This is what happens when the map fails to load. Because Subnautica has framerate issues, a low draw-distance, loading issues, and so much more… if you want a game that runs smoothly, you should look somewhere else. So I can see why the game would be a little buggy… but I still think it could be better. Not that I can blame the developers too much, though they are always updating the game, and it was released as an early-access title. and beautiful.īut then there’s the actual game-not how it looks, or how well it is paced, but how it functions. And I’ll tell you right now-this game is buggy as all heck. Seriously, this game's locales are so diverse.

So I find it odd that so many games just make the ocean a single-biome coral reef, or underwater temple… but that’s totally averted in Subnautica. In this game, the ocean is vibrant, varied and full of life! It holds a massive array of predators, prey, and different locales for the player to explore-and almost every single one of them is beautiful. Seriously, if there’s one thing I can praise the game for, it’s the aesthetics. After all, the ocean is one of the most diverse, unique places on earth-it’s a place with several different biomes, where a MASSIVE variety of species live. And don’t get me wrong-that aesthetic is often colorful, vibrant and all-around beautiful. I see this almost everywhere-games where the underwater sections are literally just sand, water and some generic fish and foliage. Secondly, with the entire focus being on the alien ocean, the creators can make the game more than “just another water level”.
So, if the entire game is centered around traveling the ocean, then there is nothing to slow down from the pace of the game remains consistent, and the fear of drowning is not a risk that is suddenly thrown onto the player.
This is one of the main criticisms with these kind of levels when the player has to traverse an underwater area, everything slows down, and the player often has to worry about drowning something that is not present in the rest of the game. And although many may think that this would make the game less fun to play, the truth is, it actually fixes several problems that most water levels have.įirst of all, since the entire game is built around traveling underwater, the pacing of the game is never broken up. Almost the entire game takes place in an alien ocean, with only a few areas being above sea level. And these are only a couple of examples… in almost every game in which a water level exists, said level is looked upon with complete and utter disdain.Īnd then in comes Subnautica, a game which is entirely centered around water. For example, the Water Temple from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has become the target of many criticisms, jokes and even parodies, and the drowning theme from any Sonic game is often stated to be the sound of “pure panic”. In fact, it has almost become a running joke amongst gamers to make fun of these levels some of them are so infamous, they’ve become staples in the culture as a whole. They slow everything down, breaking up the pace of the game, the controls get screwed up, and they generally don’t have the best level design, either. Water levels are almost universally hated amongst gamers.
