I feel obligated to write a review of Subnautica. It is absolutely outstanding, and one of the best games I have ever played.

The basis of the game is incredibly simple, yet brilliant. You have crashed onto an alien ocean planet, and have to survive. The deeper you go, the more danger you face, and for greater reward. However, this is no sandbox game without a definite goal or end-point. There is a story here, beautifully vowen into the game for you to follow and uncover at your own time. And herein lies the true strength of Subnautica. The game flows at the perfect pace, as you yourself set and dictate the pace entirely for yourself. You can spend countless hours just scanning plants and lifeforms, building bases suited for your every need, but any and all upgrades you desire you will have to go out and look for. And you might just find something you didn't even know you were looking for in the first place...

The immersiveness of the world here is just unreal. It feels so alien, yet so welcoming.. so packed with secrets and mysteries.. so dangerous yet homely, that it is impossible not to fall in love with planet 4546B as you become more and more familiar and comfortable with it.

The soundtrack and sound design of this game also deserve big props. It nails the balance between underwater magic and horror, and will always set your pulse exactly to where it needs to be for any encounter or biome you should find.

If you ever dreamed of being a marine biologist, this game will be your life. But it might just become that even if you're just someone who loves the ocean, exploration, a good scare, an immersive world, a feeling of accomplishment, or just a damn good story. As someone who loves all of the things mentioned above, and have spent countless hours deep-diving into immersive single player titles, I can say without a doubt that Subnautica is one of the best, and one of my favorite gaming experiences of all time. It has moments, places and feelings that I would give anything to forget, just to experience them all over again for the very first time. This game is a pillar in gaming history, and one that I will cherish for the rest of my life.
