    Subnautica: Below Zero could be compared to an iceberg. Hidden underneath a seducing art direction, its many treasures are only available to those who are ready to truly invest some time in the game. To do so, one will have to dive into the unknown, avoid the monsters hidden in the dark shadows and deal with a constant management of the inventory and health bar. Once the basic mechanics are understood, Unknown World Entertainment’s game unleashes gorgeous surprises and knows how to reward us. Despite some scenes on solid ground, we only have one wish: dive deeper again and again in this sly ocean filled with mysteries and toying with our fears.

But Below Zero feels like an unoptimized standalone addon of the original Subnautica. Framerate drops (Played on Series S) around my base below 30 fps, even in fps mode. Quality mode had big input lag. The entire game does not feel creepy as in original Subnautica. The snow area was a chore, the land movement is still bugged, it still lets the player flickering around when touching some edges. Most stuff are recycled, and there are only a few new features. I am dissapointed.… Full Review »
