About the game
Set two years after the first game in the icy sea region of the same planet 4546B, it stars Robin, a biologist investigating her sister's death. Unlike the first game, the protagonist is voiced and there is far more dialogue with other characters, so the story comes through more clearly. New additions include the Seatruck, a sub you extend by linking modules, snowy land areas and managing the cold. The map is smaller and it ends sooner than the original, and it is a single-player one-time-purchase game.
Why we recommend it
The follow-up to Subnautica, where you explore an ice-covered ocean and follow the story. Shorter and more story-driven than the original, it also works well as a starting point.
Good for — anyone who wants a shorter, more story-driven taste of the Subnautica atmosphere.
