Subnautica is an underwater survival game about crash landing on an alien planet and becoming best mates with its fish. It surfaced from early access this week and John and Brendan have both been for a dip. Here they share their thoughts on leaky bases, scary whales and the urgency of an alien flu. Note: Spoilers to follow.
John: Here s a thing. I think it s impossible to discuss Subnautica – the Official Best Survival Game Ever Made – without spoiling it. Like, if we say anything beyond, You crash on a watery planet, and there are some fishies nearby, then we take away from the reader the experience we both had approaching it. So what I say is: if you haven t played Subnautica but want to, bloody well go play it and stop reading this nonsense. For everyone else who has, or needs convincing, we ll say some other stuff.
Brendan: I agree with all of the things this man is saying. If you don’t care about spoilers, read on. (more…)
