      For real, it feels like I’m back in a time where the internet was fun and websites were unique

      I might have to buy Subnautica 2 just to show my support for this site

        I thought you were exaggerating, but after checking it out, it really does feel like a mid-late 00’s website, and goddamn do a fucking miss it. Everything online these days is flat, overly-simplified, absolutely corporate and sanitized to fuck and back. I feel like, on an atomic level, I’m closer to a frown than a neutral expression when browsing most of the internet these days.

        Also Subnautica itself fucking rules, good to see their website has just as much effort put into it.

      The original subnautica game is still gorgeous. I played it for the first time last summer and loved it, spent 80 hours to finish and don’t regret it for a sec, the atmosphere of that game is amazing. Just chilling in the “safe” sections is so relaxing after a long day of work as well

        It’s my favorite game to watch other people play. I loved sitting with my flatmate, looking stuff up to help them progress while they did the stuff that would make my thalassophobic ass involuntarily quit

      The first game is very good. Go into it as blind as possible and try not to look up a wiki on your first run.

      The second game…I think if I was to compile a list of “Ten prettiest screenshots from the Subnautica series” Below Zero would be responsible for at least eight of them. They stepped up the world design a bit. Primary gameplay loop is very similar, the story is a bigger disappointment than me.

        The gameplay got worse because they, instead of using their incredible swimming mechanic and undersea worldbuilding, added a ginourmous, empty, and boring bit of walking simulator. Those land areas are a nothing burger of plain white plane. Honestly the Walking in subnautica is pretty miserable but at least you dont notice it much in the bases and vehicles you build.
