    This is basically my favorite survival-horror game of all time, subnautica brings a whole new world full of interesting creatures and lore, after the crash of the Aurora, you, the only survivor, must survive in this volcanic crater on a planet dominated by oceans, explore the depths of the sea, find blueprints for your base, build a giant Submarine that can be your mobile base, subnauticaThis is basically my favorite survival-horror game of all time, subnautica brings a whole new world full of interesting creatures and lore, after the crash of the Aurora, you, the only survivor, must survive in this volcanic crater on a planet dominated by oceans, explore the depths of the sea, find blueprints for your base, build a giant Submarine that can be your mobile base, subnautica simply blew my mind and changed my opinion on survival games.… Expand

    Incredible open world survival game. The gameplay is very creative considering you're under water for 95% of the game. The world is beautiful and terrifying at the same time. The creatures are unique. The story is well told, and the game does not hold your hand through it. This game is a must have for people who enjoy survival horror games.

    아직 절차적 생성에는 부족한 점이 많다는걸 깨달은 작품. 어디든지 갈수있지만 산소량의 한계로 레벨에 따라 자연스럽게 잠수의 한계를 구현한게 좋았다. 수중공포증을 가진 내가 그걸 이겨가면서까지 몰입하게한 작품.

    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.

    I love the cave systems.... in the shallows, my first reaction was, "WOW this so cool!" In the depths, the caves are terrifying. Swimming over a drop off is terrifying.

    Типичный выживач, скучный сюжет, лор непонятен и как-то уныл,биомов мало, как и живности, очень затянуто, из + можно выделить классный сеттинг и атмосферу. Графика весьма спорна, вроде вода и инструменты в руках выглядят сносно, однако все остальные текстуры это просто уровень 2008 года.Типичный выживач, скучный сюжет, лор непонятен и как-то уныл,биомов мало, как и живности, очень затянуто, из + можно выделить классный сеттинг и атмосферу.

    this game is worth the money, you get hours of exploration and some scares thrown in for what 19.99 USD. I would buy it for more like 40 USD and still be happy, I will say one thing to anyone that buys this game, your paying below AAA price of 60 USD so you won't a endless experience buy it is still a must have. i finished the game in about 11 hours, mostly just exploring and running.

    This game was capable to make me love it despite how much I despise the survival genre - or at least, the entries this genre has.

    It was truly a great journey, capable of make me feel strong emotions every time I discovered a new species or a new biome. It was no small feat, due to my pair of decades of gaming!

    Amazing game, really captured my attention and kept it with in game progression and the threats that kept popping up. The game still has a number of bugs none of which really hinder your gameplay just some immersion. If that is fixed this game will be a solid 10/10

    I really enjoyed this game, fun open world. The gameplay is awesome and enjoyable, the visuals are spectacular. I would highly recommend this game. Can't wait to play the next one. Well done Devs!!

    I would like to see more endgame content as when I finally got the cool stuff the game was almost over.

    A refreshing take on the survival game formula, with great athmosphere, beautiful visuals and a breathtaking sound design, both in its soundtrack and audio design of the world. Absolutely recommended!

    Best survival game I've ever played, especially impressive when you take into account that it is made by an indie studio. The game has amazing art, music and locations and it's survival horrors blend in very well and can suck you in for a long time. It's not without it's bugs tho, but those are really minor things and mostly are caused by the Unity engine the game runs on.

    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    Subnautica - пожалуй, лучшая в своём жанре, и одна из лучших игр в принципе.

    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.

    Мне игра понравилась! 9 балов ставлю за слабую оптимизацию на ps 4: игра проседает привсплытии на поверхность, так же есть артефакты на базе, коих я не видел на компьютере.

    Игра хорошая интересная, у неё много плюсов, а также и минусов, но всё по порядку. Плюсы: игра не вероятно интересная одна из самых лучших игр в жанре выживания, а также не плохая графика как для 2018 но уж поверьте в 2015 было и хуже. А также не могу не отметить что это по мимо выживания ещё и охрененый хоррор так что если вы хотите пощекотать свои нервишки это то что вам надо.

Но плюсы продолжаются игра имеет свою атмосферу то есть, хорошую музыку, интересных существ, и сейтинг. Ну а теперь минусы куда же без них: 1 не реиграбельность один раз пройдёшь всё можешь удалять, 2 однообзный сюжет принеси то принеси вот это, это скучно так и ещё не интересно, ну конечно 3 минус не имеет мультиплеера как по моему он был бы к месту. Ну а так игра невероятно крутая в ней хорошо всё (ну почти), так что если вы хотите в неё поиграть то можете смело покупать. 8/10 Рекомендует человек который купил её на ПК и на Кансоль.… Expand

Accompanied by a dialectical AI assistant, you may wonder what company really is. In a precise measure, the game’s progression will lead your needs from bare survival upwards to utter satisfaction. While flaws like the abrupt end and a half-baked combat system are only few, one of them stands out: the game is obsessed with the idea of nonlinear advancement in both engineering and storyline. Minor decisions and luck of findings determine the pace of your journey, which can leave you frustrated from time to time. However, the rich environment and the stimulation of thought do make up for this to present you an amazing experience.… Expand

    I wish it could have co-op mode one day!
    This game reminds me of my first game on my first pc. The game was called "Shark! Hunting the Great White" that gave me unforgettable extreme underwater experience.
    This is quite the same by mechanics but has hole living interactive universe that takes few days away from your life. Maybe even more than that!

    I rarely give 10/10 scores. The sense of awe and exploration is like BOTW, but with a feeling of isolation that’s both zen-like calm and terrifying at times. Saying too much will spoil the numerous discoveries scattered through the game. I almost wish I could forget the game just to I can experience it for the first time again. This is a 100% must-play.

    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!
