    Subnautica helped me vanquish (control, really) my thalassophobia and was a beautiful experience all around. This looks like they’ve made the emerged parts of the world a little more daring/alien than the first. Very excited to see how it looks in glorious UE5.

      Me too… in video games lol. Real water can be like a thousand times more murky, and wreckage can be full of dangerous rust and things to get your equipment tangled on 😞

      But anyway yeah it became one of my very favorite games and I even beat it on hardcore mode. The cyclops only tried to yeet my character once or twice lol

    I’m so incredibly hype for this game. I beat both the original and subzero on hardcore, which was an accomplishment for me. I could not be more pleased that they’ve reached an agreement where I can express my displeasure with Krafton by buying the game.

      The game engine itself was by far the most dangerous thing in hardcore mode 😆 But I got lucky and finished it too and it was a hell of a rush. More about caution and planning than mechanical skill like a lot of games.
