![]() However, slight niggles aside, Below Zero absolutely delivers in providing more of the excellent deep sea survival antics that we know and love from the original Subnautica. There's also not quite the same scale and scope in the tech tree here, which is understandable given this sequel's DLC origins. There's far more marching around here, wandering the hostile arctic tundra, and although it's never particularly bad - there's always plenty to find (and flee from) in these portions of the game - it's just not where Subnautica really excels, we always wanted to be back in the water as soon as we were dragged out of it.
