And then there's Emmanuel, the love-to-hate expedition head who has become the embodiment of corporate doublespeak. Or Zeta, a squeezed middle-manager who prevaricates whenever her workers report problems.
#TECHRAPTOR SUBNAUTICA REVIEW DRIVER#
There is Fred, an affable seatruck driver with a Ron Swanson moustache. It helps that the voice acting is adept and all the characters have strong personalities, especially those in the audio logs. The story is thicker this time round, but it can still take a backseat. If anything, it adds some personal stakes and focus to a world where goals can and do shift with every little discovery.
#TECHRAPTOR SUBNAUTICA REVIEW SERIES#
I don't think that's something the series needed to do (I'm perfectly happy with silent protagonists) but having more chatter bouncing around doesn't take anything away either. As the rebellious Robin, you're a voiced character, and you're not totally alone. You still get much of it from audio logs found in wreckage. Down you go as a rogue researcher to scan fish, craft underwater mechs, drill for copper, and build a subaquatic base of your own while poking your oxygen mask into every coral reef and icy tunnel in search of the truth behind your sister's death.Īlready you can see a stronger focus on story than its predecessor. But they've been careless enough to leave abandoned stations all over the polar region of Planet 4546B, the same waterworld as the last game. Naturally, they're covering something up. The megacorporation Alterra says she died of "negligence". You're not a marooned crash-lander this time, but a self-exiled scientist who's trying to find out what happened to her sister on this alien planet. In this wintry follow-up, the surface hates you and the water is your refuge right from the start. In the first game you learned to suppress your desire to live close to an inviting surface. There are hailstones, sharp winds, thick whiteouts. In Subnautica: Below Zero breaching the surface is more likely to see you taking gulps of air in a hideous blizzard.
It stranded you on a planet whose surface was an endless vista of tranquil water and peaceful moons. The first Subnautica remains one of the best survival games you can shake a stick at. Well, spit in my goggles and give me the bends, they've done it again.
