Exploring a frigid alien ocean feels isolating and eerie, with moments of awe punctuated by tension as you scavenge and build to survive.

What players say
Players are split on Below Zero. Many say it is a noticeable step down from the original, with a smaller map, weaker leviathan encounters, and a story some find poorly written. Others enjoy it as a shorter, more narrative-driven spin-off with improved base building and the modular Seatruck replacing the Cyclops.
