I feel like Subnautica was such a good exploration game that I don't know if anything else will ever really compare.
Actually, from what I watched of my partner playing Breath of the Wild, that looked pretty dang solid too.
The big thing that both of these had was the sensation that if you just picked a direction and started moving, you'd run into *something* new and interesting.
@starkatt Subnautica was designed, most exploration games aren't. It shows.
@Doephin yeah being not procedural was a big part of why it succeeds.
