Subnautica Critique - Survival Game Standout

Video Description

This is a re-upload of the video I made on a previous channel, originally uploaded on August 3, 2021. Timestamps and corrections are below. This is an in-depth review of Subnautica, discussing it's gameplay, exploration, and story, among other things. This game offers a unique experience that's unlike any survival game I've played, and it's worth playing if you want to walk away with something memorable.

It's important strictly for progression because it's the most reliable way to farm Kyanite - I didn't actually know Kyanite even came in single crystals until long after I had gotten it in resource deposits. In that sense the Drill Arm is important for progression since Kyanite is essential for the Escape Rocket. It just doesn't have as much diverse use outside of that. 27:41 - I said that you need one Blue Tablet to unlock the full Primary Containment Facility. I talk about this in more detail pretty soon after but you actually need two - one for the entrance, and one to access the aquarium. 28:53 - I said that you'll have to leave the Lava Lakes/ILZ with a Prawn or Cyclops. This isn't always true since there are lots of fast travel portals in the containment facility which can bring you back to the surface faster. It does help with the monotony a bit and I should have considered it more when criticizing this part of the game, but the portals also don't lead you to the most convenient places so I don't quite think it's a good enough solution.
