There are a lot of survival games where you’ll eventually build yourself up to a point where you can survive any threat, and Below Zero has that to a certain extent, but the leviathans will always have you hiding or running in fear.Below Zero is an underwater adventure game set on an alien ocean world. The sheer scale of the threats that stalk you is awe-inspiring, and the fact that you’re so powerless in the face of them is kind of refreshing. You’re going to remember the times where you’re trying to find a new material, or catch a new species of fish, because that’s when things will become truly horrific and all the more enthralling.
You’re a small fish in a giant horrifying pondĪs is often the case, Below Zero is one of those survival games that really thrives on the moments that happen to you specifically, not the ones that the story delivers to you. That’s part of the appeal though, because those points at which you’re drifting through the water with a vague idea or goal in mind are when Subnautica: Below Zero is at its best.
The only issue, at least for me, is that sometimes I got so perplexed over what my next step was that I ended up feeling a bit lost. The voice acting that tells the story to you is good, the narrative beats generally hit pretty solidly, and the core concept of the game is one that is so innately interesting that it’s hard to ever stop thinking about. This is the main loop of the game, but while a lot of survival games are literally just about that, Below Zero has an interesting narrative pushing you to keep living and making progress. You then have to search around for materials, cute/horrifying little fish, and anything else you can get your hands on.
