Subnautica is a horror game. I loved it.

To answer the obvious question - I don’t know whether this means it’s not coming to Steam, Epic Games Store or other PC storefronts, but it sounds like it’s a Microsoft-only joint for the minute.
Apparently the dude couldn’t be bothered to check the steam store page:
And just for the sake of completion, yes, it also has an Epic store page.
Lmao nice. Hopefully it doesn’t require Microsoft. Would love to play this on Steam Deck with my friends
Looks like your good. It doesn’t say a Microsoft account is required like it does on other store pages like forza horizon’s
(This may just be because the store page is incomplete)
Would this run and be playable on a steam deck?
Hard to say for sure yet, but there is no reason to include any absurd anti-cheat and as long as they don’t lose their fucking minds and decide to use some kind of insane drm, I reckon the answer is yes.
Idk the first one runs great
To be fair the steam page went up today
Below Zero scratched a bit of the Subnautica itch, but it didn’t reach the same highs. Hopefully Subnautica 2 can somehow recapture some of the magic of the first one.
Pleeeease let the second game be alone with no other characters other than if you’re playing multiplayer. The writing in BZ was uhhhhhh okay. I gave Subnautica an 8/10 but BZ a 6/10. On the real scale, not the stupid-ass game review scale. 6/10 is a good game with flaws.
They’ve got Seth Dickinson as part of the writing team and literally everything I’ve read of his is fantastic, including game stuff and his novels and short stories, so I’m hopeful.
That brings me hope!
BZ went from a solid 8 to a low 3 for me when they removed all emotional attachment you had after they decided they couldn’t do anywhere with their story when it was in beta. The new story they filled it with I just couldn’t get into.
But yea, they so need to have no other people for the immersion factor
My favorite thing about Subnautica was the awesome Cyclops sub you could literally build a base inside of. It made me crave more survival games where you have a mobile base like that and Below Zero really fell flat with their main sub you couldn’t build in.
Totally, I was a bit disappointed that this wasn’t straight needed. I think if they make a MUCH bigger map (and I think they could do that with just open ocean, the ocean is big) and have that mobile base take a much larger role. That would be dope as hell.
The biggest spooky factor of Subnautica was being alone and surrounded by the unknown. I guess they aren’t going for that this time.
Compared to the first, Below Zero was okay. I predict their third game is going to be “meh”.
The developers are careful to point out that if you’re one of “those who prefer the eerily beautiful solitude of solo play, Subnautica 2 will still provide that familiar experience, and prove equally as challenging.”

Did they fix all of the bugs? Subnautica 1 is still buggy as shit.
The IP rot industry continues.
That’s such a nonsensical statement, I don’t even think you know what it means.
unless they scrap all the below zero garbage I’m passing on it. I loved subnautica 1 but like they absolutely killed zero’s story and if they do the same with sub 2 then I am not interested. Below zero just didn’t have the subnautica feel to it.
