What players say

Players are split on Subnautica 2. Many praise the atmosphere, improved graphics, base building, and co-op, but a large group is frustrated by the inability to fight back against aggressive wildlife, calling it a downgrade from the original. Complaints also target slow updates and performance problems in early access, while others find the story and world engaging.
