    When Unknown Worlds announced they were bringing this one to Switch we were hugely excited, this is one of our all-time favourite games after all, but it was excitement tempered with a degree of scepticism as to how on earth they'd manage to cram the entire experience onto Switch in a properly playable manner. As it turns out, we needn't have worried as this is a super solid port that - besides a few loading stutters here and there and some scenery pop-in that's present in every other version of the game - successfully delivers one of the very best survival experiences on any platform to Nintendo's hybrid console.

    While the spin-off “Below Zero” feels more modern, this survival adventure classic is still fascinating - and is mostly well executed on Switch.

    Subnautica is a survival and narrative experience that stands as a benchmark for the genre. The Switch version itself certainly has its drawbacks, but not enough to weigh down the experience too much. Some of them do admittedly affect gameplay mildly, but the strength of Subnautica still pushes through.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is butifull. People complain about the popin issues but they are hardley noticeable. The NPC are the best of the best. I love how easy copper is to find when you need it. The leviathens are a genuin threat and you have to come up with stratigees to beat them. The combat is amazing and everything is ballenced and the game isn't imedietly easy once you get the prawn suit. The enmies are a genuin threat and you can't just walk by them. I also love how the final area (The lava zone) is an actual challenge beacause of the sea dragon leviathen. I love how ballenced silent running is on the cyclops and how when you have it on you still have to pay attention to the enemies and you can't just drive past them. I also love how obtaining the ingreadients for the hatching enzymes (Used to hatch the sea emporor eggs) is fitingly a time consuming task and doesn't take just 5 minutes. Not enuogh water levels!!!!!!!!!… Expand
