Today’s game is Subnautica. After hearing the news about Krafton i was really disappointed. This was a big game to me when i was younger, and i’ve kind of been trying to figure out how to play this without budging on my morals. The answer seems kind of obvious, but it was hard to pull off for me for some reason.

Anyways, i just wanted to make sure everything worked, yknow? So i just loaded up a creative save and made a little base for 40 Minutes. The one above is the “Bedroom” i made. I’m a big fan of water and so i put lots of windows in.

I also built a observation sphere to just watch from. The screenshot doesn’t really capture it, but the view was gorgeous. Almost pitch blackness with glowing things in the sea, it was really pretty. I like seeing the pretty side of this game highlighted. I always hear from friends about how scary this game is, but also sometimes i feel it can be beautiful.

I also built this central living quarters with a fish tank. I had trouble getting the fish in until i realized i had to actually build a door to get in, so that was an embarrassing struggle.

By the point i was finished it was already getting late, so i decided to relax before my new years plans (Wii Sports, as is my tradition). I just sat in the dome and chilled, while listening to the soundtrack and other music. It was a chill experience. It’s a shame i won’t get to experience it with the sequel.

I don’t want to end off on a sour note about something negative, so i just want to wish everyone a Happy New Year! It’s been crazy to think I’ve made it this far in my screenshots. Even if this isn’t the Second Year mark, i’m thankful to have gotten to do these, it’s a blast getting to play these games and sharing them with others.

    Happy New Year! I do love Subnautica myself, and I’m actually working on a building/creative playthrough rn with the large rooms that I’ve never used before, for fun (so much titanium!). And if nothing else, I’m assuming you bought the game before the whole… whatever is going on right now with all that. You are clear to enjoy.

      I ended up getting it through other means I’m not sure I’m allowed to mention (though I own an Xbox copy too), but a friend who checks these had a Steam Key from a while ago I guess that he just forgot to use it, so I guess I got a moral and legal copy. It’s a shame about Below Zero, I doubt I could pull luck like that again.

      I hope the base building goes well! It’s definitely a therapeutic experience just sitting back and building
