When a whirlpool summons undead pirates and something vast beneath the waves, survival becomes the only goal. Gloom shields Runtar, a parrot terrorises Bawbaggins, and even a barrel of Chrisgles fails to soothe the deep. Sometimes victory means simply getting away.

After finishing Subnautica, I jumped straight into Below Zero—and found it far less challenging. With the Seatruck removing much of the survival tension, progression felt smoother, but also slightly less intense.

With Canton behind them, the party spends three quiet weeks at sea. As they sail toward the Feywild, Runtar reflects on what the town revealed, how his companions are changing, and whether kindness and attention might matter more than strength in the world ahead.

The fighting is over, but Canton hasn’t noticed. As the town smiles and carries on, Runtar struggles with what they chose not to say, how Gloom has changed, and what it means to leave a place that feels wrong behind.

Bought for my six-year-old, SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide ended up being more enjoyable and more complicated than I expected, with tricky button sequences leading to plenty of repeated sections.

I wasn’t sure I liked Subnautica, but I couldn’t stop playing it, frustrating at first, then addictive once the story and goals finally fell into place.
