Not quite as scary as the original Subnautica, nor does it do as well of a job of capturing the magical feeling I had exploring the ocean. But it still holds up on its own, carrying a unique identity, and overall it was certainly fun.

My main criticism is that there may not be enough guidance towards finding a key location or two. I had to resort to rather unconventional means to progress. Whereas in Subnautica, the way to go was blatantly clear: Down.
