Dec. 2024

They told me it was a survival game. Nobody mentioned the survival part was sprint-swimming from a demon shrimp, fighting a sea cucumber with a pocket knife, and being stalked by things that shouldn’t have that many teeth—or that much rage. 11/10 would hyperventilate again

Why Subnautica Stands Out Intro & Positives I played Subnautica for the first time in 2024, and the this game really impressed me. Normally, I am not the biggest fan of the crafting and survival game because all of them feel and look same to me. But Subnautica manages to be different from others in its genre. It's not just about gathering resources and building stuff; it's about exploring this beautiful, mystical underwater world that feels alive. It is a game full of atmosphere, and mystery. The one thing I most liked was the underwater environment: detailed, creative, with various biomes, it really feels like a place. You get this sense of wonder when you swim around, find new areas, and see strange creatures. The story was interesting too and gave me a reason to press onward. Negatives With that said, there were certainly a few things I did not quite enjoy as much. There were points when it seemed I spent more time grinding for materials than actually exploring or enjoying the story. Also, some of the survival mechanics-such as managing food and water-actually became quite frustrating at times. The negatives for me were still significantly outweighed by the positives. Conclusion Subnautica, for me, was one of those games that felt very different compared to most survival games and had me hooked from start to finish. Having played this game, I'm looking forward to Subnautica 2, even though it doesn't give great signals.

Subnautica is a template for what open-world survival games should strive to be. It’s fantastical, fresh, and frightening from surface to seabed, with a story that kept on surprising me and a cast of sea monsters that quite literally haunted my dreams.
