    This game crashes, alot. Not only does the game crash but the devs for some stupid reason did not put an auto save feature in the game nor put any warning that the game doesn't save on its own like every other modern game in existence. I cringe at the thought of how many people wasted countless hours of free time only to have the game crash and lose all of it and have to start fromThis game crashes, alot.

I cringe at the thought of how many people wasted countless hours of free time only to have the game crash and lose all of it and have to start from scratch. Also the game lags alot as well. We're talking about chugging along at two frames a second only to drown and die in the game because you can't function under the constant frame dips. It would be a fun game if the developer decided to finish the game before selling it. This bullcrap should be illegal. Game developers are worse than car salesmen these days Expand

    Subnautica: Below Zero offers a more immediate, accessible and complete gaming experience compared to the first chapter of the saga, providing a more impactful and suitable title for those who do not like too dispersive survival games. To succeed in this, however, many aspects of the original title have been simplified, resulting in a less meaty and varied game. A different experience then, but worth the effort.

    Subnautica: Below Zero is a great follow-up to one of the best in the genre. It dishes out the survival aspects in more digestible chunks than some of the more extreme cases. This makes it much more approachable for players like me who are intimidated by the restrictions of the genre. Do not let the nature of the game scare you away. This is a beautiful experience that I recommend if for nothing else, but to experience the ridiculously beautiful world Unknown Worlds has created.

    Subnautica: Below Zero retains all the key gameplay elements that gave its predecessor its success, and furthermore adds various improvements -although its significantly smaller map area and its design deprive it of the feelings of loneliness, fear and awe as you enter a new biome.
