When Subside first arrived on PlayStation VR2 and SteamVR, it quickly established itself as one of the most convincing underwater experiences available in virtual reality. Rather than focusing on survival mechanics or typical game concepts, Subside's solo developer has instead created a diving simulator that simply captures the wonder, serenity, and occasional fear inherent in exploring the waterways of our world.

With the arrival of the Makoa Shelf expansion, which the developer describes as the game's largest environment yet, Subside is even better than ever. I've spent the past week exploring the game both alone and with my kids, and it's immediately become a favorite activity in our house. To put it succinctly, Subside and the Makoa Shelf expansion are breathtaking experiences and a must-buy for every VR player.
