Yeah, fortunately the fiction side of it is all great too! While the majority of the storytelling is done through radio transmissions and audio logs, there are events that will send you off to explore other crashed pods, and even salvage supplies and gear from the enormous wrecked shuttle itself - which is leaking radiation, always exploding and surrounded by giant sea monsters. Scanning items to add to my datapad, finding new species, sorting out materials into specific categories, it feels like science-fiction with the emphasis on the SCIENCE! (.well, alien science.) I actually played heaps of the early access, and I was just as happy to sink more of my time into this version just so I could continue to live out my dreams of some kind of spacey marine biologist! and it never feels like busy work because you're always striving for that new, shiny piece of equipment! The vehicles in particular are a real game changer. As you explore you're forced to take risks to reach rarer materials - using these to craft items that then allow you to venture deeper to find more materials and so on.
Well, monsters aside, it IS a really compelling gameplay loop.
Oh don't get me started on some of those creatures! What is it about underwater stuff that makes everything 100 times scarier?!? But you'll soon be required to venture further from the safety of your pod, which requires more advanced tech, designed from blueprints and scanned wreckage - head off without the right gear, and you'll quickly find yourself out of your depth. Starting out most materials are only a few feet from the surface - allowing you to craft basic items like a torch, repair tool and flippers - all using a nifty fabricator.

Plus everything you craft in the game is designed to let you stay under for longer. Yeah, limiting the amount of time you can spend underwater, is what really makes Subnautica play differently from other survival games out there - it drives you to make the most of every second you're submerged. It's quite an introduction, especially when you take that first dive into the sea! It's so beautiful, and I got so swept up chasing down little alien fishies and swimming through caves I almost forgot to come up for air! Which you'll have to do a lot until you can find enough materials to craft an oxygen tank - and even then you still have to resurface often to refill that! SO it's into the deep blue sea you must go to scavenge for parts, explore for crafting materials and hunt for wildlife to keep you alive while you await rescue.if it ever comes. After a little knock to the noggin' you awake to discover you've crashed landed on a planet that looks to be made up entirely of ocean - with only your enormous flaming wreck of a ship to use as a point of reference. The game opens to find you fleeing a doomed spacecraft in an escape pod.

It's rare to see a game successfully make that transition from early access to full release, and in the case of Subnautica - it looks like it was well worth the wait, the scope of this open world is truly awe inspiring - and there's a rather riveting story to pull you through it all too! Subnautica is a survival/exploration game brought to us by Unknown Worlds Entertainment - and it's actually been in early access for over 4 years now, with this the complete version looking VERY different from its initial build. So strap on those fins, top up your air tank, and maybe bring a spare wetsuit - it's time to head into the deep. Plunging into the submerged world of Subnautica you'll come face to face with all sorts of strange and wondrous sights that will literally take your breath away!
