Today’s game is Subnautica. I actually had a friend gift the second one to me, but I’ve been weighing the moral dilemma of playing it and whether to actually keep it or refund. (It’s done by the original team, but that EULA… yikes). It did put me in the mood to play the first one though. Which I went ahead and downloaded and started a play through of.
It’s a lot prettier than I remember. Maybe it’s because I was streaming it through game pass when I first played but the night time especially is gorgeous.
I ended up going through the game a lot faster than I expected. I guess a lot of the game hinges on the mystery and stuff. Once you kind of know what’s going on though and know how to prep it goes way faster.
Like. I was in the Aurora by hour 5 (very rough estimate). I had the engines fixed up and I was out. If my estimate is right I might be done by 10 Hours.
Speaking of, I found it very easy to cheese the Leviathans just by swimming close to the wall. Then I swam in and fixed up the reactor.
Anyways, just a brief detour From Twilight Princess for me to relive so nostalgia for this 7 year old (or 11 year old if we’re going by EA release date). I might stick to this a little longer and beat it since it’s going way faster than I thought. It’d be fun to finally actually beat it and see the ending.

I can’t do this game. It’s so cool, but I always nope out. I know what’s coming and it’s nothing good. I don’t need to stick around to confirm it.

Imo it helps if you play on creative or something, so there’s no real worry and you can explore how you want.

Fair enough, my friend is in the same boat so I know what it’s like (he refuses to touch first one, he’s only wanting to play the second one because of multiplayer because it makes the horror tolerable).

Check out Nitrox mod for multiplayer in the first game. It’s pretty stable nowadays.
