What is the best Sea based game out there in your opinion? (fedia.io)

I'm talking about things like:

most realistic physics most aesthetically pleasing sea most fun to play most immersive (pun intended (I'll sea myself out)) most activities available at sea most variety of sea going vessels

Games with impressive seas that I've played so far:

Assassin's Creed Odyssey (Triremes and heaving seas) Just Cause 3 (Sparkling blue mediterranean seas) Sea of Thieves (Monsters and pirates) Sailwind (Gentle seas and actual sailing mechanics) Silent Depth 2 Pacific (Sneaky WW2 subs) Cold Waters (Sneaky modern subs) Uboat (Beautiful WW2 seas, rare shooting opportunities) Subnautica (Thalassophobia and crafting)

I've also noticed that Ships at Sea has just gone on sale. If you've played it recently was it any good?

I also need to add Fluffy Sailors which I bought today. So cute and so much fun :)

I enjoyed below zero but found the big moments weren't as big. Like I'd categorize Subnautica as an exploration horror survival crafting game for the first playthrough but then drop the horror for subsequent ones. I didn't really get the same sense of horror from below zero and don't think 2 could do it either.

The way the original dripped the information was an experience on its own, you know, the whole reason I'm being vague to not spoil it while being OK with using quotes like "Multiple Leviathan class life forms detected. Are you sure what you're doing is worth it?"

The second one didn't have that, even though they really expanded on a lot of things and did a great job at making a successor exploration survival crafting game, it didn't make me reel or feel like a hopeless situation just entered a whole new level of hopelessness. That experience is what I wish I could go back to but can't.
