing mechanics) Silent Depth 2 Pacific (Sneaky WW2 subs) Cold Waters (Sneaky modern subs) Uboat (Beautiful WW2 seas, rare shooting opportunities) Subnautica (Thalassophobia and crafting)

I’ve also noticed that Ships at Sea has just gone on sale. If you’ve played it recently was it any good?

    Either Subnautica or AC Black Flag. Odyssey’s water gameplay sucks balls compared to Black Flag.

    Alternatively, Raft is quite nice

      I really wanted to like Raft, but the game just felt kind of shallow and on-rails in actual gameplay compared to Subnautica.

        Raft only truly shines when you play it with friends. Otherwise it gets old real fast. But with a crew of 3-4 chaotic people on board it’s a ton of fun!
