    A Horror game disguised as a ocean survival game

    First of all, this game isn't as scary as the usual horror Games nowdays but it's pretty scary. This game will force you to explore to progress the story. I had a couple of encounters with some big sea creatures and it scared me trying to avoid and run away from it. The goal of this game is to go deeper and you'll need supplies for that so exploring is 100% necessary. You build bases and explore, rinse and repeat and add some terrifying creatures then that's subnautica and That's why this game is so great. This game is very relaxing and addicting at the same time. The scenery and creatures are 10/10, and the storyline has insane lore to it.

    Best sandbox game of them all

    10/10, sure could improve some things but in general it's a masterpiece from beginning to end

    Friends

    Good people, I have only written one other review in the 12+ years I have had an imdb account so please understand how good this game has to be for me to take the time to write a review, This game is unbelievably good, With an excellent story, So much to explore and fun gameplay with no handholding, I highly recommend giving this incredible game a chance, Being completely objective however I must point out that there is the occasional glitch that will cause a vehicle you use to sink into the floor, The creatures you encounter will occasionally be able to kill you as well if your skill level is low because of glitches.. And unfortunately the rendering distance is poor.

    In closing, Subnautica is wonderous, with treasures to satiate desires both subtle and gross. But it's not for the timid.

    A deep dive into your own subconscious

    This game is one big (and amazing) metaphor for shadow work. Once you breach the surface for the first time you begin facing the (initially) uncomfortable truth of who you really are. Monsters start showing up pretty quickly and it terrifies you, but the more you familiarise yourself with them the less dangerous they turn out to be. Some can even be tamed (for a short while). And the more you begin to master the environment, the deeper you're able to dive, and the bigger and scarier the monsters seem to be. Until you find out how to handle them as well and the true fear of death you experienced earlier when confronting these beast steadily becomes less and less. And ever deeper it goes as it must. Until you cannot go any deeper... I won't spoil what you find there, but it might turn out that you're not too bad after all once you've uncovered the deepest truths of who you really are.

    Have a great journey on Planet 4546B - I know I did for almost 100 hours on the first playthrough.

    Oh, and one last note... Playing Subnautica on a screen is a nice experience. Playing it in VR is 'effing' amazing - even with the half-baked and buggy VR support. Just make sure to install the VR Enhancements on Nexus Mods.

    I love this game!!!!!!

    This might actually be the best survival game ever made! There are so many reasons why I love this Game. Here's my list 1. The story: The story is great. Basically you land on this abandoned planet the has a very deadly disease on it called the Kharaa. Your goal is to get off the island without being infected. 2. The setting: This maybe one of the most beautiful game I have ever played. The water looks amazing. Don't even get me started on the way the light bounces of surfaces and the water. 3. The sound/music: OH MY GOD THIS GAMES SOUND DESIGN IS OFF THE CHART!!! Not only is the music awesome, the sounds of all the creatures are absolutely amazing. 4. The creatures: The animals are very creative. The game devs made Giant scary water monsters and also sweet creatures that you cant help but love.

    If you're not sure about buying this game I would watch JackSepticEye's latest play through of it. Then you might buy it.
