It isn’t without performance hiccups, especially the deeper you go. But the breadth of content here and the open-world nature both in terms of playspace and just pure choice in how you go about it is something rarely seen in games.

Subnautica is hands down the best survival game I have ever experienced. I completely lost track of time while playing it and for the first time in ages I rescheduled my appointments and neglected my responsibilities to spend more time with a game. If I could I would hand out free copies in the streets so as many people as possible can see how ridiculously good Subnautica is. [04/2018, p.62]
A great game that took five years to make. Subnautica is an open sandbox sci-fi fantasy that can inch it's way into horror as you explore the depths of the ocean world. Just be ready to farm!

ja estou com +- 40 hrs e desisti de ir ate o final, embora a historia seja muito boa e o visual do jogo excepcional, e necessario muitas horas de farm para conseguir progredir na historia e sinceramente desanimei, mas essa 40hrs de gameplay foram muito validas e me diverti bastante, se tiver em uma promocao na steam vale muito a pena

This game is a absolute masterpiece, the lore goes crazy, it's the scariest non horror ever.

Melhor jogo do estilo, exploração absurda, historia solida e com sentido claro, dificil se sentir perdido, sempre tem algo pra fazer, e a exploração é impressionante, sempre tem algo pra te deixar completamente chocado, espero ansiosamente pela sequencia.

Subnautica is a great survival game that is totally unique. Despite some small issues it captivates and ensures that the player has a need to explore its ocean.

Subnautica is an exceptional game of exploration, crash-landing the player on an unknown planet with unfamiliar terrain, unexplored depths, and strange wildlife. While some smaller creatures will appear more afraid of you, it's the larger predators that will make your oxygen levels quickly drop with the increased heart rate. It's a game that captivates you as soon as you step out of the lifeboat with the gorgeous water effects and stunning environment.

Subnautica manages to valorize all those elements that in the survival titles that struggle to detach themselves from the sphere of "useful."

Subnautica links progression to dive depth and it pays dividends. It also provides useful tools and varied submersibles that facilitate the steady exploration of wondrous biomes far below the waves.

Subnautica is a very, very, very good game for fans of the survival genre. There is a near endless deluge of things to do and see and a vast, dangerous ocean to explore. It’s not uncommon to alternate between sheer dread and speechless wonder as you make your through this underwater wonderland. However, lackluster VR support and an overall density problem in terms of complexity and lack of direction at times hold Subnautica back from true greatness.

Excellent when it works. Building a base is fun, exploration with the Seamoth or Cyclops is tense and exciting, and you always feel like you're at the bottom of the food chain, checking your back to make sure you're not in danger. Though the visuals aren't always spectacular, they get the job done, and the voice acting is unexpectedly phenomenal. Conversely, the endless grind of food, water, and materials is tedious, there's many technical bugs (RIP my first seamoth, clipped into the ground), and late-game is a total chore. Still worth it, though you'll have to shrug off some BS from time to time.

Pretty dumb. Drowning within 10 **** the ocean..with a sci fi pod that can magically create entire med kits **** remove the salt from the water. Right.

This game is interesting and exciting at first but it doesn't take long before it all starts looking the same and then it feels boring and aimless as there is no direction in what to do and ends up feeling so repetitive as you are just continually trying to find resources which is tedious and boring. This game is too much of a chore. Even though the setting is unique it's not very interesting game play wise. Searching the seabed for materials isn't fun for me. It's ironic that a game with a vast ocean has no depth and is actually very shallow with not much to it, not my kind of game it's too boring.
