Subnautica

I've been playing this game for years, on a variety of platforms. I recently purchased it again on Steam, so it's about time I left a review. This right here is one of the best survival games I've ever played, which is surprising, as I usually stray away from single player survival games because there is no social aspect involved for them to keep my attention. However, in the case of Subnautica, the "lonely" and isolated aspects are part of the reason I love it so much. It is really immersive and illustrates the feeling of being stranded by yourself, in an alien planet, perfectly. There is really no way to describe being at the bottom of the ocean, nothing but pitch black around you, and then seeing the silhouette of a giant sea creature in the distance. It really rattled my bones the first few times I had to make my way to the Aurora. Graphics are great, considering that it is a game from 2018. Incredibly optimized, and I can run it with ease even on my Steam Deck. On the other ...

I truly feel bad for refunding this game for the second time now but I just can't overcome my thalassophobia. It seems like I'm never going to be able to finish this game. Although I can definitely recommend it as I've watched multiple playtroughs and always enjoyed it.

Company that owns the game is scummy, won't support anything by them and suggest you don't either. Krafton deserves it.

Out of nowhere a new patch rolls in. First patch in years. Just some whatever stuff for controllers which the modders probably fixed years ago. And now all my modded saves are bricked. Just for that you deserve being review bombed from a very dedicated community. Thank you.

Great game.. originally.. However.. why would you update a game after 11 years.. if only to break every mod, and you added nothing! Conspicuously, when the new game is coming out next year. While the brass might think they're so smart.. it's a great way of alienating the gaming community. I have over 300 games and 14 years on steam.. Pay attention UWE.. someone will fix your bs update.. and an easy fix for the consumer is to just make the file read only.. Way to shoot yourself in the foot with a loyal audience.. F-off.. My feelings still stand.. I found that reverting to the 3.23 version allowed mods to work.. However, keep in mind.. a simple message saying.. "Hey everyone, we're going to release a bullsh** update, that ruins all your mods.. so if you have a save or playthrough.. make the appropriate adjustments.. Even though I reverted to the 3.23 version.. most of my mod items disappeared.. and I would have had to remake them.. fine, if not for resources are finite.. Just be f...

One of the best games of my life, the best survival game of my life and the most beautiful game of my life. I am a VERY big fan of this game, but there is one but.... Recently the original developers of this game were fired, and now in August they added a new patch that in fact no one asked for and there is nothing significant in it. Of course the new patch is cool, but... WHAT ABOUT THE UPDATE OF THE GAME MODE IN VR? Just because of this incredibly useful patch (it is not) all mods on VR with controllers do not work. Maybe it is better to spend your time and budget on updating the VR mode, creating part 2 of the game that you ported and bringing back the original developers of this game? And so many people do not start the game after the patch. This company cosplays Altera perfectly

An update after 3 years just to brick all our mods, conveniently around the time the early access for Subnautica 2 would've dropped. They for real pulled an ARK Aquatica just to try and get us to jump to the sequel and forgot they pushed the release for the sequel back. Scumbag move, never buying anything from y'all again.

Love the game but the scummy company just pulled a move to screw over execs and devs that were promised a payout if they managed to get subnautica 2 to a certain level of profit by 2025. Pushing the game back to 2026 for no discernible reason other than greed and firing the 3 head execs that have been over the project.

This game captured my wanderlust like few other pieces of media ever have. It sucked me into this world and all I wanted to do was explore, see what was deeper, and I greatly enjoyed the crafting. The story telling in this game is very hands off, trusting you to go find whats out there, giving you the sense that your experience is truly unique. With the variety of biomes, there is good replay value as making your base in a new area can provide a new or different challenge. Some may find this game to be a diet horror game but I never had that experience.

10/10. Hands down one of the best gaming experiences ever. I platinumed this on PS4, and then again on PS5, multiple hardcore runs, now I'm beyond excited to play through it again on PC/mouse and keyboard, and jump into mods. I HIGHLY recommend this game, see it through to the credits, there is a story, but its hidden pretty deep.
