Games Like Death in the Water 2 (2026)

Shared: Thalassophobia

Crash-land on an ocean planet, then spend dozens of hours too scared to go deeper, but going anyway. Subnautica is survival-crafting with genuine dread and beauty.

Shared: Weapon Upgrading

An 86-rated origin story reboot that holds up as a tight third-person shooter with genuine survival-horror tension, let down by a multiplayer mode nobody asked for and even fewer people play.

Shared: tier:sub-5

Three modes, one free download, and a cheater problem that Team Jade is still chasing down nine seasons in. Worth your time if you squad up; rougher if you go solo.

Shared: tier:sub-5

Russian roulette with a 12-gauge and enough item-based mind games to make pure luck feel like a skill issue. Dirt cheap, brutally short, weirdly hard to put down.

Shared: Horde Mode

If your idea of a good shooter is holding W and left-clicking, DOOM Eternal will humble you fast. This is a combat puzzle that rewards aggression, resource discipline, and movement tech above all else.
