Subnautica

TLDR: Don't play if you're a weenie that's easily scared of horror games, but do play if you want a nice exploration game

Pros:

• Really cool creature design
• Massive map that takes a lot of time to fully explore
• Atmospheric horror is very well done
• Game does take quite long to beat
• Extensively mapped out lore
• Good, simplistic mechanics
• Flexible gameplay
• Leviathans are awesome

Cons:

• Can be a bit too scary in certain aspects (Inactive Lava Zone, Void, Back of Aurora)
• Incredibly glitchy (constant bugging with animal models)
• Lack of updates due to support being relocated to Below Zero
• Plot, story and how to beat the game can be difficult for newbies

Conclusion: Solid game for what it is, would recommend for fans of other open world games such as RDR2, GTA or Skyrim.

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.

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 know that title might seem like a stretch for Minecraft fans out there but I am serious. This game is easily in my top 3 video games of all time. I'm not gonna spoil because the best part of this game is discovering what to do and how to play. PLEASE DONT SPOIL IT FOR YOURSELF. You will regret it. I watched a bunch of YouTube videos and googled everything in the beginning and I really regret it. The graphics, story, sound, gameplay, music, and overall feel of this games are just incredible. The only thing that is a bit of a problem is that it's a little bit buggy. Not much is game breaking but you probably will experience a few bugs in your play through. The last thing I have to say is how long this game is. I didn't expect it when I got this game but it can take up to 30 or 40 hours for your first play through. Get this game. Please

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.
