Subnautica: Below Zero continues what the first game does, just a little worse. The inclusion of a voiced protagonist isn’t something that I think is bad, but the silent protagonist of the first made the experience of being alone on an alien planet feel more alone.
Most of the good parts of this game are the same as the first. Exploration and discovery are still great. Base building has been improved some, and I personally like the truck more than the Cyclops, but that might be more personal preference.
The downside to this game is the amount of time spent on land. Easily the weakest parts, some points on land made me want to stop playing. I had to push through to get back to the good parts.
No fault of its own, being so similar to the original, that first sense of wonder is a little tarnished. Still fun. Still lots of “wow” moments, but not quite as impactful as the previous.
