Subnautica: Below Zero

The feel of open ocean and beauty of original SubNautica is not here. Tunnels, tunnels, caves. Feels claustrophobic and repetitive. The story line is primitive too.

Instead of listening to the haters you should listen to the voice inside your head. If you see this game on sale buy it.

100%. A downgrade from it's previous game, but still satisfying and scary to explore. Went in blind, came out sighted or wtv. Definitely recommend to play If you played the first game!

[b]Subnautica: Below Zero![/b] Sou fã pra crlh do 1, um dos meus jogos favoritos, e o Below Zero é muito bom. Não é tão foda como o primeiro, ele perde uma certa "essência". Aquele medo do oceano e a vastidão do oceano ainda têm, mas não é tão sinistro quanto o primeiro. Ele adiciona umas ferramentas e coisas pra sua base a mais, nada que agrega muito, mas é legal. É bem menos bugado que o primeiro, graficamente, é bem superior. A história é [b]BEM[/b] melhor contada nesse jogo e bem mais massiva. Não gosto tanto dos veículos como no primeiro, sinto falta do submarino grandão foda, mas a motinha é dahora dms! Espero que tenha uma continuação ou alguma explicação do que aconteceu depois do final do jogo. Jogo gostosinho de jogar, pode comprar e se divertir bastante com esse game. E boa sorte se vc tiver talassofobia kkk.

i honestly dont get why people are mad about this game its wonderful

(Spoilers) The seamoth from Subnautica one is scrapped. You play as a cargo shipping lady, when you find out your black lesbian sister has gone missing. You struggle to navigate this underwater and above ground sub zero temps with a new shipping truck, that should operate more snake like but instead is a straight line only to find your sister has died due to the negligence of corporate greed. Once you get the prawn suit just use that as monsters will grab your truck from behind suck your face with teeth baring vaginas. The game play was ok the propulsion gun from the first game was useless, but new creatures and such so there's a plus. The propaganda in this game is obvious. Space is fake, "aliens" aren't here to help you, vaccines kill people, gay agenda, and I didn't enjoy the Indian accent az mutch az I tauwt I vould. :)

The negative reception stems mainly from Early Access and modern Subnautica: Below Zero is an incredibly fun journey. The leviathans in this game are not as PTSD-inducing as its older counterpart in my opinion, which makes it a good game for those too queasy to play the first. The story does not require a playthrough of the first to understand, though there are some references to the original Subnautica since this takes place on the same planet, 4546B. After 40 hours of playtime in Subnautica 2, completing its current state, I decided to try this game since it was the most forgettable experience, and poorly received amongst certain people for its diversion to a more story-focused game rather than a survive and escape the planet kind of game. The game features classic survival, hardcore and creative modes, but also 'freedom' mode, where you are in the survival state but do not have to manage water and food consumption, making the game very friendly to those who do not want to micromanage themselves. Focus on the exploring if you really want to! The game performs very well, but ensure you set the framerate properly, the default setting turns your computer into a PS4. The game looks beautiful even on medium graphics, so if you have to, change it and you will do just fine. There are also many accessibility settings that make the game far easier, and Nexus Mods houses some neat mods that diversify that even further. I am currently around halfway through the game, this experience is a lengthy one despite the map being roughly 1/4 smaller. It makes up for that though with its enhanced gameplay, new mechanics, devices and vehicles, and brings beloved classics back such as the Prawn Suit and its glorious features. The map is plentifully diverse to the point where you can distinguish different biomes even without being given a name for them. The story is solid...not much to say about it, still makes sense if you are a first-timer who did not play the original Subnautica. There are multiple stories within this one that all nicely intertwine with into one another. The Seatruck can be clunky since it is a literal truck, and it does not have all of the features I would like, such as a scanner room module, but the developers added the most imporant aspects to it such as storage lockers and others (to avoid just mentioning all the game's content in this review). Since launch, there is now a special Seadock you can park it and all its modules inside, which will automatically recharge it as well without the need of manual interference. It's fun to haul around this big mobile operations centre and it has no limit (as far as I am aware), so you could (and someone has) built one the length of a biome. Why? For fun. I have never (yes) used salt to craft anything in this game. #JusticeForSalt Subnautica: Below Zero is a strong 10/10 for me. The Subnautica series as a whole is 11/10, nobody can replicate the atmosphere, the love and care, the uniqueness and fun of these games. This is the peak of survival horror and underwater games, and I am ecstatic for Subnautica 2's next updates. ...especially the Trident (name pending), I loved the cyclops in the first game and I want another huge submarine to command!
