Picked this because i liked the idea of exploring underwater and had this on my backlog.
I was expecting a lot of exploring and a nice atmosphere. I got that. What i wasn't expecting was a superb crafting system that allows you to build a whole base and design the interiors as you like using a ton of different objects.
I also wasn't expecting a persistent world that remembers the location of each small object that you drop or move. I played a few games like that (PREY and System Shock 2) but Subnautica is of a much larger scale and remembers more stuff.
As a result, i can't stop playing. Send help.
The only issue is it's engine though. Graphically is fine, the water effects are some of the best and structures, vehicles, etc, look great. but there is an awful pop-in everywhere you go and the performance is crap, even on very powerful systems. In my case i get sub 30fps dips with the CPU and GPU floating around 40-60%, almost never using the system's full potential. That means the game engine itself can't cope with all the information i suppose. Plus, the save files are huge and can be corrupted (or so i heard) so i always keep backups.
Great game though. Are there any similar ones?
