Right now the UI to be a little basic and rough around the edges, but it's pretty easy to figure out. Although weirdly you need salt in order to cook things. They are salty fare if you eat them raw, however - so it's a good idea to cook them first.

Once you've caught some fish, you can head back to your pod to chow down on them before hunger has you in its clutches. I like the strange, alien design of the sea life. Hunger, thirst, health, and oxygen are all vitals that you'll need to keep track of.

Upon leaving the pod, you have limited oxygen to search around for food and supplies.įish are surprisingly easy to catch with your bare hands - and there's scrap metal from the wreckage all over for you to collect and use as crafting materials. This is an early development build of the game, it's not finished yet - but right now, all the basic survival elements are all there for you to explore. I love how your mission is not to just colonise one particular planet, but just space as a whole. You awaken inside a lifepod - and must set out to explore and survive. So, how do you find yourself in this aquatic wilderness? Well, after being appointed to a terraforming assignment as part of Earth's mission to colonise space - your ship 'The Aurora' mysteriously malfunctions upon descent, and crashes. OR an unlicensed version that sounds really similar! Yeah, but with all the coral and brightly coloured fish swimming around I found myself singing 'Under the Sea' anyway. Subnautica is a underwater survival game, and we should point out that was NOT the actual in-game music - the real music and sound-effects are actually quite ambient and appropriate. But what happens when you take a survival game and put it 'UNDA DA SEEEAAA!' And most of these experiences have seen us foraging for berries or setting traps, trying to craft tools out of sticks and stone - or scavenging abandoned buildings for supplies. We've seen many fine additions to the survival genre of late - it's very popular at the moment. Published by: Unknown Worlds Entertainment Developed by: Unknown Worlds Entertainment
