Raft

Raft starts you on a tiny raft in the open ocean, and you slowly build it into something bigger. Most of your time goes to collecting and crafting, with very little that needs fast reactions. It also scored a 3 for computer requirements.

Subnautica

Subnautica has you exploring an alien ocean, gathering materials and building a base. A lot of it is calm and easy to do at a steady pace. It loses points for the tense moments, which can pull your focus right when you dont want them to.

Which should you play?

Pick Raft for an easy game you can play at any pace. Pick Subnautica if you want more story and dont mind getting spooked on the treadmill. Slow down when things get tense, and keep your safety clip on.
