  1. 43:30 People finding things when they're no longer useful and lots of things not being very useful in general is one of the most unsatisfying aspects of this game. Hope they do something about this is Subnautica 2.

  2. One critique i have with Sub Zero is that you spend too much time on the surface for a game called Subnautica. I think the balance was fine in the first one, but not so much here and the physics is a bit clunky on the surface as well as you sometimes float in the air and moonwalk lol. Anyway love the gameplay.

  3. So Sam, acting only on suspicion, but with no actual evidence of ill intent, commits with Margaruite basically an act of terrorism, destroying two Alterra facilities resulting in Sam and an innocent security guards death (Parvan). On top of this Sam synthesized a cure and still decided upon the explosive route rather than to simply cure the leviathan. Literally all of Sams co-workers think she was being overly concerned and there wasn't anything to actually worry about. How is Sam the good guy here?
    Furthermore, when musing about what would happen after, she was only concerned that Alterra would fire her. Any other Government would execute someone who attempted this, or at least give a life sentence, but Sam didn't seem to consider that likely? And after all that Alterra had the benevolence to tell her family that she died of negligence rather than terroristic activity.
    So the game really paints Alterra as the good guy and Sam as the bad.

  4. The Stasis Rifle was actually added early in the game's development but was later removed disabled (you can still spawn it in via the console).

    That aside, it's interesting how the lack of a powerful immobilizing tool makes the leviathans more terrifying. I've read of more experienced players who have yet to scan a Shadow, to this day probably, lol.
