If anything, it adds some personal stakes and focus to a world where goals can and do shift with every little discovery. I don't think that's something the series needed to do (I'm perfectly happy with silent protagonists) but having more chatter bouncing around doesn't take anything away either. As the rebellious Robin, you're a voiced character, and you're not totally alone. You still get much of it from audio logs found in wreckage. Down you go as a rogue researcher to scan fish, craft underwater mechs, drill for copper, and build a subaquatic base of your own while poking your oxygen mask into every coral reef and icy tunnel in search of the truth behind your sister's death.Īlready you can see a stronger focus on story than its predecessor. But they've been careless enough to leave abandoned stations all over the polar region of Planet 4546B, the same waterworld as the last game. Naturally, they're covering something up. ![]() The megacorporation Alterra says she died of "negligence". ![]() You're not a marooned crash-lander this time, but a self-exiled scientist who's trying to find out what happened to her sister on this alien planet. In this wintry follow-up, the surface hates you and the water is your refuge right from the start. In the first game you learned to suppress your desire to live close to an inviting surface. There are hailstones, sharp winds, thick whiteouts. In Subnautica: Below Zero breaching the surface is more likely to see you taking gulps of air in a hideous blizzard. It stranded you on a planet whose surface was an endless vista of tranquil water and peaceful moons. The first Subnautica remains one of the best survival games you can shake a stick at. Well, spit in my goggles and give me the bends, they've done it again.

You'll also be able to discover a recently deceased (and still terrifying) Ice Worm, repair the Arctic Spires bridge, and if you're so inclined, finally rescale the UI! There's also a bunch of new Snow Stalker behaviors, including reactions to flares, as well as additional story clues to suss out as you explore the world. You can now recycle any unwanted items, warm up by brewing a cup of delicious coffee, and most importantly of all given the update's name, grow and assemble your very own alien salad! Instead of further expanding the game world, the Salad Days update has brought in a whole host of improvements and additions to spice up the existing biomes, as well as some fun new machines to toy around with.
