I've avoided playing the early access version for years. Hope its worth the wait.

They went out of their way to market it as a "standalone expansion" rather than a sequel, in order to temper expectations. Making a Subnautica 2 would be like winning the lottery twice in a row.

Said by the devs this game isn't really supposed to be a true sequel more of a 1.5 but it was said in one of the trailers so it's understandable

Ive waited TWO YEARS for this game im so frickin excited to pick up my preorder on friday

Cant wait to play this for the first time and get scared because of a peeper

So Cute he should have closed his eyes and then got woken up with the dreadful message that a Leviathan-class reaper is approaching to remind you that this is a horror game lol

Downloaded already and waiting for full release ❤️

This game is incredible. Can’t wait for the full release ✌️

been holding off playing the early access for like 4-5 months cant wait to play this.

This was really a nice review by IGN, can't wait to play the game!!

It seems this game is definitely not as frightening as the last one, but it also seems to be way more fun and full of content. Subnautica was not intended to be a horror game in general, it isnt even in the horror game genre, this game is much brighter less scarier and enjoyable for some people, but for other it might not be as fun as the horror aspects are more or less gone, not to say you won't feel scared nor alone. I'd say give this game a try, it might be scarier or funnier than you think it will.

Great game, nice review, except for the "emotional story part". I'm sorry, but with all the protagonists constant chatting and the clearly more straightforward story it didn't hit as hard as the Sea Emperors story from the original game. Silent protagonist having a lonely adventure in an alien world was a lot more immersive. Less is more. Subnautica is a success because of the world design and exploration, it doesn't need some overwritten plot to take you out of the experience. I'd say Below Zero is worth playing for exploring the awesome new biomes though.

If you love Subnautica then you will enjoy this game. It has nice quality of life changes, such as a smaller seaglide, modified recipes and LARGE ROOMS you can divide into smaller sections with walls and doors. Some biomes feel unfinished however and the endgame area (Crystal Caverns) is somewhat close quarters, with the last stretch covered with too many of a certain new leviathan and little else. Just think of this as a DLC since it's not something polished much like it's predecessor. Now if only they could have removed the fog from glass windows -_- 7.5/10

9/10 for those who are here for the score

Getting some strong Phendrana Drifts vibes 👀

Worth the wait, im still enjoying the first game of subnautica.

It really makes you feel like the temperature is below zero

Cannot waaaait for this!!

Subnautica is the type of game a gamer would use as an example to a non-gamer as to why they game.

Just starting to play the first game so it’ll be a delight to play this game aswell when it comes out 😊

2:00 I’m sorry, the WHAT?

Fantastic game, truly very unique!

At the end of subnautica you can see the Arctic area when you are in the rocket flying around in the atmosphere,so there was actually a decent amount of land on the planet.

This review is on point. It's great, but not quite as amazing as the original. And the land portion is really pretty lame compared to the underwater stuff.

So does temp switch places with oxygen whenever you have infinite oxygen?

The game it’s self is smaller but you can explorer so much it’s insane

Not really getting the immersive spook factor with this game. It's got its beautiful moments sure but.. doesn't hold a candle to the orginal in my opinion

My birthday is tomorrow and I’m so ready to play it

What's the name of the music that starts from 0:35 ?

It IS a standalone expansion, NOT a full sequel. This game started its life as a DLC for the first game.

Amazing game, but really need to work on optimizing CPU performance even more.

Hope we can get a real full blown sequel someday

Is it a coincidence or intentional that this review starts with the same verbiage as the original IGN Subnautica review?

Literally just bought this 15 minutes ago and I’m already loving the beginning

What about fairy fencer 2??

Below zero gives us answers from the first one about the aliens

This game looks wild. Only just finding out about it today.

Just bought it didnt know there was a main game. Gonna check it out also.

Remember when we used to call it the arctic dlc

Can’t wait to play this on my ps5

How well does this game run on ps4?

Play the first subnautica then the sequel for more enjoyment

Is this game worth buying & playing for someone that really doesn’t care or like survival games besides the forest?

How the HECK do you build the snowfox thingy?!

Wait, you can stack the module on the truck??

Unknown World if you see this, please... We just need more waters area and a scary big monster like the REAPER LEVIATHAN, For the next game 🙏 Love you guys ❤💯👍

fair bit smaller and costs the same as the original, but still an awesome game

this game is my nest ps5 I'm sure of it can't wait either.

On the PS5 does anyone's save got corrupted :(? It happened to me twice....

£25 for this! That's a steal by the looks of it

Video embargo is Friday ffs

Loved it!

This or the other, witch to buy on switch ?

Fantastic so far 4 hours in no bugs on my xbox one x

The ending is satisfied :)

im so happy its out

This on vr is amazing

Great game but too small in all ways.. content'story' vehicle's I completed this in 5 days

Hmm so 4546B has relatively few large marine predators in the temperate zone, but they are apparently in more abundance in the polar region 🤔

Subnautica sounds like my kind of game

Absolutely one of the best games in these years, WITHOUT A DOUBT!

YEET

Speaking of low combat, they removed the stasis rifle in this game :'( (still accessible through console commands but without textures)

What's better, PS4 or switch versions?

game is great, marg is hard to find tho

Tomorrow come midnight 🤗

No audio in the downloaded complete

9/10

The reason there's no true combat in Subnautica is pretty devastating and wholesome. Can't wait to dive in to this one sometime

Which is better? This, or the first one?

You can get subnautica and below zero for about 50$ which is a bargain

Oh wow looks a lot better than the first one

Hopefully now that this is out of the way, maybe they will give a little TLC to the original. There are still bugs to be patched that they apparently didn't get around to fixing before moving on to Below Zero...

VR support?

is this spoiler free? ive avoided the early access so dont want spoilers :D

For free on xbox pass

This game and its predecessor are the only games I've ever played while on headphones listening to something else.

Finally an almost accurate review

Hey! Pod Racing!

Dude the lily pad area scared the crap out of me

Oh yeah baby. Always wanted a snow game.

Subnautica>>>>village

Ive bought it in early access but hadnt played it

nice review !

Gud game

the question is, does this run great on switch?

Is the game complete?

Below Zero is one of the prettiest games around.

Nice Review

Anyone having framerate issues or screen tearing? The original had major problems for ps5. Wanna see if they ironed that out.

What can this game be played on??

That game is awesome

no more texture pop in?!

guessing it gets an 8

Waited until out of early access, completed it yesterday, IT'S amazing people!!

The content of an expansion at the price and dev time of a sequel. A+

Eyyyy a competent ign review

Why is this game getting hate for a smaller map? Walking across empty stretches of ocean for like half an hour isn't really a game feature worth preserving, i'll take a smaller but more densely packed open world every time.

“A variety of land predators” you mean all two?

Very important data and items in a hidden life pod? Hell yeah! *detecting multiple leviathan class life forms in the region are you sure what ever your doing is worth it* He’ll no!
