DestructoidJordan DevoreJan 20189.5/10Subnautica works brilliantly as a serene, lonely, contemplative adventure. It's one of those rare games I'd take to a desert island.

IGNT.J. HaferJan 20189.1/10Subnautica is a template for what open-world survival games should strive to be. It’s fantastical, fresh, and frightening from surface to seabed, with a story that kept on surprising me and a cast of sea monsters that quite literally haunted my dreams.

VGChartzBen DyeFeb 20184/10If you enjoy exploring for the sake of exploring then you'll likely enjoy your time with the game, but otherwise this is a title to pass on and never look back at.

Cubed3Coller EntragianJan 20266/10Subnautica offers a compelling underwater adventure with genuine moments of awe and dread, but middling pacing, grind-heavy systems, and a narrative that overstays its welcome hold it back from true excellence. Solid enough for those drawn to the premise, yet far from essential.
