This is my original review posted to Steam on March 7, 2020, with 49.5 hours logged at time of review. I now have 438.9 hours across both the early access and final release.
I’ve played this game since early release beta versions, and I’ve enjoyed it — but I did enjoy Subnautica more, primarily because of the story and the size of the area to explore. This game, once the story has been redone, will likely be as good, just without all the different craft options.
I do like the Sea Truck, but I miss the Cyclops. I’m hoping the story is as good as the original one. Even without the story, I still recommend the game as it is now.
Verdict: Recommended — 438.9 hrs on record
