After crash-landing on the planet, you’ll head to your underwater base – just a single, cramped room in the beginning with a storage locker and a fabricator – and head out into the depths to learn more about your environment and to grow your arsenal of tools and equipment. The biggest draw in Below Zero, of course, is exploration and crafting, just as it was in its predecessor.

It works on a very basic level right from the get go, and it only grows in complexity as you progress further, as you’re able to unlock new and better crafting recipes to allow you to cobble up an increasingly more complex and impressive home base.' It might not be the biggest draw of the game, but it will definitely keep you interesting in making progress to see what happens next. Below Zero puts a much greater emphasis on storytelling than its predecessor did, and for the most part, the story does its job really well. Officially, Sam, your sister, died through her own fault while studying and researching the environments of the planet, but Robin feels strongly for more than a few reasons that the truth is something else, setting her off on a journey of uncovering mysteries great and small. Subnautica: Below Zero sees you playing as Robin, who arrives on planet 4546B, in search of answers about her sister’s death. Its sequel, Subnautica: Below Zero, attempts something similar, while attempting to go bigger and better (as most sequels do), and once again, Unknown Worlds display a knack for crafting an experience with engaging exploration set in a mysterious, beautiful, and haunting world. Combining survival gameplay with the allure of exploring a beautiful and seemingly endless ocean, it delivered one of the most unique and immersive experiences of its kind.
