unlabelledView post →BREAKING: The legal battle over hit game Subnautica 2 has come to an end. Krafton has reached a settlement with the executives it fired (via ChatGPT's advice). Krafton has agreed to pay the studio significant bonuses while CEO Ted Gill has departed (again). Story: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
unlabelledView post →BREAKING: Krafton has delayed the highly anticipated game Subnautica 2 to 2026, potentially costing the development team a $250 million bonus. The studio's leadership had wanted to release the game this year but were ousted by Krafton last week. A wild story: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
unlabelledView post →NEW: In a newly unsealed lawsuit, the former leadership of Subnautica 2 developer Unknown Worlds say Krafton sought to sabotage the game after realizing it'd be successful enough to trigger most or all of a $250 million earnout. A wild story gets even wilder: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
unlabelledView post →Background: Last summer, Bloomberg broke the news that Krafton had fired the execs behind Subnautica 2 and delayed the game months before it was due to pay the $250 million bonus. Krafton argued that the game wasn't ready. People who played it told me otherwise. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →great game, i love how its so beginner friendly as you can find loot caches at the back of the large spaceship and at the very edge of the maps. If you are having trouble progressing just go in a random direction until it says you have entered the ecological death zone (this means that there are no dangerous creatures) and there you will eventually find an upgrade for your system which will begin to leave tips for further progression into the game. Goodluck! <3

The water turns dark. Something large moves in the distance. Then I meet the love of my life: Reaper Leviathan This creature’s hobbies include: screaming directly into your soul grabbing your submarine giving you permanent psychological trauma Meanwhile the game expects…

unlabelledView post →The other point of contention: Krafton says founders Charlie Cleveland and Max McGuire were not involved with Subnautica 2 development, hurting the game. In the lawsuit, they argue that Krafton was aware of their roles and that Cleveland was working on a Subnautica film — that Krafton requested.

So, he followed ChatGPT’s advice rather than his lawyers’ advice, court records show. It failed miserably. @evystadium.bsky.social has more.

unlabelledView post →I’ve not been following the Subnautica 2 drama, but the bits and pieces I’ve picked up secondhand sound nuts. “Video game CEO in shambles after employees create very good game that sells extremely well, panics and loses $250 million.” Like. Uh. Sorry, buddy? That’s rough, I guess?

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I’m almost finished with Subnautica. What an absolute joy this game has been. I’ve wept so much during the last couple of hours, at each new revelation. It’s such a rare and wonderful thing to play a video game where the end-goal is to build, rather than destroy; to heal, rather than to kill.

unlabelledView post →Hopelessly browsing Steam attempting to discover a magical game that will make everything in the world seem better. Anyway, Subnautica is currently 75% off and thus £6.49 which is a frankly insane price for such a game...RDR2 is also 75% off but I am a gaming heathen who couldn't get into it.
unlabelledView post →Subnautica is a survival game on an alien ocean planet. It starts calm with exploration and resource gathering but quickly gets more intense the deeper you go. The world is immersive and the amazing music really adds to the atmosphere and tension. It can feel a bit slow at times but the exploration, mystery and overall vibe make it really worth playing. 🎚️ Difficulty 🔲 My grandmother could play it 🔲 Easy 🔲 Normal ☑️ Hard (It is hard until you understand it.) 🔲 A challenge to be…

unlabelledView post →I was fortunate enough to go into this game blind, knowing nothing about it. And in the spirit of keeping this review vague so others may experience what I did, all I will say is that this game is one of a kind. I yearn for games like this set in alien oceans. The base building in this game is simple and fairly enjoyable, and this is from someone who dislikes base building in pretty much any game. Exploration is integral and rewarding, as you get to learn more about the world you are in and…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Absolutely phenomenal, I've never had such an immersive experience in any other game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just noticed that Subnautica 2 is the most wishlisted/followed game on Steam due out this year. By a large margin, too. The same Subnautica 2 that is apparently going to be self-published by the devs now after Krafton decided to self-destruct over having to pay bonuses. They're gonna make bank.
unlabelledView post →NEW: There's new Subnautica 2 drama. Lawyers for newly-restored CEO Ted Gill say Krafton had no authority to announce a May early access release for the game. Might ask a judge for Krafton to be held in contempt Krafton says Gill can still make his own decision www.gamefile.news/p/subnautica...

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I bought this game because I thought, "Hey, It looks interesting enough. It's very nice and shark looking animals are pretty cool." I was wrong. This isn't a "fun underwater exploration game." This is a Terror Management Simulator disguised as a marine biology project. The First 10 Minutes is wow, look at the pretty fish. Everything is glowing! I'm going to build a nice little base and get a full tank of hoverfish and peepers. 2-Hour into the game: i have run out of oxygen while looking for…

unlabelledView post →Subnautica starts as a chill ocean vacation and quickly turns into “what was that noise and why is it getting closer? You go in feeling like a brave explorer and come out afraid of swimming in bathtubs. 10/10, would panic again.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't read any guides, don't delve too deeply into reviews. Play blind for the best experience. A beautifully made adventure/survival experience set within a large and varied underwater world full of interesting and exciting flora and fauna. Strong story elements prevent stagnation and boredom and lead the player to new and changing biomes. Whilst necessary for progression, the crafting and collection elements are minimal and without the repetition or slog of most open-world survival games.…

unlabelledView post →I don't know how to describe this experience. No game will make you feel like this one. This is a beast that you have to overcome. Was dropping this game twice because of how scary it was but was still enamored with the idea that I kept coming back. Had to play in 20 minutes segments each day to get used to it. Exposure therapy at its finest. Such a weird world this is, not only you're forced to survive on an alien planet but also underwater where everything does look alien. Scary and you…

unlabelledView post →A personal favorite of mine that I keep going back to, Subnautica is an open world survival game released in early 2018, which both rewards and punishes curiosity on an alien planet. You play as Ryley Robinson, the seemingly only survivor of a crash, after your captain mysteriously changed routes. Using what resources around you you need to survive and explore trying to find a way off the planet. But you quickly learn you are not at the top of the food chain. I find Subnautica perfectly…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Subnautica for me, has been one of the greatest games i've played. It has helped me during darker times of my life, and i still think it lives up as a great game years after it released. The atmosphere of this game is amazing, it has a way of making you feel so small in this big ocean world. And the silent player person makes *you* feel like you're there and let's you react to the world around you. The storyline is great, and the graphics still look great. I really recommend this game to almost…
