Subnautica 2

WHY IS THERE NO "GIVE UP BUTTON" I HAVE BEEN DROWING FOR 30 MINUTES! I AM CURSED WITH IMMORTALITY. ADD A GIVE UP BUTTON TO YOUR SURVIVAL GAME!

Honestly, I’m extremely disappointed. I was genuinely hyped to finally get my hands on this title and experience the underwater world with friends. Unfortunately, the experience so far has been incredibly UNDERWHELMING. The lack of content and meaningful updates is honestly astounding. I understand that this is an Early Access game, and I’m not expecting a fully finished product. But having virtually no major content releases since launch is hard to understand. At this point, it feels like the game has been left to stagnate while the playerbase continues to wait for something substantial. After hearing about the $250 million lawsuit victory, I honestly assumed that some of those resources would go toward heavily investing in the development of this game. Yet, from a player's perspective, I have seen very little evidence of that investment actually making its way into the game. What’s arguably even more disappointing is the way the developers have responded to their own community. Players have been very vocal about the issues, the lack of content, and the changes they want to see. Instead of listening to that feedback and working toward meaningful improvements, being told to simply “go play another game” is incredibly discouraging. The developers seem to have completely lost touch with the community that supported them and helped get this game where it is today. They’ve lost a lot of goodwill and support from their fans, and honestly, it’s just sad to watch. There is still so much potential here, which is what makes the current state of the game even more frustrating. I genuinely want this game to succeed, but the developers need to start showing the same level of commitment to the game that their players have shown to them.

this game is fun but it also terrible good idea put into action terribly theres danger but you dont get scared like you use to no fear factor in it plus cant kill things 5/10

2/10

I picked this up thinking it was going to be Subnautica.. instead its a neutered weakened version of the game. Its not survival and exploration, its some twisted subversion to this alien world at the expense of the humans that arrive. You cannot kill or harm anything even in self defense. Your player must die to ensure no fishies are not hurt.

it feels like a tech demo. first game was like 8000 meters deep? this one is 400... one crappy vehicle. empty enviroment. no way to defend yourself. my BIGGEST problem is with who bought the company, then fired the main developers and then put off early access for another year at our expense just to screw the dev team. just stay away

This is subnautica, but with a heavy side of AAA slop. The devs push political ideas over immersion (pacifism), so that you cannot harm any of the wild fish. This ruined the immersion for me completely. (I did not even kill fish in the original.) The unique subnautica look was replaced by the Unreal Engine look. Everything looks glossy, smooth, with a lot of bloom, not rough and wild like the original. This also made the ocean much brighter and less scary, which ruined the immersion even more. The gameplay is not bad, and the story is great, but I couldn't get immersed in the game, like I could in both the original and SBZ. This game is easily the least enjoyable of the three for me, and will stay that way unless the developers do a complete 180.

Subnautica 2 is a huge disappointment. The developers seem extremely ignorant of what players actually want, and some of their decisions are just bizarre. It’s especially weird that you can’t even kill fish. I understand that the game is focused on exploration and survival, but completely removing something that basic makes the world feel much less natural and interactive. Overall, it feels like the developers are ignoring player feedback and making unnecessary restrictions instead of improving the game.

Fun game and a great sequel to Subnautica 1 however I cannot recommend this game because the developers don't care about the game enough their sole focus seems to be on attracting streamers by adding multiplayer features not the game itself. I hope I'm wrong and I can come back and eat my words.
