by I started playing Subnautica with the intention of spending an hour on it and then going to watch the West Wing. I ended up spending several hours on it and I plan on going back as soon as I finish this review.
In what started as a very familiar intro, the spacecraft I was aboard broke apart and I got to one of the last life pods – no other apparent survivors. I crash land in the middle of an ocean, and start looking around for ways to survive. Unlike The Solus Project, my survival seems to be the main objective. Unlike FarSky, surviving and progressing is actually difficult and interesting, and the wildlife don’t all immediately attack you (well, except for Crashfish – Crashfish are jerks). For now, Subnautica is a solid Tier One (though I am just now feeling the pain of not having enough storage space, which turns a few things into a bit of a grind).
