I wanted to enjoy this, but the survival aspects are tedious, repetitive and time-consuming. You constantly need to backtrack, which hurts the exploration. I think it would be a lot more enjoyable in multiplayer (since you could divvy up the labor), but that's sadly not an option without modding. I wish there was a map/cartography mechanic as well.
The performance leaves a lot to be desired. My PC was running loudly despite being well above the system requirements.

It has a very well crafted world, but the lack of a map and the constant backtracking required is annoying.
Oh, you need one blue crystal only to build this important thing? Go on a 1 hour journey to a specific place to get said crystal, only to find out that you will need again when a new recipe unlocks.
Otherwise, the game is very pleasant.

God DAMN this game is good. Few games are able to capture the fear of the unknown as well as Subnautica, and being able to slowly conquer this strange alien world bit by bit is exhilarating. Something about having a massive submarine that acts as a portable base really speaks to me for some reason. Highly recommend.
More terrifying then a lot of horror games. Being stranded alone in a alien ocean is a unique and frightening sensation, and Subnautica was able to make me feel this fear every second through the gameplay, ambiance and exploration. The story is great, the soundtracks are amazing. I really want to play this game in VR
A really fantastic survival game that I was happy watch go from a decently small early in development game to something so amazing (man I remember when stuff like the lava zone wasn’t finished or when you were to have baby reef backs in your aquarium). The storyline is very interesting and actually got me to engage with the world outside of trying to find materials. I also really like how the game has a definite end goal and actually something to work toward than just dicking around in a world just because. Only real issue is this game chugs really bad at times. Also yes this game is scary as hell and I won’t ever forget my first time getting ambushed by a reaper.
