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

    An underwater horror game. If you are tired of dark rooms, cemeteries, deserted villages, you can continue underwater! It was a nice experience.

    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.

    Incredibly immersive. Hypnotizing soundtrack, interesting story, love this game. The review needs to contain at least 75 characters for some reason.

    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.

    Very enjoyable and good game. It has good story as well. I definetly suggest it. Only thing that I didn't like about the game is difficulty of exploring. It is kinda hard to explore and to find your way. It is 8 out of 10.

    The atmosphere, music, and story are incredible. You like exploration? Subnautica has you covered. You like crafting and base building? Covered. You like survival? Covered. You like a great story well told? Got you there too. I cannot recommend this game enough.

    Incredible open world undersea game. Really sells the undersea environments with many believable yet alien animals and environments. Ambience is stunning, the game is overall gorgeous, and its only big flaw is some technical issues around pop-in

    재료를 수집해 건물과 아이템을 만드는 빌더게임을 좋아하지 않는 편이지만 서브노티카의 해저탐험은 그런 호불호를 떠나 새로운 세상을 탐험하는 흥미로운 경험을 제공해준다.

    A Great World

    I had slept on Subnautica for the longest time, it had been in my library more or less since release and until now I only had around an hours play-time in it. I viewed it as just a weird underwater survival sandbox but it really is so much more than that.

    I had slept on Subnautica for the longest time, it had been in my library more or less since release and until now I only had around an hours play-time in it. I viewed it as just a weird underwater survival sandbox but it really is so much more than that.

    Firstly the game looks great, it's very colourful and the different biomes take on a whole new colour palette whenever you enter them and leave them which makes the world feel more enjoyable to explore.

    The different fauna and fish; the amount of detail and lore they've put into these things just from scanning them is absurd, but in a good way. There's always something to read and learn and eventually you begin to feel one with the surrounding marine life.

    The resources you get are interesting, or at least the way you get them is interesting and fun to me. A bit of mining, a bit of cutting and combining them to make new items so that you can fabricate even more advanced materials and items. It's no different really from most survival crafting games but there's something a lot more satisfying about getting items in this game than it is others. Maybe it's just the sound of the fabricator.

    There is an overarching story, but I won't delve too deep into it, basically you've crashed on an alien planet and need to get off the planet; and some other stuff happens here, there and in-between, but I won't spoil it here.

    My only real criticism is that some resources can be rather difficult to find, Kyranite especially. You can be wandering around for quite a long time in the completely wrong area and have absolutely no idea that you're wasting your time. So you end up basically scanning the entire map to find out where to go, only to need to get an upgrade to go there. Which isn't a problem, getting the upgrades is part of the fun, but it can be rough after searching for a while, finding where you need to go, only to back-track to get the resources to go there. Feels like time wasted.

    Furthermore in order to complete certain tasks, you need certain items which are hidden in deep sea bases, without some of them, it's near impossible to complete the game.

    Sometimes you get a weird frame-stutter bug when entering and exiting a vehicle, it's noticeable but it's not game breaking by any means.

    I enjoyed my time in Subnautica, it's one of those games where you'll be asking. "Where did the time go?" And next thing you know, it's 5am.

    Don't do what I did and sleep on this, it's a phenomenal game. For a first run, just have your goal to be to complete the game and you'll find the magic that's laced throughout this amazing world.

    7/10 - Will likely do another playthrough at some point.    … Expand

    Subnautica is one of the best examples of what makes videogames fun. Its mainly immersion. Unlike modern videogames Subnautica doesn't assist the player throughout the play-through.

Only the freedom to decide what you want to do yourself. This base already fades away the sense that you are playing a videogame. On top of this, your character never talks, which really makes you feel like you are that character. Not that you control a character with its own conscience. After playing for a while, you start to realize that you really have to figure out everything yourself. And because the underwater world and its mystery is so captivating, you can easily put up with long hours of exploration to seek out every place and piece of information there is to find. To top it all off Subnautica is incredibly scary. I can say with certainty that Subnautica is going to introduce you to multiple fears you didn't know you had. They play right into those fears by adding fog, big wrecks, big bodies of water, darkness, disturbing looking biomes and worst of all alien sea monsters. Not to forget the incredible sound design by Simon Chylinski which builds up the tension from 0 to 100 real quick. After a certain point, Subnautica becomes a battle between your curiosity and your fear of the unknown. Overcoming that fear time after time was a great experience. There is honestly so much more to say about this game, but you really just have to experience it yourself.… Expand

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

    Survival game with the twist that there are no good means of killing most of the dangerous creatures, so they just have to be looked out for and outmaneuvered throughout the biomes. While exploring, there is also an intriguing story found which form interesting developments. The story points to a general direction of where to go next, and what structures to explore.

    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!
