This is a very cool detail that I don’t see touched on enough in the media covering intelligent alien life. During the initial transfer Robin experiences some pain and it is revealed that due to the Architect race’s lack of differentiation between cybernetic and organic components, the Alien (who nicknames himself AL-AN) has instead decided to make himself home in Robin’s brain. This is technically temporary as you are also tasked with rebuilding a body for this alien, but that is only accomplished towards the end of the game, so be prepared to live with the guy for a while. Upon requesting that she find a vessel for his mind to be transferred into, Robin offers her PDA (if you didn’t read the last review, it’s essentially your digital assistant & inventory/data manager used throughout the game). I legitimately had to collect so many materials that I found it worthwhile to put each one in its own locker… and this is only some of them.Įarly in the game you encounter an SOS which turns out to be from the same race of aliens (The Architects) encountering one of the species who had uploaded his consciousness into a digital format due to the virus outbreak that was killing off their species. Thankfully there are non-survival modes if you want to play through without worrying about all that though. Honestly, it feels like the grind should have been cut in half.
Still, it wasn’t anything too crazy and I wouldn’t be surprised if I spent 30-50% of my time just collecting the basic resources like Titanium and Lithium. Also, it could just be me but I feel like I had to gather WAY more materials than in the last game, although I built a much bigger base. At least for the first chunk of the game, I was collecting mostly the same materials and crafting mostly the same tools, vehicles, and base parts. I did some exploring and while there were some cool new fish to discover, it quickly became apparent that everything felt a lot like DLC rather than a true sequel. No more huge, burning ship in the distance and the same small pod that the previous game began with. Still exciting, but the game really starts out the same way the last one did, and with less excitement. Turns out, land isn’t much safer than the ocean.Īlready things were feeling a little bit flat for me. After escaping the burning ship she heads out to the drop pod that was deployed and your adventure begins. Unfortunately she strikes a meteor on the way down and makes a crash landing. Refusing to believe that her sister even had the ability to be so careless, she takes a ship to Sector Zero of the same planet the previous game took place in, 4546B, to investigate the situation for herself. You are following the story of Robin, the sister of an Alterra corporation employee, Sam who was said to have died from an “accident”. 20+ hours later, I am now ready to review the sequel to one of my favorite games of all time.Īs is obvious from the title, the game takes place in a… cold place. After some delays, including a major story rework, it’s finally here for us to play and hoo boy did I play it. I was very much excited and waited patiently for the game to drop. I can’t think of a better choice of environment for a sequel – the arctic is mysterious, and I’ve heard loads of things about cool sea life out there. Not much was shown but it sounded AWESOME. It was a notice on the menu screen for an upcoming sequel titled: Subnautica: Below Zero.
#Subnautica 3 game for free
Yes, while MicMan may have written our review, he was not the only one who enjoyed the adventure.Īfter getting to the end of the game, wondering how they were ever able to offer such a product for free in the first place, something caught my eye. It was easily one of the best and most beautiful games I had ever played, with wonderful twists and turns, exceeding my highest expectations. Fast forward a year or two, I finally gave it a second shot and was absolutely floored. I turned it on, swam around and got a few fish, and then decided I wasn’t feeling into the adventure.
Most of these games I never even plan on playing, or boot them up once and forget about. It was the first free game they ever released, setting a trend that continues to this day and has caused my library to… explode? Around Christmas 2018, Epic Games released Subnautica for free on the Epic Games Launcher.
