Subnautica is a crafting survival game where you are trapped on an ocean planet and must work to survive and try to escape the planet. Unlike most survival crafting Subnautica has a story and there is an actual ending where you leave the planet. The story is very deep and involved and you’ll find different things that add to the environment like audio logs, abandoned structures and more. There are a variety of creatures that you’ll find from cute little fish to massive leviathans that will try to eat you.

Subnautica is a beautiful game and the environment is one of the strongest aspects of the game. It’s beautiful and breathtaking, especially at night with all of the different color things that light up. You are also able to build your own base and different vehicles that will help you survive and reach different biomes.

The game is fun to play but it can be counterintuitive sometimes. There would be parts where I had a hard time finding a specific item or reaching the next environment. I would also run into bugs where a mountain wouldn’t spawn in until I was inside it resulting in me being glitched into a mountain and having to restart the game. However Subnautica was a fun game and I was able to look passed these flaws to keep playing and find out what happens next in the story. I’ve heard many players wish it had a co-op feature but I believe that it works better as a single player game. The feeling of isolation and being the only human on a completely alien planet that couldn’t care less if you were alive or dead really adds to the story and it feels much more like an accomplishment when you overcome obstacles. Subnautica is a game that I would highly reccomend playing, it is one of my favorite games to play and I would recommend going into it blind so you don't spoil any of the story.
