Garbage. It’s a terrible game. It’s really bad. It crashed again and again. And I opened it again and again. It’s just a waste of my time. Although you can see the fascinating ocean, you can also see a variety of fish. But unfortunately you can do nothing except watching. So why don’t I go to see a real ocean documentary? I think it’s much funner than this game. I don’t think it’s a casual game because it doesn’t make me feel relaxed, it makes me feel irritable.

Easily one of my favorite games in recent memory. Rewards thoroughness, careful planning and knowledge of game systems (which some have quite a learning curve especially when starting out).

This game is a lovecraftian mesh of QWOP, SS13, FTL, and more combined. Easily moddable, and the Submarine editor could be an entirely separate game in and of itself and i’d be fun to build.

While the crews (AI) you can hire are generally OK, there is a lot you really do need other human players to do for exploration and combat outside of the submarine which hopefully gets rectified in the AI overhaul.

the game has a bit of everything in it, can be amogus, sea of thieves and has terraria-like combat and is well designed for pve and pvp, and the micromanagement (for the lack of a better word) when operating a sub with a crew allows everyone of all roles in the sub to have an equal amount of engagement, normally i go bunga when making a review but this game is so well designed for what it intends to achieve and that it appeals alot to what i like to see in these sort of games that i just had to commend it here.

Lots to learn as the game is new and progression to start off is a little ruff but once you get going you start to find a groove and progression picks up the pace as you need to find the Sampler Blue Print as fast as you can so you can then scan the Kelp to get the Kelp Sample. I at first felt the swimming might be a little slow but quickly noticed you can dive very deep and with that it makes it feel more realistic in a way 300M is as far as I have made it to at this time but Plan on jumping on after I complete this review and see how much further it can go I Found a Spot in one of the Biomes that Could Go Way Further down than 500m and That is where I hit the 300M and wasn’t Keeping a close eye on my Oxygen. Graphics look Great all around and has room for improvement if they so feel the need to do so. What Made me look for a game like this Was Subnautica I had a Survival World Going On My Brand New PC went to save Subnautica Below Zero and my screen save incons froze on the screen but closed the menu and then wouldn’t save it had the game bugged out I open the menu back up Save incons still on the screen in the background and now won’t save but give the option to quit but not save an hour and forty five minutes worth of gameplay. So at that Point I Said No thanks to that and figured if that’s going to do that on a game that has more Support and is out of the alpha stage at this Point and still corrupting data like that on a new pc something needs to be taken back to the drawing boards and Re-Worked. This Is Also My Opinion And Everyone Is Entitled to have Their own Opinions. As I Progress Influxis I might come back and either add to or change some stuff with my review but as it Stands right now I would Say dive in! this game is fun but remember It is also in the Alpha and needs TLC along the way so finding Blue Prints is the slowest part once you have them you do start to progress much quicker and Remember SCAN THE KELP WITH AND IT TAKES LOTS OF POWER, GET EXTRA SAMPLES On the first Trip.

i love the concept already! of course, its in alpha so ALOT of things need to be ironed out, but thats the whole point. so far ive obtained a breather D1, and im working on getting a propulsion device. so far visually, for an alpha, the game is stunning, i’m in love with the character models, and i also love the music. Though, you were a bit cheap with that stupid underground worm scare, that made me scream quite loud. i’m an avid subnautica player, having over 70 hours on both below zero and the original. and this game gives me the EXACT same vibes, i read through all of the logs aswell! i like that fabrication is a proximity thing, instead of a prompt to open it. reminds me of terraria.

Excellent sound design and use of shading that makes the grayscale pixel art breathe

Also I did the ending theme and it sounds pretty rad if I say so myself 👀

My Experience

On paper, Subterene “checks a lot of my boxes.” I liked the game’s unique aesthetic and interface, it’s advertised short run-time, and the idea of slowly piecing together this mystery that has occurred beneath the floor of the ocean.

Unfortunately, playing Subterene is a slog. The game gives you very little direction while you stumble upon probes and bumble from one mining depot to the next. For some this may make the game a true “exploration” game, but not for me when the act of exploring itself is so tedious. The speed at which your mining vehicle drills, turns, and accelerates is just PAINFUL. This is only exacerbated when your vehicle becomes caught on some small piece of a block, which happens ALL THE TIME.
