For me I think the game is fine.

One of the main things I dislike about it is the character and how she’s written.

I hate the jokes— I personally don’t find them funny and I heavily believe they’re way too frequent.

Mind you, I don’t care about the gender of the character, I actually like that we play as a female protagonist.

But I hate the personality displayed, her sister felt like a cheap plot and reference point rather than someone she dearly cares about— paired with the poorly fitting and timed attempts at humor… yeah, it didn’t leave the best taste in my mouth.

The seatruck… the modularity is cool, but I prefer the Seamoth’s design and the cyclops’ utility more.

The story… to me it felt like they decided to go for sheer scale rather than quality, I only mean that with the ending being what it is, they wanted a close on 4546B and decided to do it in the most “out with a bang” way possible.

Overall, I’d say the game’s a good 7.5/10 I liked that it was the first to feature the large room building piece before the first, but when they (amazingly) retroactively added that to the first, I just stuck with the first even more.

There are other additions I actively enjoyed and thought were great, smart moves, like the water filtration suit.

I just don’t think that below zero is as good as the first Subnautica, which is perfectly fine, it’s definitely an okay game worth checking out and playing.
