Subnautica (PS4)

Grandson really liked it, a good buy.

Ignore people writing reviews saying the game doesn't save or that it crashes. These are incorrect; the game saves fine and I haven't had it crash once. It does freeze/stutter (at times) when I surface for air, but I've had no other performance issues following the very quick post-launch patch. Subnautica is brilliant, a beautiful, immersive, underwater survival sim that does away with the handholding of most modern games. I looked up a couple of YouTube starter videos to get a hang of crafting the basic tools and survival equipment and would highly recommend Jade Plays Games. The game does direct players through radio messages, so keep checking the Habitat Pod for new messages. This will probably be my Game of the Year for 2018. Subnautica can be relaxing, tense, surprising, unforgiving, wondrous and highly rewarding. It's a game like no other with diverse biomes, alien creatures, open ocean, deep sea caves, kelp forests, grassy plains, thermal vents and loads of discoveries. Once you get a grip of crafting food/water, your most important tool is the scanner. Learn to scan everything possible and the player quickly comes across new survival blueprints. I'm between 6-7 hours into the game and about to build my first base (or attempt at one). I still feel, however, as though I've only just scratched the surface of what it has to offer. I've also witnessed two in game events which will stick in my mind for days (maybe even weeks) to come. The story, despite being told indirectly without cutscenes, has quality voice acting and has genuinely held my interest. If you love quality/survival games and don't mind the lack of tutorials, I can't recommend Subnautica enough.

This is my kind of game. Its quite sedate and relaxing. Apparently you can complete it in 20 hours. According to the game I've been playing for about that long with no end in sight. The game is basically a crafting game where you collect resources and build tools to collect better materials to make better tools. :) But it's a lot better than it sounds. Its not a violent game, You have to eat fish to survive but stabbing the bigger fish with your tiny knife is pointless. To me the fact that the game is basically a pacifist game is neither a good thing or a bad game. The only downsides to this game are the fact that it can crash. Until you connect to the internet and patch the game. You have to be carefull to not switch your PS4 off while the game is still saving. Because it takes forever for the game to save. Along with the random crashing you can end up losing progress. (The patches generally fix these problems) Also it suffers from the same problems as all other crafting survival games. Deaths over hunger/thirst. Not knowing how to find the raw resources needed to progress and the constant temptation to look on a wiki page for what to do next. When I first played this game I was swimming around in circles dying of thirst over and over again until I looked up how to find salt. :) Now I have a big underwater base with lots of equipment inside it that makes surviving easy and I really enjoyed playing this game and will keep returning to it to discover new areas and monsters and upgrade my base more.

Your mother-ship crash-lands on a mostly ocean planet and you survive the explosion in your escape pod and wake up in your pod with a few supplies, and a helpful AI to help you survive - which at first is just food / water (and scientifically record all the alien sea-life / vegetation you come across - and the more you learn the more things you can construct) You start in "The Shallows" a fairly friendly area of sunlight through kelp forests and darting little fish...But as you go on and exoand your abilities to dive deeper (and even build submersibles and underwater bases etc) you find a DEEP ALIEN WORLD of slightly spooky mystery - if you get the willies not knowing whats beneath you in the murk, you'll definitely get a thrill out of exploring, and there's a LOT to discover and explore / secrets to discover etc In the world of gaming it's a truly unique experience thsat I found compulsively fascinating (and made by a small team of fellas who obviously CARED about what they were making - not just some bland corporate product) Support little teams who create excellence and have a DEDICATION to the craft (remortgaging their homes to finish it) like this in gaming = send a message that you're bored of the same old 6 game types over and over from the Monster-corporations with all their loot-boxes and DLC micro-transactions bloodsucking behaviour. PLUS - like I said - it really is a fantastic unique 'immersive' (hoho!) experience, where you take YOUR time to explore the way YOU want to, with just enough info to lead you into a beautifully crafted planet of ancient mysteries - without patronizing hand-holding BS I LOVED IT.......GO FOR IT!! :D

Purchased for my son, he was amazed it was here the next day. It was packaged well. Brilliant game

I don't normally like survival games but this one is very different. The game lets you explore at your leisure, and does not spoon feed you to go here or there and just lets you get on with it, one of the games main events, you don't even need to turn up to! The fear of the deep ocean is rooted in most people so this has a sense of dread from the moment you enter the water, to the moment you get the upgrades to venture deeper! Which you know you must do to progress the story and narrative, which is superb. I really enjoyed this game and would recommend it to anyone.

Produto de acordo com o expectável.

Heerlijke game om te spelen. Items zoeken en verzamelen, base bouwen en de wereld ontdekken. Levert soms prachtige beelden op. Soms even zoeken naar wat je nu moet doen, verhaallijn stopt soms even.

Molto bello anche se è un po' difficoltoso capire come proseguire a metà trama. Grafica e controlli molto buoni. Consigliato a tutte le età, non è assolutamente un gioco violento

Awesome game.
