    Nie umiem tego ująć słowami. Po prostu w to zagraj i nie zauważysz gdy na liczniku czasu spędzonego w grze przebijesz 365 dni. Najlepsza gra na świecie

    Maybe the best survival and best aquarium/reef/diving game. So many creative things to do.
    Today there should be more graphic details sets. Creating manual detail config is very uncomfortable.
    Maybe they could have names: "Ultra2022,..."

    This is probably the best survival game you can get, and for me one of the greatest games of all time.

    Если вы, как я, боитесь глубины, то для вас это хоррор игра. Я до мурашек боялся заплывать глубже - но сюжет заставляет делать это.

Once you play Subnautica, the feeling of happiness and reward for your hard work at the end really gives you a great pleasure. Explaining the mystery of the main character and what happened to the other characters and showing it with the extras in the game really gives you the best feeling of loneliness and makes you feel as if you are on the planet 4546B. I was really upset that Subnautica Below Zero was so bad compared to Subnautica. I don't know if they will make a third game, but if they do, they should give credit to the first game and re-live the feeling that Subnautica gave me. I hope they make the third game and it will be linked to the first game.… Expand

    This game taught me the true meaning of terror and as someone with a fear of the ocean who did a blind play through, you can probably guess the lingering effects of playing this game.

    Great game atmosphere and soundtrack is something with something, then. Fear of spiders I have developed I understand this is one thing some things just take horror when you are a small insect coming and in the normal game you are not afraid, and you in this straight … No words at all.

Se que esta lleno de bugs y un poco meh en cuanto a animaciones, pero no quita el hecho de que me parezca una joya imprescindible. Para este juego han tenido que hacer un ecosistema entero, una fauna completamente grande, biomas creativos y coloridos, aparte de una historia interesante. La manera de farmear en este juego no se me hace tan pesada como en otros títulos. Es interesante ver los distintos biomas y distintos peces mientras estas farmeando. La banda sonora también me parece un punto extra en este juego, le pega mucho a la atmosfera que tiene el juego. Realmente este título puede hacerte pasar miedo o ansiedad, pero me parece un punto a favor ya que estamos en el contexto de un planeta desconocido donde todo es agua y no se conoce toda la fauna que reside en el. Aparte de miedo, tiene aventuras y momentos tranquilos. Me hubiera gustado que tenga multijugador, se que en parte la gracia del juego esta en sentirse solo y atrapado en un planeta desconocido, pero no hay que mentir sobre que seria muy curioso y interesante que hubieran añadido esta modalidad (aunque aun pueden hacerla, están haciendo actualizaciones para mejorar el juego). Sé que existe el launcher de Nitrox, pero quiero jugarlo online de una forma oficial ya que Nitrox da problemas de conexión, la fauna o minerales no están sincronizados con los demás jugadores y pueden haber muchos bugs como objetos duplicados o peces sin movimiento.

    En resumen: Un juego que si te gusta minecraft y farmear deberias probarlo, podria sorprenderte mucho, 10/10.    … Expand

    There is no map in the game so you have to either memorize the place or just use beacon, however memorizing the map is not that hard after putting few beacon for landmark because of the unique flora and fauna in every area.

    Subnautica es sin duda una obra maestra. Irrebatiblemente te va a hacer sentir que estas allí, en las frías aguas, rodeado de oscuridad, a la espera de que uno de los aterradores depredadores que habitan allí. Simplemente una obra maestra.

Bought the game in 2018, it’s been an emotional roller coaster, there’s always that feeling when you see the sea emperors kids go and venture, also the combination between horror game and adventure open world game is so good, no feeling beats the one you felt when you beat the game for the first time, it’s a one in a lifetime experience, enjoy it.… 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!
