About this Game:
  • Subnautica is an underwater adventure game set on an alien ocean planet. A massive, open world full of wonder and peril awaits you!
  • You have crash-landed on an alien ocean world, and the only way to go is down. Subnautica's oceans range from sun drenched shallow coral reefs to treacherous deep-sea trenches, lava fields, and bio-luminescent underwater rivers. Manage your oxygen supply as you explore kelp forests, plateaus, reefs, and winding cave systems. The water teems with life: Some of it helpful, much of it harmful.
  • After crash landing in your Life Pod, the clock is ticking to find water, food, and to develop the equipment you need to explore. Collect resources from the ocean around you. Craft diving gear, lights, habitat modules, and submersibles. Venture deeper and further form to find rarer resources, allowing you to craft more advanced items.
Good Deal?

This is such an amazing single player game. Don't read anything about it and don't watch Youtubes. If you try and figure it out without guides you are guaranteed to have one of the best adventures that will always remain with you.
Excellent game, well worth $10.
And to you VR owners out there! There is a VR mode for this as well.

Figured it's worth mentioning that Epic gave this away for free in December 2018 or something. So, there's a chance some of you may have it in your epic library backlog and just not have noticed... At least, if you're like most people I know - just collecting the games and still not really using epic for anything at all lol

This game was amazing on PS5 on a TV. Definitely recommend.
It seems from some light research the PC version has ultra wide monitor support. Can anyone confirm? It should be pretty amazing in ultrawide

Yes, I played it in ultra wide 21:9.

I agree with others to go in without looking up too much, as it could easily spoil it for you.
It's a great game, and I really enjoyed it even though I've never really played a game like this before.

I played through this when I got it in the Epic giveaway all those years ago. By far one of the most enjoyable & memorable gaming experiences I've ever had. It provides a genuine enjoyment from its progressive exploration in a way I have yet to see replicated in another game. Truly phenomenal, despite its plenty UX flaws. It easily became one of my favorite games ever, and I'm not normally fond of open world or survival games.

Definitely worth it at this price. Like others have said, go into this blind and you'll have an unforgettable experience. Play it with lights off, alone, and with a good pair of headphones. Enjoy the primal fears, senses of wonder, and genuine desire for exploration & discovery it surfaces for you.

I read in a review on Steam that said to use VR enhancement mods... I'm afraid of watching any YouTube videos and accidentally spoiling the game, but want to have the best first-time experience. Any advice on that front?
Yes, I would highly recommend using it. I played the game on flat-screen but tried it on Quest 2 without mods and it was rough.

This is the mod: https://github.com/IWhoI/Subnauti...hancements
There is also another mod that is being developed (I don't know if it is still being developed) that brings 6DOF to subnautica, but I have no idea how well it works:https://github.com/Okabintaro/SubmersedVR

Nope. It is a survival and is quite serious and relies a lot on psychological horror and building up tension. I love the game though, one of the greatest games I have played. The third game in the series should be revealed later in the year and will be playable co-op (up to 4 players) and on UE5.
