The game has a few camera issues that relate to how the controls feel, but they give two options for how the controls work. The story of the game itself works wonderfully, and you must make many hard decisions in the game about what to do. Each decision you make along the main story line and related side quests effect the story progression much in way like mass effect series. The environments and audio are very moving. The game, even with the play control flaws, should get game of the year. Bravo CDProjekt.

I started following this game back in 2015 or so, when it first showed up on steam as early acccess. Since I'd been burned before by early access, the devs walking away from their project, I decided to hold off, and wait to see how this game went in development.

I have to admit, I didn't watch it much. What brought my attention to it was the steam add saying "Subnautica 1.0" so, I hopped over to check out the updates. on the store page. from there, I decided I needed to get this game. I checked out what metacritic was saying about it, and what players were saying. So much positive feedback about it.

I got it, started playing. I had no idea what to expect. The game doesn't do much in the way of handholding what you're supposed to do to get through the story. I spent quite a while in the shallows fearing for my life, or that a reaper would sneak up on me.

I slowly built up, then moved further and further into the merky world of subnautica. I gained eyes lateron in the shape of a sonar for my seamoth and cycclops. The exploration moved from crawl to warp speed at that point.

I see I'm at almost 90 hours, and still haven't finished the story. What's great is that subnautica doesn't force you along the story in a given time frame. It doesn't lead you to the next step, but it does leave clues in the form of PDA entries with vague but key information about where to go lext, or where to look.

This is the most amazing survival game I've played, and totally worth the 90 rating on metacritic.
