Early Access Review
Subantica is a beautifully detailed game produced by Unknown Worlds Entertainment. The game is opened world, sandbox, survival (It also has a hunger and thirst system to keep you on your toes!) and based in the ocean. For me this game was a blast to play when I first got it on February, 1. I had trouble deciding on if I should get the game or not. So I posted in the discusses asking if the game worth paying full-price? I got responses within the next day saying that my computer could run it, the money goes straight to development of the game, and that is a really unique and interesting game. So on that day I bought it and because of the hype I had for the game (I previously watched a little bit of gameplay on YouTube before I purchased the game) I played it for 6 hours straight. I couldn’t believe that the game was that addictive.

I myself I have good computer for running games, but for Subnautica I didn’t have a high enough graphic card. The graphics had to be reduced to minimal (would you rather have reduced graphics (50-60fps) or have recommend graphics and run the game at (20- 40fps)). But for my resolution it was at the max thankfully. I have no complains about the graphics, its my fault for having a high enough graphic card. Aside from that, the gameplay is magnificent and everything looks realistic as can be. But the game is still in early access which means that there is room for many unsuspecting bugs to appear here and there in the game randomly. But I haven’t come across major bugs in the game itself, but that doesn’t mean that there isn’t any present.

The game I pretty sure will still grow even more spectacularly, also the developers are very active and the updates impact the game positively. Also from reading numerous articles about the game it seems that the developers have a plan for implementing a multiplayer section in the game, but the game in its current stage is not yet ready for this kind of big update. Sometimes I freak the heck out when I hear random sounds in the game and when I swim alone at night.

I myself occasionally get scared when I go deeper into the ocean because I never what I may find…...


My Overall Score 10/10 – Simply Outstanding
