Subnautica

Solid game. I need to check out the DLC one day

my favorite game of the genre besides Green Hell (which is also beautiful)

An all timer for me...it was one of those games where I never wanted to stop until it was finished. Great graphics, gameplay, and an incredible soundtrack/score that really controls the mood.

I got my son an Oculus headset and if you think it's terrifying now, you have no idea.

Nice, thanks for the tips!!

Great game and it is one of JackSepticEye's favorites as well.

One of my favorite franchises. I'll recommend this game to anyone. Played both games and took my time doing it. I play on PC with everything maxed. So nice. It is a super pretty game. Great to play high as hell too. Just chill, farm materials, build a kick arse base, and go deep exploring. There's also a VR version of the game, but I don't think it's quite there yet as far working smoothly. If they can get that working great, it'll be a whole new game. That would be awesome.

Don't forget to build a 3 story aquarium too. Makes a cool feature for your base.

You are in for a fun and exciting time. If you're creeped out now, just wait til you start deep diving. Deep sea diving and Mariana Trench like stuff weirds me out BAD, so this game hit that spot and made it initially freaky as hell but fun as hell too.

I like the puzzle aspect to it too. It is freaky going deeper and deeper. After a while you sort of become desensitized to it though. Especially when you get the prawn suit and big sub. Man, thinking about the game makes me want to play through it again.

Wish they would come out with more dlc or a whole new expansion.

Oh yeah, the music is great. You can find music disks around the world and play them on your jukebox at your base or on the sub.

One of my favorites... it's actually a pretty damn good song. So nice having this playing when riding around the sub

Also, if you like watching youtubers play games, IGP loves this game and is a fun watch. Lots of Subnautica videos on his channel.

I played the hell out of it. I have about 400 hours in the game. The optimization was terrible but it didn't matter. The graphics and music are fantastic. The unknown element makes this one of the best horror games without it actually being a horror game. I started playing well before the actual release date so it is in much better shape today than when I did most of my playing.

You do have to like base building and storytelling by radio messages and data logs. Nothing is spoonfed to you.

Tips. Build your first base near the escape pod. Get used to all of the mechanics. I always build my next base in the red grassy plateau near the dunes. Easier access to the deep zones and then I build a final base real deep.

Exploration of the whole map is what the game is about so I won't give any key location tips.

One of the best games I’ve played. I’ve never felt a sense of satisfaction and relief from finishing a game as I did with subnautica. And things definitely get more dangerous the deeper you go. The first time I ignorantly and innocently ventured into the dead zone…

I’m working my way through Below Zero now.

I’m assuming you need to reach the main ship if you want to pursue this path? I’ve made a couple of ventures near the ship but couldn’t find a way in and the radiation wasn’t helping. The two times I made it closest I got eaten by some horrifying creature

Yeah, you’ll need the rad suit and probably should have the propulsion gun, too. Be sure to take at least 3 fire extinguishers with you.

Take all of the fire extinguishers. I never had enough. better to have too many than not enough.

Good advice. So annoying to have to make multiple trips because I ran out.
