Yeah, you’re right. I had kind of forgotten about that part lol.

Even if you manage not to die in any of the horrific ways it’s still pretty violent.

There are more things to do than finishing the whole game the way it was intended, not every biome has a monster that can kill you.

You can swim with the pengwings, play with the sea monkeys, build a giant base in the starting area while playing in creative mode…, there might even be mods that completely disable the need to surface for air or make every creature passive so you can swim mwext to them in peace.

Hmm, some games with a strong female lead that I’ve played:

• A hat in time. Lovely 3D platformer

• Subnautica: Below Zero. Sequel to the original Subnautica but enjoyable without having played the first one. Loved both games.

• Gris

• Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice

• Kena: Bridge of Spirits

• River City Girls: Pixel art beat 'em up

• Horizon Zero Dawn

• The latest Tomb Raider trilogy

• Portal and Portal 2
