Subnatica: Below Zero is an excellent survival game, being equally beautiful and terrifying. The narrative is strong but can feel out of place at times.
Subnautica: Below Zero is a leaner, meaner standalone expansion to Subnautica that improves on the story and mechanics, but doesn't give us as much room to explore.

Idk what i should say, it's my favorite game of all time (with zelda Botw), i love the world, the creatures, story is ok-good, it isn't kicking too hard my thalassophobia so overall for me: a 9.6/10, a 10/10 would be if: the game had more and better creatures, better graphic (but it's allready pretty good) and especialy a better story (overall it should contain more content). I love you Subnautica below zero

This is the best story-driven survival game I've played, it was somewhat difficult because there were no such clues and I had to think what to do and where to swim, there were still many moments where I was nervous, like the moments when I had little oxygen left or the moment when my crab I almost broke the leviathan or when I almost died when I collected all the components for collecting al-an from the same Leviathan, that's why I gave this masterpiece 10 points out of 10

Standalone expansion of a fabulous survival game that equals its predecessor.
If you liked the first one, you will love Subnautica: Below Zero. It improves everything previously played and adds necessary novelties to this sequel. Everyone who loves underwater world and survival genre will be delighted with this video game.
Subnautica: Below Zero is a masterfully horrific experience that encourages you to push on despite your fears. It's a fine balancing act of the horrors you'll face underwater and the rewards you can get for evading them. It's really very hard, but it's also really very good.
The new Subnautica is brilliant as long as you stay under water, much less so when you’re forced to leave it. Still, it’s almost as good as the original game.
Subnautica: Below Zero feels like more of Subnautica, and that is only a good thing to a certain extent. Where it falls short by copying its predecessor is in the story and thematic department, making it feel like an uneventful and unimportant step in the series.
It took me 26.6 hours to finish. Speaking about graphics and design, it is literally the same as the first one, this being one of the aspects I didn't really liked, but I can bare with it. Opposite to this, I loved the map a lo better than the first one, every single zone has a purpose and there are no pointless super deep parts with no light and a single Leviatan that kills you.
This game does not have a lot of characters but Margerit and Al-an are enough, it is a survival, I was not expecting a lot characters interacting but what I got was good.
Music and sound is a really good aspect, again mimicking the first one, but it works for an underwater game, nothing else to say.
And the last point... survival mechanics are simple, craftings are fun and the materials are not hard to find, and base and gathering progression follows the overall game "guided" path, something I really liked it.
Bad points? Graphics that had no upgrade since the first one. A lot of recycling from the first game and a short argument. The last one, not really a bad point since it is a survival game, but I like story driven games better, and this one is really not.
Really enjoyable and not too long, recommended but it is not a masterpiece.

If you liked Subnautica's quiet, reflective underwater exploration and are expecting the same from Below Zero you will be disappointed. BZ has far too much dialogue, and none of it is particularly good. You spend a lot more time on the ground in this one, which kinda defeats the purpose of the entire underwater theme. The vehicles aren't as interesting, the progression feels artificially slowed down to make you do even more busywork than in the first, and it feels like they sacrificed a great deal in order to showcase the story without realizing the story just isn't very interesting.
Give it a pass unless you wished that the first Subnautica was more talky and less exciting.

If you loved subnautica and are desperate for more this may temporarily satiate you but will leave a foul impression of subnautica with you. Would recommend you resist playing, look up the story and wait for subnautica 3
