Let's Game! Subnautica 6/1/2016: Power Nap Update
3This overview is based off of the Power Nap build that was released on June 1st
I have been following Subnautica for a while now and it has turned into a survival game that I love to enjoy when I am in the mood for some relaxing exploration with survival elements. While not difficult, the crafting, building and exploration is top notch.
The player character is a member of a ship's crew that has crash landed on an oceanic world, filled with beautiful flora and wildlife, with a sprinkling of danger mixed in. The world under the waves is split between multiple biomes that provide the player with unique resources to be used in the game's simple but fun crafting system.
Strengths:
* Beautifully crafted environments give the player something interesting to explore, while also rewarding the player with new technology.
* Crafting bases and Vehicles feels epic and worthwhile.
* Seamless tiering of difficulty as the player adventures deeper and deeper under the water.
* Amazingly transparent team of developers working on the game, taking player needs and turning them into game features. Their last release provided a solution to a long standing player need and their Trello is available for all to see.
Weakness:
* Look elsewhere if you are looking for a brutal survival experience, food and water are abundant especially when a fully functional base is built. Most predators can be avoided, the rest can be dealt with with specific tools that allows the player to escape.
* Performance can be a serious issue to some, lots of pop in and stuttering movement, even with a strong rig.
The game is still in Early Access, and the new features the developers have cooking looks fantastic (and frightening!). Even at this point, the game is worth the purchase and I have been enjoying every content release since I purchased the game!
