    Subnautica: Below Zero improves on its predecessor in all topics, featuring a much deeper narrative and more varied gameplay that adds new mechanics and possibilities creating an endearing experience.

    While not revolutionizing the experience of its predecessor, Subnautica: Below Zero enriches and expands the excellent playful insights of Unknown Worlds, packaging a survival with a stimulating and inspired narrative background. If you are looking for an experience focused on simulation survival, but at the same time prefer to let yourself be taken by the hand by a guided but intelligent advancement, then you just have to sink into the abyss of 4546B.

    This can be a fiddly game, and certainly isn’t one for people who dislike mining or organising elaborate storage systems, but after a couple of years in Early Access this is now a refined and elegant experience, gently paced, where there is always something interesting to pursue through beautiful spaces. Voluntary isolation in the deep cold might not sound like solace after a winter of lockdowns, but Subnautica: Below Zero is cosy and moreish. Dive in, and you may be surprised how deep you end up going.

    Perfect as the first part, an interesting story. Good game on PS4. 35 dolars is good prize...

    The components for a immersive survival experience are there, but sadly, the game just isn't as entertaining, rewarding or fascinating asThe components for a immersive survival experience are there, but sadly, the game just isn't as entertaining, rewarding or fascinating as other survival games I've played on PS4. Nor as well thought out or polished. Nor is it as good as other underwater adventures we've had over the years on various consoles.
    In other survival games, I felt at home once I had learned the ropes and managed to build a good base of operations. In Subnautica, no such feeling has surfaced. I think I'll just reinstall No Man's Sky as it does it all so much better.

    I've discovered the original game purely by accident -- as it was free for download, as a part of the 'Stay at home' initiative. And it turnedI've discovered the original game purely by accident -- as it was free for download, as a part of the 'Stay at home' initiative. And it turned out to be one of the best survival games/stories I've ever played. So I was super excited to see this sequel being released, and bought it as soon as it came out.

    PROS: Improved graphics, about 20% of game is played on land with new creative elements, new base elements and vehicles. Few amazing new soundtracks that I'd genuinely listen to daily.

    NEUTRAL: Biomes are brighter and both biomes and creatures are far less scary.

    CONS: The storyline is somehow interesting, but not as deep nor intriguing as the original one - it's more of a flat story with no twists. Priced as the original game, but gameplay totals at around 1.5 days, in contrast to the original with 7+ days to finish main story. All in all, seems more of an expansion pack than a sequal. I'd recommend buying, but only if it's on sale.

    Cute game so far, very similar to the original... heard there was a bug where your first save would hang on "please wait" forever if you tookCute game so far, very similar to the original... heard there was a bug where your first save would hang on "please wait" forever if you took too long to save. So I saved early on and kept playing for an hour and a half. Encountered a loading bug like in the original, so I went to save and reload. And it froze on please wait, so I've lost that hour or so. Completely unreasonable for a game that's been in early access this long, especially when it's practically the same game as the previous. If this kind of thing is happening there's no reason it shouldn't have seen release yet. Expand
