Subnautica 2

Overall for an early access the game was good. I love that they are still rollin out fixes and updates to make the game more fun. I'm going to do the unthinkable and mention things I didn't like and how i hope they fix it or improve it in the future. Beacause it's early access i'm going to assume everything i mention is for the purpose of early access and changes later. I disliked the lack of building in early access. It felt as though there wasnt enough to even "test" very much of anything. I can only assume they were more focused on the rest of the game so this didn't bother me too much. Just felt like they went for a just throw your stuff in a square in check out all this cool stuff we laid out for you. I assume there will be more in the future. I cannot stand the hammerhead guys. i assume later there will be a way to kill them but for now all they do is keep ramming my base and i have nothing to defend it or shoe them away. maybe a shock knife just to get them away? or any of the old knives? I'd just love for them to stop blocking my scenery that i built my base by. The silver deposit you find closer to the end of the game is utterly useless. Everything can and probably is already made by the time you find it. Not sure if this was made specifically for speed runners but there was no purpose to it at least in my playthrough. Even if this becomes useful later there is no way to enjoy that much silver ore. Maybe make something silver can be turned into that you need a bunch for? Fuel source for a alien vehicle? I felt like the perk that helps you find your way back was very undervalued due to the marks you could leave on the map. It would be nice to see something that is truly a confusing maze so something like that has more benefit. Things I enjoyed was the upgrade system. It added a cool new flex on my friends where they needed me to show them where they were. Felt very metroid primey and i love that series. I also enjoyed not having to look up a guide to know where to find certain ores. it was quite refreshing to KNOW where things were on my own. Lastly multiplayer was really nice I enjoyed being able to bring my friends along and we all make our own houses. I watched the most recent developer blog and think pulling items out your teammates backpacks is cool. HOWEVER PLEASEEEEE make sure to allow a lock if I want so my teammates don't steal my last water :( All in all I would say this game Is a little too Early access. If I wasn't such a fan I would tell people to hold off and maybe wait a few more updates if they wanted to truly enjoy this game. At the moment someone who is new might find it a bit boring/frustrating. Ps i'll change my review later when it's a bit more done.

Can't kill anything with the survival tool, negative review till this is fixed.

Been playing game since release and im still stuck on breaking the angle comb with the feedback resenator the game is bugged theyve said time and time again in patch notes its fixed (its not) dont get the game until its free because there is not game .

Lacks content and until more interesting things are added, its a no for me.

Still not fully released, can only explore in one cardinal direction, constant lagging in specific areas, flares do not work on anything bigger than your tadpole, no direction on where to progress, the out of bounds creatures glitch and go in bounds to kill you, sometimes 100s of meters in and one tap you. Extra- After writing this I go back into the game with infinite oxygen, infinite dashing, and cannot interact with anything.

WAYYYYYYYYY tooo simular to subnautica, so if youve played subnautica ts will not be great, if you havent than its fun

"The world's still the same. There's just less in it." Pros: as with the original, a large and visually appealing world. I like that they created a narrative justification for teleporting back to your base when you die, which was a feature that took me out of my suspended disbelief in the first one. Generally better breadcrumbing on what you should be doing. More intuitive and flexible base-building, compared to the original. The [spoiler] giant clam [/spoiler] was cool. Mixed: Many gameplay elements are simplified compared to the original: instead of searching for and breaking open rocks and hoping to get the right metal, in this you have large clusters of metal just sitting there for you. Food doesn't go bad. Vital early game technologies are generally more easily findable. Predators take one bite then ignore you. Lockers share resources. I appreciated all these factors, while also missing the greater realism of the original. Cons: just less to see compared with the original. The original was full of all kinds of interesting, beautiful, and genuinely frightening undersea habitats plus a couple large islands plus an enormous multilevel cave system plus a large shipwreck to explore. The expansion added more fun and interesting habitats (icebergs, lily pads, crystal caves, etc.). This map is mostly 2-dimensional, and mostly monotonous. There just isn't as much variety to explore: you have shallow water, deep water, and hot water, without the kind of ecological diversity of the first game. Granted, this is early access, but I'm almost 20 hours in, and by that point in the first two games I had seen way more. Less to do: Again, the caveat that this is early access, but right now I just can't build nearly as much as in the original or the expansion. There's no prawn, no cyclops, no endless modularity of the sea truck. In the first my bases were way more large and elaborate, and I felt like there were entire branches of the tech tree that I never fully explored. In this, I feel like I've built everything that's currently available, and it's just a stripped back version of the first game. The core concept of the plot seemed okay, but several major plot elements are recycled from the original, and it just didn't grab me in the same way as the first. At a certain point the plot just transitions to tedious busywork. [spoiler]("Destroy a dozen of these! Great, now collect a billion ore!").[/spoiler] The expansion added new gameplay elements (cold effects, etc.); there's really not much at all new in this sequel. Some minor bugs. Some lagginess. Nothing in this game was as beautiful or as frightening or as awe-inspiring as the first game, or even the expansion. Most tellingly, while the first game also had sections that were frustrating and tedious, I completed it twice, and plan to do so again. In this game, I got probably 80-90% of the way through the existing material, and decided that I wasn't sufficiently motivated to complete it.
