What I did like:

- Another fantastic game in terms of immersion. The world really encourages you to explore and each new environment has its own set of resources and challenges that you need to overcome making it very satisfying to progress to the next vehicle, or base upgrade.

- Speaking of vehicles, they're awesome. The cyclops is a bit clunky, but the sea moth and upgraded prawn suit make traversal and resource collection really fun, especially in the later stages of the game.

- The creature designs are awesome. There are times where this game straight up turns into a horror - I would strongly encourage anybody with thalassophobia to avoid this game, for obvious reasons.

What I didn't like:

- The only really thing I truly disliked was the story cues. I know the game wants you to explore and find things naturally, but the map is massive on occasions where I would obtain data logs, the PDA wouldn't provide the next location, leading me to some moments where I had no clue where to go or what to do next besides upgrade my stuff. There are also some radio alerts which made little sense to the overall story. I understand in a game like this the story isn't too important, but there were maybe some bits of the game that could've had a little more polish. But again, this is a minor gripe in an otherwise fantastic game.
