    Possibly the greatest sci-fi indie game of all time!

    This game has everything, -Adventure -Survival and Creative modes -Some thrilling horror aspects -A deep story that's easy to grasp the basics of but has many small parts that can be discovered -Great graphics for its time I absolutely love this game, and I've completed it enough times to say that it has amazing replayability because there's so many different ways to go about completing it.

    Amazing Underwater Experience

    This is the only survival game I can stand to play except the sequel, and it's amazing. Highly recommended! It's still a tiny bit buggy even now, but the visuals, story and feel are amazing. If you have thessalaphobia, I suggest looking elsewhere besides a survival game that is played almost entirely underwater. Or if you like being scared, play it anyway. It's terrifying, beautiful, fun, and everything a game should be times 10. My only quibble is that the world is so big I have a tendency to get lost. On the other hand, I have a terrible sense of direction, so that might not be the case for everyone.

    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.

    Great game

    I first got this in early access with a humble bundle pack and really didn't get all that into it. Then I finally came back to it after it was finally released and man am I addicted. None of the other survival games hooked me like this one. The swimming may seem like a novel mechanic, but it really adds depth to the survival genre. It's a fun progression which has yet to get boring. It's simple, but not too simple which may only have it's draw back later in game play where the simplicity will show its face. For what it is, it's an amazingly fun survival game with a fun surprising story along the way.

    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.
