I kinda wish the game would detect modding, or the easymode at minimum, and hold the achievements. I don’t particularly care one way or the other, but some soulslike-folks probably will get their panties in a twist for dilluting the global achievement-stats… maybe? But oh well.

The exploration aspect is pretty cool, there’s hidden tomb-dungeons etc everywhere. Other games where I’ve felt exploration was fun were Skyrim, Cyberpunk and (similarly to you) Subnautica.
