This ocean world survival game has as great atmosphere. learning new recipes and unlocking new areas and depths drives you to explore further, although fearful of what you might find or get lost in underground cave systems and drown.
    the game plot is mainly told through records you pick up and audio recordings until you get further in to the game. You can play and enjoy the game for hours simply crafting and expanding your base. you especially want to find a way to have a constant water and food supply, once you have that sorted you are free to progress or drag the plot as you feel free.

    The game is great but once you have completed the game there isn't as much re-play-ability as I would like as once you know where things are and areas to avoid you can easily set yourself up with little threat - knowing where to go and your limits.
    There is also a fair few glitches of note - your buildings can be seen through objects and landscapes, areas loading really slowly once there are lots of crafted objects in an area - as a result I had an instance where I glitched through a permanent wall and became stuck out of bounds, having to reload an older save.

    if you like open world and survival games I would highly recommend this game - I would like to give it a higher score but the glitches unfortunately mean a lower rating for me    … Expand

    Best open-world I have played in about a year. And best indie title for almost a decade! Great atmosphere, great graphics, attention to detail. Amazing what this little studio did with a small budget, compared to "the big guys". They made a competitive shooter called "Natural Selection 2" as well - be sure to check it out if you like fast-paced FPS action. :-)

Its to irritating to constantly keep going up to take oxygen even tho you have a tank, it only lasts 20 seconds.... Im pretty sure they last a lot more than that - you can upgrade them but thats more farming...

    Easily one of my all time favourite games. For weeks I went to bed dreaming about this game. For all the right reasons the developers hit an emotional sweet-spot with this game; fear, loneliness, excitement, the thrill of discovery, and overwhelming curiosity. I don't give many games a perfect 10 but Subnautica was an experience I'll never forget.

Subnautica's crafting and base building mechanics are amazing, and I found myself building a base for probably around 5 hours straight, without getting bored.

    Subnautica's creatures are amazing, and also extremely terrifying, however I won't be spoiling anything in this review. Subnautica plays with the players fears incredibly, and that is the fear of the unkown. The deeper you go the darker it gets, and also the scarier the monsters get. I found myself going around the deep depths for probably around an hour at the slowest speed, just so that the great monsters couldn't hear me.

    However, I have one single complaint, and that's the story. I actually managed to predict nearly all of the story after only playing around 5 or 6 hours. That's the one complaint I have though, everything else is great.

    Subnautica is splendid isolation, warts and all

    I never had much patience for the open world crafting simulators before. Narrative games are my jam, and most of that genre, have little story. But at some point I stumbled over a trailer for Subnautica, and it stuck with me. That endless, light-flooded ocean was just so… beautiful. So after years of hesitation, I took the plunge.

    I never had much patience for the open world crafting simulators before. Narrative games are my jam, and most of that genre, have little story. But at some point I stumbled over a trailer for Subnautica, and it stuck with me. That endless, light-flooded ocean was just so… beautiful.
    So after years of hesitation, I took the plunge.

    Subnautica casts you in the role of the sole survivor of a spaceship crash occurring on a water world. Your task is to manage your oxygen, hunger and thirst meters, and make use of your star trek tech level replicator, digital blueprints and abandoned resources you find all over the handcrafted map to build yourself a rocket and fly home.

    The primary gameplay loop is you scrounging for things in ever more extreme environments. Food, resources, tech tree advances, all have to be picked up by hand, and fed into the replicator. There is a metroidvania like structure to it, because parts of the hand-crafted map are simply not accessible to you until you craft certain items or vehicles (oh yes, you don’t stay swimmer forever).

    Occasionally you might build a base, a process that is almost painless (the game engine sometimes is a bit picky about placements) and can be quite engrossing. I usually don’t get into this kind of thing, but I couldn’t resist plopping down a three story underwater dream house with a sun-flooded bedroom just because I could. It’s also useful to have small outposts at a few key locations in the game, and it gives a great feeling of accomplishment to slowly fill the map with little summer houses here and there.

    The secondary gameplay loop is all about exploring the map. Certain things you need to find are telegraphed, but at some point the game just takes the training wheels off and expects you to go adventuring on your own.

    On a third level of play, you have an actual plot, a rarity in this genre. It’s a little thin on the ground, more a seasoning and less the backbone of the game, but the writing is decent and even shows a sparkling wit now and then.

    All these modes of play are helped immensely by how pretty this game is and how excellent and immersive the traversal mechanics are. I have never seen a more convincing and entrancing simulation of diving and underwater exploration. The lighting is great, the flora and fauna are strange and fascinating, and getting around in it is a joy, whether you are swimming, driving a submarine or stomping around in a giant robot suit.

    It also bears mentioning that for me at least, the game had a very satisfying ending. That’s not nothing these days.

    Not everything works as well, though: Some fauna are supposed to be dangerous, but overtime their threat diminishes. The ocean surface looks terrible when seen from a distance, which, coincidentally, isn’t possible all that much. A few locations look a little goofy or sparse, which leaves a few scratches on the immersion.

    And then there are the poor optimization and the bugs: Texture Pop In was a pretty consistent and pretty annoying problem in some regions of the map. On occasion, the game suddenly thought I was on dry land when I was actually swimming in the ocean. Once, that actually left me stranded in a place I could only get out of with the help of the developer console. This didn’t destroy my enjoyment of the game, but it wrung a few sighs of exasperation from me.

    The production values are mostly very high: I already mentioned the strong art direction, but it bears repeating: the world the player moves through is a beautiful work of art. The soundscape is appropriately sparse and very immersive. There is even voiced dialogue on occasion, and the voice work... It’s fine. Nothing special, but it does the job.

    All in all it’s just a joy to exist, survive, scavenge and build in this world. Having a concrete goal to work towards is great, but that’s not the main attraction of this game. Having this gorgeous little world all to yourself is.

    TLDR: The ultimate Robinson Crusoe experience, despite minor and more than minor blemishes. If this sounds good to you, I recommend you play this game.    … Expand

Suffice to say that the game has some incredible moments, and should be experienced by anyone who appreciates great atmosphere and storytelling.

    The game is terrifying at times. It's not the typical type of fear in horror games, it's more the feeling that you could be caught anytime and killed any second, while giving you the feeling that you escaped by the skin of your teeth. It's really something that must be experienced, and it's one of many great sensations the game gives you.

    The game has some niggles, the biggest of which is the game's barriers in certain spots which can glitch out and trap you forever. It's not a huge issue, but worth mentioning. The game also has some performance hiccups, especially if you go very deep, but it's hardly a deal breaker.

    If you have ever enjoyed a survival game in your life, play Subnautica. If you enjoy horror games or games with scary atmospheres, play Subnautica. This game is far from perfect, but it's a very special and unique experience, one I wish I could have again. One of the best games of the decade.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. ------ SPOILERS ------
    tl;dr:
    Beautiful game, incredible, gripping story - I strongly recommend it!

    You watch a small cutscene laying the plot for the story, it drops you straight into action, you wake up in a burning escape pod, death is imminent but you struggle free from the seat and extinguish the fires. You open the hatch and observe the seemingly infinite horizons of water, next to the giant spacecraft which has seeming disturbed this environment's rest.

    You dive into the blue abyss to discover the friendly shoals and the schools of fish brushing past you. It looks beautiful.

    PROS:

    In turns of the game's graphical elements, it really sticks out in a great way, mostly due to lighting effects. I am honestly intrigued as to what it would look like with RTX Ray-Tracing because I'm sure it would look very similar to this. The deeper you go, the darker it gets, when "night falls" the red rays of the nearby planet light up the night sky.

    The game relies largely on exploration, this puts the player out of their comfort zone and even sometimes introduces some horror aspects which are executed amazingly, I was on the edge of the seat for some of the deeper zones. This may not be for everyone but it worked for me even when I didn't know horror was involved, I personally loved the "heat of the moment" action.

    In terms of gameplay, the controls worked very well with them being preconfigured well without me needing to change much, but when I needed to, the menu of which to manage them was very easy to use.

    Creating and building a base underwater allows players to also let their creativity shine, whilst it also balances rewards with risks and requirements, such as reinforced walls to make sure integrity is up, so your base doesn't flood under pressure, as well as the need for power to keep the lights on.

    Another thing this game absolutely nails is vehicles, Subnauitica, in total, offers 4. They remain balanced and yet they still come with risks and rewards, with things like vehicle health. These vehicles can be upgraded with craft able upgrades if you so wish to spend valuable resources on them.

    The game's story is one of the highlights for me, leaving you in awe in some places, with you scratching your head in others, the game's lore can be very interesting at times, not delving too deep to the point where you overthink things but still allowing you to let your imagination and theories run wild as you progress in the game.

    CONS:

    Bugs - I experienced a bug which got me stuck in a wall thanks to the prawn suit in a stage late in the game, in turn I had to learn console commands and I actually had to god into noclip mode to save my game before I fell into the void.

    Lack of multiplayer features - when I picked this game up I expected multiplayer features but it lacked it which was a real bummer for me and my friends. However, due to the game's wonderful community, developers have been working on multiplayer options for Subnautica, thank god!

    Conclusion:

    In conclusion I feel that the pros outweigh the cons massively, so I have to recommend picking this game up. The price for it is an absolute STEAL.    … Expand

    I really like these kind of games where you start with nothing so you go out exploring and gather stuff to build a base and upgrade things in order to be able to explore further. When it comes to those kinda games I'd say this is one of the better ones.

    There's definitely flaws to it though, like the small inventory and how long time it takes to travel after a while when you need to go far and deep. There was also times for me when I had absolutely no clue of where to go, even though I really tried to pay attention to the storytelling.

    I've seen a lot of complaints about bugs, to my understanding most of it should be fixed by now, but not completely, The worst thing that happend to me was when I clipped out of bounds with the robot suit while being waaay down with the cyclops and everything, this caused the water physics to stop working and it didn't go back to normal until I killed myself, leaving all my stuff down there.

    It has nice graphics, but I got bored about halfway through the game. Every mission seems to be the same - you get a mayday signal, run to the lifepod, but are too late and everyone is dead.

    The game is far "easyer" than one thinks at the start but the intensity of the unknown surroundings with creepy noises and scary creatures makes it feel like you have to be extremly carefull.
    After playing through the game once I don't think there is a lot of replay value because the intense feeling is just not there anyomre and the novelty is also gone.

    Subnautica - пожалуй, лучшая в своём жанре, и одна из лучших игр в принципе. Со времен ранних релизов в игре изменилось почти всё, и изменилось в ЛУЧШУЮ сторону. Разработчикам низкий поклон за оптимизацию, апгрейды геймплея и механики, сильный сюжет и потрясающую атмосферу!

    В чем отличительная особенность Сабнаутики? В её глубине! :) Фактически мир здесь не очень большой, однако проработка каждого биома и вовлеченность каждой локации в геймплей просто поражает. Иные игры можно исследовать процентов на 20% и уже пройти сюжетку. Здесь не так. Subnautica высторена таким образом, что весь её мир значим и для сюжета, и для выживания. Каждый добытый кусочек ресурсов сыграет свою роль. Каждая локация расскажет свою историю. А в финале всё выстроится в потрясающую целостную картину.
    При этом игра крайне реиграбельна и нелинейна. Начинаем мы в "ламповом" и очень дружелюбном мелководье, по началу может показаться, что геймплей даже излишне прост и неагрессивен. Но стоит начать исследовать мрачные глубины, как тут же пропадает весь налёт детсадошности :) По мере погружения возрастают и опасности: к банальной нехватке воздуха и обезвоживанию добавляются перегрев от потоков магмы, радиация и жуткие монстры. Разнообразие враждебно настроеных существ велико - от маленьких хиртецов-паразитов до чудовищных левиафанов, способных лишить главгероя жизни в один миг. Не менее разнообразны доступные игроку технологии и инструменты выживания, ассортимент которых регулярно расширяется по ходу прохождения.

If they fixed the main issues, specifically the horrible pop-in and short view-distance I would absolutely bump my review score up another 2 points at least, because this game really is for me around an 8.5, because I love the terror of the deep, but until its technical issues are overcome I'd recommend approaching this one with caution.

    Overall this is an interesting game and initially pretty fun. However what dooms this game to a less than stellar score is the bugs and general lack of polish. Let's start with the bugs because these are the most game breaking.

    Later in the game you have to use the prawn suit to get around. The problem is that hit detection is so bad that it gets stuck on everything, including air.    Overall this is an interesting game and initially pretty fun. However what dooms this game to a less than stellar score is the bugs and general lack of polish. Let's start with the bugs because these are the most game breaking.

    Later in the game you have to use the prawn suit to get around. The problem is that hit detection is so bad that it gets stuck on everything, including air. Countless times I've been walking around and suddenly I can't move anymore. Nothing works. You can get out but getting back in solves nothing. Often you get stuck on scenery but I've gotten stuck walking down a hallway, on a beach, etc. It appears that the suit clips into the surroundings and you're stuck. The only workaround is to restart. It gets worse towards the end of the game where you are in tighter areas. I had to restart 5 times on the last area alone.

    Yet another issue with the prawn suit is that if you save while inside then often when you reload it flings you and the suit in a random direction. You won't stop until you eject from the suit at which point everything recovers. However once you're in this state you cannot recover without ejecting. In one case I was in a facility and reloaded and it did that. When I reloaded the suit was inside the walls bouncing around as it hit invisible walls. After several restarts it finally flung me out of the facility. But before I could eject I had already gone so far that I was outside the world itself. There was no way to get back.

    Yet another bug with the prawn is that if you are inside and get out then (at least in facilities) you remain the shrunken height that the game treated you while you were in the suit. So everything is above your head. Restarting solves the issue.

    The cyclops is almost as bad. It is also needed late in the game but gets stuck on things and there is no way to get it off or reset if you've saved already. In one case I had no choice but to use the cheat console to build a new one and move my stuff across so I could destroy the old one.

    Other bugs are annoying but not as bad such as signs in your base not remembering their colors or the cyclops moving if you get into and out of it several times.

    The survival mechanics are typical but there is really way too much grinding. You are constantly having to search for lots and lots of items and the game doesn't make it easy to find things. Navigating early on isn't hard but without a useful coordinate system it is hard to find things. This gets really bad late in the game when you're 1K+ meters down and it is dark, in the cyclops trying to navigate and you keep finding corners you cannot get out of. Some player-friendly help here would have been very useful. Even a map with pins would have helped.

    The story itself starts off strong but after about day 5 it pretty much ends. There is an overarching mission but nothing really directs you to anything. Early on messages recommend where you go next but by mid game you don't get anymore. It's like they forgot to implement the rest. So many times you are stuck wondering what you should do next. Some better directions are definitely needed.

    For improving your survival you can get better vehicles but honestly the seamoth is the only good one. The cyclops is too large, gets attacked by everything, drains power really fast, is hard to maneuver and is expensive to maintain. If it weren't for the depth I'd never use it. The prawn is expensive to create but its movement and jump are really bad to the point that it simply isn't fun. I'd prefer the seamoth.

    Building a base is fun but it is really tedious. Between all the gear you need, the limited storage you have, the constant balance of power and strength and the tediousness of actually building quickly drains you. I spent hours just trying to set up a simple base that I could use for the middle of the game. Some optimizations here would be nice like being able to copy or save blueprints would be nice. Several times I had to start over because I couldn't get some structures to line up. Redoing all the work is painful.

    Overall it is a fun game early on. But the middle game is bland and directionless. The last part of the game is buggy. Perhaps if the bugs are resolved this game could go up a point or two.    … Expand

I don't even like exploration or survival games in general, but this game is one of the best games I've ever played because of its incredible atmosphere and sound design. This is not a horror game, but the concept of being alone underwater, heading into the unknown where you don't know what lies ahead, is very terrifying. Playing this gameMany games are overrated.

This is not a horror game, but the concept of being alone underwater, heading into the unknown where you don't know what lies ahead, is very terrifying. Playing this game triggered my thalassophobia hard, but overcoming the fear and forcing myself to go on gave me one of the best gaming experience I've ever had.

    The story is fantastic - I need to mention this because many open-world and survival games have horrible storylines. (In fact, I could count games in this genre with good stories on one hand.) I obviously will not spoil the story in this review but reaching the ending was a very satisfying feeling! Story in this game has a very natural flow and is not forced upon you. There are objectives, but no missions to speak of. You can do your own thing exploring the world, and complete the story only when you want to.

    Map design is great as well. All biomes are already there from the beginning and are not "locked" per se, like in other games where you can't go to a new area because of a gate or something, but you are gently nudged towards your destination because of the well-written storyline and the lack of suits/tools to explore the new biome.

    UWE has created a truly unique gem that stands out in the sea of survival games (no pun intended) and they should be proud of their accomplishment.

    Remember to play with headphones on to "feel" the water around you.

    Some of my minor nitpicks:
    1. No multi-monitor support which would be perfect for an atmospheric game like this, but understandable due to the devs prioritising other issues over this feature which only a few people can take advantage of.
    2. Texture pop-in is horrible in this game. Not only is the pop-in annoying, it breaks immersion too.
    3. Inventory management is bad and is one of the most criticised aspect of this game along with the texture pop-in issue. If you Google "inventory management Subnautica" you will see thousands of search results.    … Expand

It's about evading, surviving and when you meet a leviathan class for the first time you will understand.

    Gorgeous underwater bioluminescence and some really interesting biomes to explore, lots of gadgets to craft and use, base building, submarines to craft and make mobile bases. There is a lot to do in Subnautica, I spent around 100 hours and completed practically everything exploring including story, it was one of those few games that kept me interested to the very end.

    It has some performance issues, the game runs on unity and maybe they will get that incremental garbage collection plugin to their engine to help performance. Other than that the game is amazing and a must buy.    … Expand

    I got this for Christmas and I can't stop playing it. I'm a scuba diver and I love the physics in game. It feels like you're swimming. I love the graphics. Standing on the life pod looking out over the ocean is amazing. When the sun starts going down and the fluorescent life starts to get bright underwater; it's just shocking how beautiful it is.

    Subnautica is a masterpiece. It is a game that you should play spoiler-free and therefore it is hard to put it into words how good the game is.

    Equal parts beautiful and dangerous, Subnautica is an amazing deep-sea diving exploration simulation, set on an alien planet with solid mechanics, tons of freedom, and an interesting narrative. The world is brimming with interesting lifeforms you've never seen before. The story moments are few and far between, but are always memorable. Definitely worth the plunge.

    One of the best survival games on the market. It’s very unique thanks to its premise (being underwater), it has extremely cool devs that are always working on the game, there are hundreds of hours to spend in the game, the game looks gorgeous, building mechanics are cool as hell and the game can be both calming as well as horror like!

    Another cool thing is that it has multiple layers of what you can do. It’s not just survival but you can also build your own base and equip it as you see fit (bed, reactor, generator, lockers, observatory, radar room, dock and more) almost all the equipment serves some purpose and it’s not just decoration. For example, you can go to the land, cut some trees, plant them in your underwater garden and harvest food!

    You can build and equip your badass giant submarine, there is an interesting story, love of cool and mesmerizing places to explore or you can just sit back and enjoy the environment and graphics because as I already said the games looks amazing!    … Expand

    Now, I'm getting thirsty. How do I get water? Digging in the game's recipe book, it seems I need bleach. Where do I get bleach? I need salt and coral. Where do I get salt and coral (the right kind)? You've got to look for it. I never did find salt. After a couple of deaths, I just didn't feel like it was worth my time.

    Maybe I give up too easy, but I really wasn't looking forward to rebuilding technology starting from the stone age. The game wasn't right for me. That doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad game.

    This game just dumps you in the ocean and tells you to swim. There's no tutorial. I'm just not interested in a game where the main challenge is trying to figure out how the game works.    … Expand

    La historia se centra en un astronauta, que se estrella en un planeta oceánico repleto de colosales criaturas submarinas. En él, tendrá que utilizar todos los elementos naturales que estén a su paso para re-construir la nave y poder volver a casa.

    El diseño es realmente hermoso como era de esperarse. La jugabilidad es muy cómoda. El arte, la capa de colores y el estilo que tiene este mundo Sub-acuático como las criaturas que residen en él, resultan impresionantes, aterradoras y hermosas al mismo tiempo. Su contexto visual recuerda mucho al de Portal, sobre todo por las escenas donde el personaje principal se encuentra dentro de la nave. Imagina el nivel acuático de Super Mario, pero unas 20 millones de veces mas grande con gráficos realistas, y que todo el juego este ambientado en esa área.

    No recomiendo en lo absoluto este juego a aquellos que sufren de Talasofobia (Miedo al océano), o temor a cosas masivamente grandes. Porque todo el juego esta construido por un océano profundo que parece casi infinito, y criaturas marinas de enorme tamaño que pueden atacarte. El principal inconveniente con esta joya marítima, es que todo su mundo es 1 solo nivel. Y por lo tanto puede llegar a aburrir con mucha facilidad, ademas que posee errores técnicos notorios como Glitches, muchos escenarios sin terminar, así como otros que aparecen de la nada. Sin embargo los aciertos que posee son superiores en gran parte, y convierte a este intrigante viaje submarino en una experiencia como ninguna otra.

    En resumen. Subnautica te ofrece: Aventura, exploración, mensajes educativos sobre la vida marítima, supervivencia, terror, ciencia ficción, y mucho mas, todo esto sin necesidad de matar a nadie. Es uno de los mejores, y el mas aterrador juego educativo que haya visto.

    Subnautica is not a typical survival game. It's a masterpiece.

    Visuals and Sound -
    The developers have crafted a living breathing eco system beneath the waves that just feels authentic beyond anything I've ever experienced in a game world before, it excels in what it sets out to achieve, from the way lighting and depth level transform the appearance of the world around you, to the way the soundtrack becomes quite unpleasant as you approach the edges of the map, a subtle way to mark out the game area that is not otherwise mapped. Everything is animated beautifully and everything makes a satisfying sound. It is one of the most immersive game worlds I have ever explored, the only thing that came close was Alien Isolations Sevastapol station (also awesome).

    Gameplay-
    The game play loop in this game is addictive, a constant flow of character improvement and story progression, every big step feels like a hugely satisfying achievement, throughout the lengthy playtime I have always had something to aim for, a goal to achieve and a reason to keep playing...just a little bit longer.

    I cannot recommend this game enough, if you're reading this you need the game, easily in my top 10 games of the past 35 years, this shows a loving attention to detail that would only come from a passionate team, in a world of looter shooter megacorp rinse and repeats this game is a stand out and deserves to be supported.

    If I had to find a con for this game, it would be that the on foot sections of the game are not to the same standard as the meat and potatoes underwater elements. a minor gripe.    … Expand

    It isn’t without performance hiccups, especially the deeper you go. But the breadth of content here and the open-world nature both in terms of playspace and just pure choice in how you go about it is something rarely seen in games.

    Subnautica is hands down the best survival game I have ever experienced. I completely lost track of time while playing it and for the first time in ages I rescheduled my appointments and neglected my responsibilities to spend more time with a game. If I could I would hand out free copies in the streets so as many people as possible can see how ridiculously good Subnautica is. [04/2018, p.62]

    A great game that took five years to make. Subnautica is an open sandbox sci-fi fantasy that can inch it's way into horror as you explore the depths of the ocean world. Just be ready to farm!
