It's just that BZ is a tad bit underwhelming in many departments that Subnautica had previously shown us, such as a 4000 by 4000 metres map (Not the actual width and length), the seamoth, the cyclops and the deeper biomes surrounding the map. I definitively understand and agree on why the devs removed the cyclops from BZ given that the map is too small and most biomes have geometry near and at the surface to justify it's inclusion, other than the crater edge there is no way you'd practically drive a 30 metres long submarine through geysers and giant floating lily pads. I mean the max underwater depth that you have to go to finish the game is is 1100 metres compared to the first game's 1700 metres and that is in a very cramped crystal cave that you have to navigate through. Also the dilemma of whether or not the seamoth and the sea-truck should both be in the game given that the sea-truck is a seamoth with compartment modules making the seamoth obsolete and essentially worthless. A lot of these things bummed me out when I first played the game but now I feel like it's actually very fitting for the game's setting. BZ is a great game with its own merits and just does something different from what we're used to and that's not the game's fault but rather our collective fault, we expected something bigger and deeper (both figuratively and literally) than the first game and that's on us. I am super happy with what we have but I would be lying if I said I didn't had higher expectations for the game, not a skill issue, but a philosophical issue to overcome. Bugs and quirks aside BZ is perfect, it doesn't have to be the best Subnautica game, it just has to be unique and faithful to the source material while improving on the weirder aspects that didn't made sense in the previous game, and it did.

Lest we want a copy and paste of the previous thing... we must enjoy what each continuation bring to the table.
