This is not subnautica in space. It isn't even really a survival game in space. It masquerades as that in the first couple of chapters, but quickly gives up on the concept and becomes a linear task driven game with largely irrelevant survival and crafting elements required to progress. So long as you understand that, you might enjoy it. My advice is don't get too invested in building and crafting. It's a bit of a shame really because that aspect is somewhat interesting and has promise, but you might have fun with freeplay. The humor also tries too hard and reminds me of the "hello fellow kids" meme, but overall it was fine. I bought the game on special for under $10 and it was worth that for the ~20 hours of gameplay. I wouldn't pay more personally, and I doubt I'll come back to the game.

Main game took me 23.7 hours to beat. I don't think I played especially fast but if you really like building your own base (which I don't,) you might spend more. A fun space survival game with some flaws. Want to float around breathtaking vistas filled with asteroids, crashed spaceships and space cows while investigating what caused all the mayhem? This game might be for you. There's four main points that some people may love or hate about it: 1: The humor. To me it's hit and miss, and most of the bad jokes are frontloaded, probably because the opening section has such a buttload of them, making it feel like there's never more than a minute of quiet between the jokes, often less. 2: The speed at which you traverse. This never bothered me, yes you are quite slow, or rather, you move at a decent speed but the distances travelled are enormous and since you have finite air in your spacesuit you don't just need to go somewhere but often go back and forth multiple times. But to me complaining about this is like complaining about any other survival game mechanic like needing to eat, it just isn't for everyone, but there's nothing wrong with it. Besides, both the speed and air tanks get upgraded throughout the game. 3: There are 4 areas to the main game, the first one which is the longest (like 4/5 of the main game's length,) is openworld while the other three are more or less linear. Once you leave the openworld part of the game you abandon whatever you had built in that first section, yes you can return to previous sections of the game but there really is no point to it. Since part 1 allows you to build your own space station and some people really love that sort of stuff this upsets them, completely understandable. But the space station is in all honesty a completely superfluous part of the game, you only need to build it for a single module that allows you to research items that you haven't found complete blueprints for, and as far as I know, maybe all of those actually can be found without that module anyways. I waited until the very end of the first section until I built my station and did find it a bit odd how much stuff I'd collected that could be built there yet none of it really mattered. 4: The game does not guide you much besides quest markers and the comments of your built in AI companion in your space suit when you get really close to something interesting. Some people will love this, the game does have a robust system of tabs where you can read up on all the dialog and messages you've had, as well as all items you've discovered to find out both their purpose and what sort of places to find more of it, so as long as you interact with all the games systems that shouldn't be much of a problem. However sometimes when you have a quest marker in say a crashed spaceship, the way to get into said ship may be extremely obscure and you either stumble upon the solution on how to enter it, or you have to scour every detail of the outside of it to find some tiny thing that will allow you to progress. The game looks really good, although the indie budget does show through in a lack of animations for many regular tasks which are often just a circular loading bar on screen while you interact with something. There are coffins with AI which you can extract encrypted tapes from, there's a reader for those in your starting location which I never realised since I never returned there once I'd left so I only got to use the tapes once I reached the end of the openworld section of the game at which time I realised they contained coordinates to points of interest... all of which I'd already discovered by just playing the game normally anyways. I guess they're there for those less adventurous that need a kick in the butt to get on with the exploring. There were several items that you could make that just trolled you early on by making you waste resources. But also, later there were ones that I just never found a use for like the beef grenades, Scraper, bribes, chewing gum after you'd researched it. And then there's the soil analyser which can be used in a few spots but it really never does anything, so I guess you can toss that on the troll pile maybe, unless I missed something, it was never needed to progress anyways. There's also the kenotron which you could build which is used for one section of the space station you can build, but that section you don't even need... While the open world section rewards exploration with either stuff that helps you or eastereggs, the more linear areas of the game for some reason do not, like at all. I even found a spot where I fell through the floor once and had to reload a save in one remote part of this section and it wasn't even through weird geometry, just a simple flat floor. (For those wondering where, it was the forest dome, and just don't go to the far back of it to avoid this.) The DLC, Leia Center: Basically a completely different game where you are put into a test of surviving for 30 minutes without access to any oxygen station. It's all about replaying the same thing over and over and memorising where stuff can be found and planning the best route to collect everything without dying from asphyxiation. When you reach certain thresholds your future runs get another starting item. I can't say it's anything I'm interested in playing so I quit after my second attempt.

If you're easily offended by-.... anything, really, don't play this game. It's silly, it's often juvenile, crass, it made me roll my eyes, groan, burst out laughing and use an indestructible chicken as a doomsday weapon. The fourth wall breaking was pushed so hard I suspect the devs dislocated an eyeball with all the knowing winks, and the mechanics can be irritating at time. Subnautica, this really, really ain't. Still, no buyer's remorse. It does its own thing, and these days, that's rare enough to be laudable.

Pros: - Really - really - good sense of humour. Completely tasteful and completely entertaining. I mean this is probably where the game shines highest. - Solid construction progression and survival mechanics - Solid visuals Cons: - Veeeeeeeeery slow pacing. Almost nauseatingly slow. - Journal system tracking tasks didn't really correlate objective marker logos to objectives, felty like there was a lot of room to work in the non-inventory UI. - The GUI and over all feel of the game maybe a bit too "video gamey". Like goofy borderlands vibrant colours with a massive colour palette. Felt like a lot of rainbows and small attention span-esque high intensity visuals. - A lot of assumed knowledge, some items maybe need better descriptors. Like I had no idea how to create oxygen balloons to create a path in space whereby I could restore my oxygen supply. The description of the item alone doesn't explain functionality enough. Had to randomly come across it online. - Travel is also monotonous. Like the early game propulsion systems are useful but travelling between two points feels like a mechanic the devs fabricated to completely extend or delay gameplay time by hours. A majority of my game timefelt like holding down W, and shift lol. Over all, fun little Subnautica in space vibe but "not quite my tempo". Kept it as recommended tho because it's a solid game objectively speaking.

Why did I waste my time building that cool base and car when I get forced into a weird fetch quest with a stupid space ship far from either of those things. what a dull and poorly made way to finish a pretty good game
