I just finished my playthrough of Subnautica. (Also on PS4, Switch, and X-bone.) It's pretty cool.
Basic gist, the starship you were on crashes on an alien world that is almost entirely ocean and you have only what's on your lifepod and what you can find on the planet itself in order to survive and, ultimately, escape. Lots of exploring, lots of crafting, some base-building, vehicles. There's a story line, which is mostly (but not entirely) through PDA logs you find, radio messages you receive, and scans you do of things as you play.
And, of course, almost the entire thing is underwater. I don't know what it is about video games that take place mostly underwater, but I just really like them. Any game that lets you do stuff in underwater environments, even if it's not necessarily the main focus of the game, is cool, in my book (e.g. Aquaria, Ecco, Minecraft, and such).
Now I'm just waiting for the sequel to come out of Early Access (and, of course, to hit a sale similar to the one I got for the original). (EDIT 2) And if you care, here's my post about the sequel, as well. (/EDIT 2)
Oh, and here's a Cuddlefish (with my base in the background), eggs for which you can find and hatch:
