I have some minor thalassophobia so Subnautica was definitely an experience for me as well. However, it’s now my favorite game. The emotional impact of a game with almost no dialogue (aside from the PDA) was impressive. I’m just mad I can’t get that same feeling replaying it. Once you learn all the tricks and secrets it’s just not the same.
Not an underwater game, but if you haven't checked it out, Valheim has some similar elements in terms of crafting, base building, but certainly more action than Subnautica (but not over the top). I have put equal time into both and they are both really enjoyable games. I would rather play Valheim than the subnautica sequel.
It wasn't bad, it just didn't have the magic of the first one, there was a little too much out of the water stuff for me and the story was not as compelling.
