Subnautica

it was really fun and it was fun and the levathens doesn't really damage your cyclopse most of the time just anyoing

I know its it is scary, but it has more lore than any game u can name and it is honestly just a beautiful game that is really high quality

Beating this game was very enjoyable. Played off and on for 3 years and always had fun.

I'm super old and dusty and have been playing games for a very long time. I've had my ancient list of top games, but this came along and bumped one of those old games into the dustbin.

Would definitely recommend to those who are new to horror and survival games. The ending is beautiful, it truly makes you appreciate what's in the ocean. 10/10 game.

i love the deep underground and adventure storyline

Love this game. You aren't forced to do a story, you can just do what you want. Very beautiful and definetly recommended for everyone.

this game is pretty good but needs long time to finish. nothing else to say 10/10

Good Graphics,Big world map,Fun mechanics,Freedom. The only problem about this game is that if you have a crippling fear of the ocean i do not recommend this game,but overall this game is absolute fire🔥🔥🔥

Probably my favorite story line out of any game. Fantastic job by the devs. I've played through around 7 times now and its still terrifying and i still keep finding new things. WELL worth the money!

Watched gameplay from many Youtubers big and small. Was satisfying to watch as it is to play.

This game slaps, but instead of spoiling any bits of the experience, I'll enlighten you to a random fact about Earth's ocean.

We've explored roughly 5% of space, and somehow we know more about space than our own ocean.

Jogo foda, a exploração é boa, a construção é ótima queria que ele durasse mais isso sim

Played since the game barely had a story and some areas were still being developed. Came back to it recently and it still holds up very well! They don't make many games like this anymore and I'd fully recommend if you like the survival/crafting/building genre of games and the underwater aspect interests you.

Subnautica, is an immersive open-world survival game set in the stunningly beautiful yet perilous depths of an alien ocean. From the moment you crash-land on the mysterious planet of you're enveloped in a rich narrative and a mesmerizing underwater environment that invites exploration and adventure.

Visuals and Atmosphere:
One of the standout features of Subnautica is its breathtaking visuals in a cartoon-ish style. The vibrant colors of the coral reefs, the intricate details of marine life, and the haunting beauty of underwater caves create an atmosphere that is both enchanting and eerie. The dynamic lighting and sound design further enhance this experience, making you feel as though you're submerged in an alien world.

Exploration and Survival:
At its core, Subnautica is about exploration and survival. You must gather resources, craft tools, and build habitats to thrive in the ocean's depths. The thrill of discovering new biomes, encountering unique creatures, and unlocking new technologies keeps the gameplay fresh and engaging. The game balances the tension of survival—managing oxygen levels, food, and health—with the joy of discovery, creating a compelling experience that is hard to put down.

Narrative and Lore:
The narrative unfolds organically as you explore the environment. Scattered throughout the ocean are various clues and logs that reveal the history of the planet and the fate of previous inhabitants. This layer of storytelling adds depth to the game, encouraging players to piece together the mystery while managing their survival.

Creature Encounters:
The diverse array of creatures you encounter adds both awe and dread to the experience. From the harmless peepers to the terrifying Reapers, each encounter feels unique and impactful. This unpredictability keeps you on your toes and enhances the thrill of exploration.

Challenges:
While Subnautica excels in many areas, it does have its challenges. Some players may find the initial learning curve steep, particularly when it comes to resource management and navigating the vast ocean. Occasionaly you will have technical issue which can detract from the experience, though I have only have a few.

Conclusion:
Subnautica is a masterful blend of exploration, survival, and storytelling. Its stunning visuals and immersive gameplay create an unforgettable journey beneath the waves. Whether you're a seasoned gamer or someone new to the genre, Subnautica offers a rich experience that encourages curiosity and exploration. Dive in, embrace the unknown, and uncover the mysteries of the deep.

i got autistic about games again
probably needs some more instruction stuff in game. i use a lot of wikis to find things, but i do that with a lot of games anyway. i recommend you use them too, unless you like not having spoilers or just like partially torturing yourself. overall fun tho

free, easy and so many jump scares!
kidding. no jump scares yet, but it's another survival/resource collecting game and i love them, so nothing bad to report this end.
many quests to make/upgrade so travel far and wide, my weary friends!

stunning visuals and atmosphere!! good exploration, crafting, and survival mechanics

Сейчас без шуток, я обожаю эту игру, для меня это как Dying Light - я могу проходить Subnautica хоть каждый год, игра затягивает геймплеем, увлекает сюжетом и лором, а также подбешивает менеджментом ресурсов, но это настолько не важно, что на это и вовсе можно закрыть глаза.

Единственное, что мне во многом не понравилось - это животные класса левиафан, ибо меня и мой транспорт они почти не трогали, дошло до того, что в активной лавовой зоне (пред финальной локации) самый страшный левиафан в игре - дракон-левиафан, вместо того чтобы свой огромной пастью сожрать мой Циклоп, просто начал его толкать, то есть со стороны изначально опасных мобов агрессии было минимум, а у более - менее дружелюбных (таких как, например, Сталкеров) агрессия была, по ощущениям, выкручена на максимум, каждый раз когда я мимо них проплывал они пытались меня укусить.

И на взаимодействии Циклопа и левиафанов я бы хотел акцентировать побольше внимания, ведь, как мне кажется, их взаимодействие - это некая синергия. Когда ты впервые создаешь Циклоп, ты думаешь что тебя уже никому не победить, ведь он довольно величественен по сравнению с Мотыльком и костюмом "КРАБ", однако при первой же встрече с кем - то из левиафанов весь твой пыл быстренько уходит, ведь твою подлодку грызут только так, и ты быстро оказываешься среди обломков своей субмарины где - то на дне океана, у меня же, в свою очередь, такого и близко не было, я думал что буду с поджатым хвостом и обосраными штанами убегать от этих огромных чудовищ, а казалось, что они боятся меня не меньше, чем я их.

Также спасибо МС-ПЕС (МС-ПСУ) за то что согласился устроить марафон, дело в том что игру он купил довольно давно, а проходить "не было мотивации", поэтому я предложил ему проходить её одновременно, чтобы так сказать замотивировать, в итоге на сороковой день у него в распоряжении весь транспорт игры, а также нахождение в неактивной лавовой зоне (насколько я помню он даже до вулканического замка не добрался), а я прошел игру уже на пятидесятый день, и очень сильно сомневаюсь, что ему удастся также, в общем, мотивация больше замотивировала меня, чем собственно человека, для которого я эту игру и проходил.

Если любите выживалки с сюжетом - настоятельно рекомендую, даже после нескольких прохождений она не перестаёт увлекать (я прошел игру уже три раза, на пиратке, на консоли, и вот, на лицензии).

Great game but the end gets dragged out and grindy. Also my sub got stuck on reef and bugged out.

It is the perfect game for when you either want some chill survival game or if you want to be scared till you piss yourself because of some leviathan.
Sorry for mistakes english is NOT my native language.

TL;DR 8/10. Exploration is fantastic, hunger and thirst get old fast, and the horror comes from fear of the unknown, meaning as the player you can simply look things up to rid the game of any horror, while keeping most of the suspense and excitement.

Subnautica is a survival exploration game, but that genre name doesn't really explain the ratio of those two aspects correctly. The game is 90% exploration, 10% survival. If you enjoy the typical gameplay loop of exploring new places to discover new blueprints or recipes to unlock bigger or better gear that helps you explore more efficiently or new areas, then this game is for you because Subnautica delivers on that loop masterfully for hours and hours. The biomes are a joy to explore, as each is not only visually distinct, but also feature unique challenges to overcome. They all feel different from the others in ways that mean you never get tired. Just as one might be overstaying its welcome you're off to mastering the next.

For the survival side, the 10% doesn't fully capture the experience. It is really a tale of two halves. On one hand there is the bog-standard food and water need. As is typical in the survival crafting genre to the point of being a trope, this is a pressing concern in the early game that quickly turns annoying, pushing the player towards a more sustainable solution, in this case small scale farming. And as is typical, even this sustainable solution boils down to just being a chore you have to do every time you return to base, or right before leaving. By late-mid game I wish I could have toggled an option to turn hunger and thirst off, they just got in the way and I had already proven I solved them as a concern. Unfortunately, though the game does feature a "difficulty" setting where the game does turn ONLY these two off, you have to select it when you start a new save file, and don't have the option of swapping partway through a playthrough.

Okay so that was the down side of survival, the other side is something much more baked into the game, and makes me question bumping up the 10%. For the other hand is oxygen. It's an underwater game after all, of course oxygen matters, and it is beautifully baked into everything you do. It keeps you thinking, how deep can I dive, should I continue exploring this cave system or turn back, do I even remember how I got here? Looking back, I would think this would have turned annoying at some point, but it never did. By end game you have enough unlocks that you can take long dives, but even then you still need to be mindful, and this balance is handled expertly. Your exploration is perfectly tempered by this survival aspect, unlike the food and water that is more of a chore than a need.

I suppose the last thing to comment on is the horror elements, it has the horror tag right there at the top of the page. Is it horror? In my opinion Subnautica is the quintessential example of fear of the unknown. I am someone who does not touch horror. I get nightmares easily and my anxiety incapacitates me very quickly. The first time I tried to play this game I had to put it down after 9 hours because I couldn't handle it, not knowing what was in the depths paralyzed me so I had to drop the game.

My second attempt, the one I just completed before writing this, I went in after looking up what exactly was hiding down there. Armed with that knowledge I found the horror to be gone. The game was still suspenseful - scavenging a wreck while the shadow of a leviathan looms in the distance, or frantically surviving an attack from one to escape to safety - ridding myself of the fear of the unknown did nothing to diminish the excitement.

So is the game horror? Yes and no. If you want it to be because that's your jam, go in as blind as you can. Learn for yourself how to best handle the aggressive creatures in the deep. If you're like me, and you'd rather it not be a horror game, spend a bit of time researching the game, and armed with knowledge you'll better be able to handle what the game throws at you.

Overall I greatly enjoyed this game and will give it an 8/10. It wasn't perfect by any means, but it deserves the praise it gets, and I would say is a must play for all fans of the exploration genre.

After about 50 hrs, my file got corrupted and was frozen on save screen. I had high hopes for this game, i really enjoyed it, but after all my 50 hrs down the drain, i don't recommend this game due to this bug.

After a while, things start to disappear on the map, fishes, corals, then lava pools etc., thats when I cant save the game anymore

A Great game that is singleplayer and has an open world that you can explore the depths of subnautica!
I recommend to everyone to play subnautica because it's very fun to explore and custom your base!

After 32 hours and completing the story, Subnautica has cemented itself as one of my favorite open-world survival games. The base-building is deeply satisfying, and exploring the beautifully crafted biomes—teeming with unique and often thrilling creatures—never got old.

The story is engaging and blends seamlessly with the exploration and survival mechanics, making every moment feel purposeful. As a fan of the genre, Subnautica stands out as a front-runner and a must-play for anyone who loves survival games.

This game is very fun I like how the fishes are so kind to me especially the big ones they have never harmed me and will always feed me other fish 10/10

The five main aspects that make this game a masterpiece are as follows:

I intended to play this game right after Below Zero, and oh god is it good. The graphica, the lore, the flora and fauna, amd of course the way these games never fail to awaken my thalassophobia.. beautiful game, terrifyingly so. Would recommend, 10/10.

Subnautica may be old, but it still lives up to the world's expectations. As arguably the game with the best graphics for its time, Subnautica is absolutely beautiful. Filled with stunning world events, mysteries, twists and scary fish.

I highly recommend this game, even if you don't plan on beating it.
However; I DO STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOU DO NOT WATCH ANYONE PLAY IT! The fun of Subnautica comes from the unknown, it's the point of the game being an ocean. Be brave! If only I could experience the game for the first time. :(

I could write a lot here, it's a great game, well made, immersive, etc... But what makes this game matter to me more than anything was that it brought myself and a lost friend back together. (I know its 1 player) but she coached me through surviving past my rampant thalassophobia, and actually enjoying this beautiful game.

It's such a unique creation, that I have yet to find a game to compare it to. It is because of this uniqueness that we had so much time to bond (really trauma bond) and work together to get past some of the more complicated sections of the early game.

I owe a thank you to the Devs at Subnautica, and I look forward for Subnautica 2 for access to multiplayer!

They told me it was a survival game. Nobody mentioned the survival part was sprint-swimming from a demon shrimp, fighting a sea cucumber with a pocket knife, and being stalked by things that shouldn’t have that many teeth—or that much rage.

11/10 would hyperventilate again

By far one of my most replayed games ever. I love how this game perfectly mixes the beauty and several horrors of an alien ocean environment. It is great for people with thalassophobia (like myself) who wish to take their fear head-on and challenge the depths of the ocean. Great story (especially the voicelogs). I recently beat hardcore mode with 13 hours and 3 attempts, so I finally feel that I should pay my gratitude by reviewing the game.

I have Thalassaphobia, so I am afraid of open water.
Thought forcing myself to play this game would help.
The game is beautiful, with a wonderfully intricate story, beautiful environments, interesting creatures, and fascinating interactions.
10/10 did not cure my thalassaphobia, only made it worse.

Subnautica (:

A very fun and scary game at the same time. It is filled with tons of suspence and terror at the same time though. I highly reccomend this game to everyone, cheap fun and very good graphics

One of the best games out there. This company has built an amazing underwater game. The attention to even the smallest of details when reading about creatures and the story line was truly amazing.

Spawned in, realized I have Thalassophobia, shrugged it off and wanted to explore the Aurora, got to the back of the Aurora, turned into fish food.

10/10 would recommend

This game is not for the faint of heart. If you have even the slightest bit of Thalassophobia, it can be downright terrifying at times. It's sooo good, though. It's pretty realistic and it's really cool exploring the ocean. It can be a bit challenging during some parts, and there isn't much direction, but overall it's a great game. Once I get over the jumpscares of venturing further into the depths, I will definitely put more hours into this. Lol.

Graphics are very good. Exploring the open world is a real challenge. Not having a map to show player location is a real pain in the ass.

Quite possibly the best survival crafting game out there, a lightning in a bottle kind of game, atmosphere, plot and creature designs are just so damn good. Cant think of any crafting survival game that comes close. Hopefully 2 recaptures the feeling this game has cause Below Zero is hot trash

I don't typically enjoy survival games, but this game is a real gem. It's mostly relaxing, but sometimes terrifying. The story and exploration really separate this game from it's peers. Highly recommended.

Enjoyable game with attainable steam based achievements along the way. It has a functional and fun story but also has a wonderful open world/sandbox environment to enjoy as well. Although I have beaten the game, the replay ability is reasonable and fun.

Ok ok ok well this gamae is survival and sort of a horror game. This game can take up to hours, a little hard to complete and easy? Well overall this game is very reccomended.

I loved this game soo much! Worth every penny!
And felt super sad leaving my cuddle fish behind.

One of my favorite games of ALL time. I could write an essay on how perfect this game is. The soundtrack is brilliant and ethereal, the visuals and graphics are so vibrant and realistic, I genuinely feel like I am on an underwater alien planet here. The voice acting is perfect. The sound effects of literally everything are perfect. The ambiance is incredible. One second you can be chilling and exploring, and the next you can be feeling dread that there's something in the distance. The story is amazing too; I love how you can go at your own pace with this game while also uncovering lore on the way. Love how many tools you can create as well. Like I said, I can write an essay about my love for this game. You won't be disappointed if you like a survival adventure/crafting game.

24 hours of the base gameplay with still so much more to do. This is not a regular open world survival game. PLEASE BUY THIS GAME

My partner and i love this, he always thought people where over exaggerating with the reactions to the sounds and creatures so the first thing he did was go to the dead zone in creative with the prawn suit. He didn't make it half way before he asked me to go because of the noises. 10/10 LOL
