    L'indé du jour est -une fois n'est pas coutume- très joli : ses graphismes épurés restent fort bien faits et le tout est tout-à-fait fluide (!)...

Cela dit, rien d'extraordinaire non plus puisqu'il ne s'agit que d'un collectathon bien vide... mais en ce qui concerne le reste en tout cas, le jeu n'est (toujours) pas fini : quid des objectifs, du but, du pourquoi et du comment, quid de l'histoire ?

    On a bien compris qu'on est un Robinson mais encore ? faut-il finir le jeu à la place de ces feignasses de développeurs qui osent vendre leur machin toujours en bêta ? ou bien faut-il aller sur wikipedia pour la marche à suivre ? c'est une putain de blague, ce truc !

    Evidemment, comme dans tous les jeux de "survie" de cet acabit, on se doute bien qu'l va falloir errer, récolter, ramasser des bidules et des merdes pour fabriquer d'autres bidules et d'autres merdes et ainsi de suite... il faut vraiment avoir du temps à perdre !

    Même le super foireux No Man's Sky avait une interface moins merdique et on se sentait nettement moins perdu. J'ai pas de temps à foutre en l'air dans cette simu sous-marine à la mords-moi-le-zob : revenez, les gars, quand vous aurez enfin un vrai jeu. Pas un concept vaguement injouable.    … Expand

    This game does not play well on an Xbox! It's borderline unplayable. Frame rate and pop in is atrocious. 10 seconds to 40 seconds for the terrain and assets to appear in a game where your air tank is measured in seconds!

Frame rate and pop in is atrocious. 10 seconds to 40 seconds for the terrain and assets to appear in a game where your air tank is measured in seconds! It's full of bugs and game breaking glitches, the feedback system doesn't get replies. Yet No man's sky which is almost identical in concept and design plays fine on a console even with the terrain editor which was scrapped from Subnautica because they could not fix it!

    Because you only get one save slot, if your game glitches before a save you are screwed and have to start a new game from the start. Don't pilot vehicles near alien bases as they get stuck. Don't read data pad entries in your vehicle as you often find yourself falling out the sub and dying from fall damage like the map failed to load. It's a buggy mess that feels like a early beta not a game released 4 years ago. Say what you like about No Man's Sky, but Sean fixed it and made it into a playable game whereas the Devs on Subnautica just started working on their next game which is a woke, dead version of their first game. I believe this game does play okay on a PC but still has most these bugs. I'm only giving it 2 out of 10 because the story, audio and music is excellent. It's just a shame you can't play the game to enjoy it!    … Expand

    A totally unique surveillance experience impressively set in a compelling alien world.

    Subnautica is not without its issues, but it successfully manages to combine a strong sense of exploration and discovery with an interesting story hook and an exceptional soundtrack to make it one of the very best examples of the genre.

    Subnautica is a fantastic exploring and survival game that I cannot wait to dive deeper into, but it is in desperate need of a patch that fixes the pop-in and framerate. I’ve completed a lot of what the game has to offer, but I know there is so much more of this ocean planet to explore. I learned of a fear I have that I didn’t know existed, and learning about that fear makes me respect guys like Jacques Cousteau and the guy in search of the blue diamond in Titanic so much more.
