Descend into the depths of an alien underwater world filled with wonder and peril. Craft equipment, pilot submarines and out-smart wildlife to explore lush coral reefs, volcanoes, cave systems, and more - all while trying to survive. - เกม
An early access game fully released? And its good?!
What timeline am i on?
dude there were dozens of them (and they were good or even finger likin' good) but barely any article about them, most people still have mindset "early access/kickstarter=scam and never ever release"
and there are no loot boxes too, praise the lord, it's a miracle!
Well after DayZ a functioning game is all i ask for
people still waiting for DayZ?
Oh right, I forgot that you can refund game after full release (out of EA), then good riddance, it won't come out, ever.
So many games went in and out of EA and were good with way lesser budget and fame/hype it's not even funny.
Necrodancer happened before.
Bought the game on a whim twelve hours or so ago. Had planned on having a quick looksie before going to bed. Forgot to sleep. Did dive, and survive (so far). This is the best 20 bucks I spent on a game in at least a decade.
And I ordinarily can't warm up to survival games.
I did the same thing yesterday. I got the game on Epic games for free and I usually don't like survival crafting games. I started playing at 9AM. With breaks for eating and using the bathroom, I played all the way until 11:30 PM This game is awesome!!!
yep. Fully agree with you 2. Got it over an year ago, around 10 PM, started playing uninterrupted (except for 2 or 3 toilet breaks) then I look out the window and it's dawn. I go "oh, it's morning, I'll finish scanning the seaglide and then sleep". Fast forward 3-4 hours and I'm still playing the game xD ... I don't remember if I have eaten after those 3-4 more hours, or if I did go directly to bed, all I remember is that I have slept with my daily clothes on, and woke up dizzy 4-5 hours later and went right back to the computer to continue playing. Fucking neat!
Damn. It's $40 on ps4 in 2021.
@@Impulset0 100% worth the full price. Not many games do nowdays, but this surely does.
A survival game that went through early access, got fully released and is actually pretty damn good for a change. What a time to be alive.
I’m guessing that as an Australian the bizarre and dangerous sea life didn’t really phase you much?
It still freaked me the fuck out.
soft
Fun fact: If you hold a Peeper in your hand, Nearby Reapers will come by and take it(without damaging you) and leave you alone for a bit. This game is very clever when it comes to giving you options for dealing with predators.
MrFlunkorg you mean stalkers :)
+Phobosinadamant
No he means reapers.
But you can do that with stalkers too.
"Turns your sweat into water. Yummy." Yeah... sweat, we'll go with that.
Little trivia when we are talking about making water:they make water from urine on International Space Station(ISS).
DELICIOUS POO WATER
You can go pretty deep in this game.
I'd let the developers go that deep into my ass for a co-op mode.
Chase F very mature
Quantum Ridley I know
As I listened to this I was think about how much I would want a Co-operative mode
there is a mod being made witch allows multiplayer
TTS Gaming I mean that's nice but havin the devs balance around it and add it in fully would be preferable
Unfortunately, the creative director of Subnautica seems to not be interested in providing modding tools and that's a damn shame. I can think of a bunch of improvements modders could bring to the game, like a recipe tracker that tells you exactly what you need on your hud to craft something so that you never forget, new monsters and, of course, co-op whic his something the devs aren't really interested in creating.
Bilaros93
They are interested in co-op but they said it would take way too long and they wanted to release the full game. They also said they might make another version of the game with co-op at some point though.
Lately when I hear mods it's always tied to the steam workshop. I adore mods, but not when they're kept in some walled garden. I hope they allow modding, but only if it's not tied to the workshop.
ToastyPC What's wrong with Workshop mods?
ThreeDaysOfDan lmao chill, I was just asking what was wrong with steam workshop
The Optimist I'm just tired or ignorant shills defending steams virtual monopoly on the PC market. No one questions it and it and openly complain when a competitor trys it's own service . Like geez
lol I see you hiding in the Degasi site from crab squids.... me to
too*
No Man's Sea :D
It really feels like it was meant for VR though.
I heard that VR is a bit rough with this game and needs work. But yeah, it seems like this game is made for it.
Larry Bundy Jr That analogy doesn't even make sense since this game has intentionally designed content while No man's lie is a procedurally generated empty mess lol
What happened to your latest video sir?? I just missed it :)
You can play it in VR right now although there's no motion control support. It's still an enjoyable experience in VR currently though
Larry Bundy Jr Naming any game with "no man's" in the beginning is an insult.
"I never sleep, cause sleep is the cousin of death"
"Beyond the walls of intelligence, life is defined
I think of crime when I'm in a New York state of mind"
laughed so hard
Never has the word shit been better pronounced. You top it in almost every new video.
Except for in The Wire.

That Dane Cook joke was mint. Well done.
I didn't understand that joke, could someone explain, please?
Oliver Wilmot - Dane Cook is....was a stand up comic whose humor was crass and juvenile. The majority of his audience appeared to be teenagers who enjoyed toilet humor and big dick jokes. Think of a loud, dumb jock in the back of the classroom.
The nail on Dane Cook's coffin came when his joke stealing escapades from more talented comedians came to light.
OIC, thanks!
Great review, though I personally found some of the footage kinda spoilery, like with late game monsters and gear and all that. Minor complaint overall though
I hoped it would make people want to play it.
Nah it doesn’t really spoil it, there is so much in the game and he showed minor stuff
I love how relaxed and almost meditative this game is in places and, at other times so stressful and even scary. They did a great job. I normally only play single player rpg type games so I feel like I lucked into this as my first "survival" game. I sure hope they keep co-op out of though. Such a success as a single player game. I love seeing that.
Been waiting for you to cover this game. I didn't want to play it till it was finshed.
Listening from another side of the world!
Greetings from Poland!
kwadrat36 Poland: or as I call it "Witcher-land"
They fired their only polish dev though. I'll give it a pass.

This is subnautica not overwatch
**FILTRATION DEVICES EVERYWHERE**
Sooo.... You install League of Legends to get infinite water?
Finally, a survivial game with a world worth exploring, and progression worth progressing
A Co-op mode would be perfect for this
A normal co-op where both players are in the same pod
And a hard one where you have to find each other first
I honestly don't understand the craze with co-op. As someone who likes single player more than multiplayer I find Subnautica's map pretty small even for a single player. In co-op you would find the other player within 15 minutes of gameplay, since there's only 5 or 6 possible locations for the lifepod in the shallow. If the locations of both players are random generated (and they're in the safe shallows like they should be) your lifepods will be spawned at close distance to each other and you will find each other just by scouting in all directions. On this map size there really is no point in playing co-op, so why is everyone so vocal about this feature?
Besides, when you drive the cyclops there really is not enough map to justify the presence of a cyclops, so it would be even worse if there were 2, or more of them. You would bump into each other so often that it would be no fun anymore.
And last, but not least, the exploration (which is one of the selling points of Subnautica). Exploring the ocean is fun as long as you have plenty of space to explore, and even as a single player I have come to know all of the corners of the map after only 2 gameplays. If there were 2+ players spawned on this map at the same time the exploration area would be even smaller for each player so, again, what is so special about having a co-op? The way I see it there will be only downsides to this, but maybe you know something that I don't?!?
i know im 3 years late but as long as you were in a voice chat with eachother finding eachother would not be difficult at all, not to mention there's no where to spawn but the shallow biome
I've put about 20 hours into this game since the official launch and been loving every minute of it. This game is a gem that unfortunately many will probably miss out on due to the fact that it isn't combat-centric. It's everything that No Man's Sky should've been but wasn't.
just found this video in 2021 and never thought Gman would be into subnautica.
I think the game is kinda better off without co-op. The game is very atmospheric and makes you feel isolated and having a second player around would kinda mess that up
Co-op would be fun as a side mode though.
I enjoy the solo aspect too, but I've played it before in the same room as a friend and our interest in what was going on in eachother's games makes me really wish it was. Subnautica is a game that shows more than it tells really, so in that aspect it's suited great for making memories with a great pal. A comment that spurred from a discussion with that friend was that if Subnautica had co-op it'd accomplish what Fallout 76 tried to do in terms of storytelling but miles better.
Aliens get involved? you are on a foreign planet, you are the alien.
The aliens who set up all the bases were not native. So they were aliens, too.
The area where you started building your base at 5:09 gave me that tingling feeling up the asshole. Nigga ain't that the place where the ghost leviathan roams?
It's not actually the planet's core you go into. In the game the Aurora actually crashed on a crater, which explains why you're surrounded by "The Void" which is just open ocean populated mostly by microscopic life. It's an inactive and active volcano that you go down into.
I just started playing this game a couple days ago and I have no life now. It's insanely addictive. I almost want to be done with it so I can get my life back but I also don't want it to end lol
This game is seriously one of the most addicting and interesting games I have ever played. I'm so glad I didn't watch many videos except yours because playing this thing pretty much blind is so much fun and challenging.
Yeah it's a good game but after a while it gets very tedious looking for equipment fragments and blueprints. Here's what I think this game should needs:
- Free look camera so that you can scan the environment more easily while traveling
- A map that you gain after some hours into the game, one that will show you only the places that you've been at. It's good that you're completely lost at the beginning but after a while it gets incredibly tedious trying to remember where each biome are , what resources are in each biome, where you've yet explored etc.
- Scanner room keeps showing items like databanks even after you've open them which makes absolutely no sense and it's incredibly annoying.
- There no info on the range of the scanner room, and the upgrade to increase the range doesn't say anything about how much.
- The only fish you can eat are sardine size. Why can I kill something of the size of a big tuna but not eat it? That makes no sense.
- I get the devs doesn't want you to wreck havoc with weapons killing everything but they still should've added more and better countermeasures that causes the aggressive creatures discomfort making them go away.
Dv8_NO
Most of these are nitpicks but still fair points:)
Yeah the game is good, but for me it gets a bit frustrating that such a unique game have flaws that seems rather easy to fix. The devs are going to continue working on the game though. -It would be quite amazing if the game had mod support-
Edit: seems like there are some mods already but not many. I'm hoping the modding community are willing and able to do whatever they want to!
to find the sea bases you have to read the logs you get from the gun
Very Nice and I am planning to buy it!
Thanks Sir Gggmanlives
Well, have you bought it? Have you played it? Did you like it? Don't keep us waiting :)
"Having to google the blueprint locations, because they are so hard to find". Is that before you realised about the scanner room?
Multiplayer / Co-Op would ruin the Game's principle though. Your supposed to feel completly alone in a Alien World, trying to adapt and survive. Co-op would simply kill the immersion and atmosfere.
no it's atmosfear
@@ElectrusBoom it's a weather mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R
Pod has 2 seats
I'm glad I played this late, you guys put your lives into a game development, spoiled yourself to the max and suspended suspense as a true trooper. I like early access/ beta, but guys I will maybe participate in it after 10 early access games
Walking simulators have evolved into scuba simulators. What a time to be alive.
I binge watch your videos
Ah yes Subnautica aka the game No Man's Sky wishes it could be.
Sleeperagent first reading that, I thought you said that subnautica wishes it could be no mans sky and I was about to go off, lmao
Every good survival/exploration games is what no man's sky always want to be.
Hahaha I wish I could play this but I have a severe phobia of the open ocean.
So does Markiplier, it was very interesting to see him over-come his fear as he kept playing though.
Very interesting playthrough, i'd recommend a watch
Play subnautica and it will be replaced with the fear of dark waters and the things that dwell in them.
I'll never try swimming outside the map perimeter again.
EVER
bitch
You should play it, then!! You will truly appreciate the experience more than people without the phobia (unless you have a form of PTSD, in which case, yeah, you would want to avoid it).
Don't play this then, you'll have nightmares.
"I don't want to spoil anything but I will just say that aliens get involved"
ok... Sunny Jim
Are you shocked that on an alien planet there might be aliens? Wow, what a revelation...
I bought this game 2 months ago and i still haven't went to the dark deep places. Whenever i go down intentionally or on accident i get a sudden panic attack and just say nope and quit. I think i have some kind of phobia of deep sea/dark places where anything could exist. And i literally can't even look outside when it's night because HOLY SHIT nights are scary. Generaly im not really afraid of the dark, but deep water and space scares me
Got it very recently on play at home from Sony and omg what a game, im hooked finally built my first base, how did this game go under the radar
A search function in the blueprints would be very handy. God knows how many times I've had to look up something for an entire minute.
goD I LOVE THIS CHANNEL
Surprised it ended up being good. Groovy.
Yeah, I’m really not a fan of survival games like... well I can’t think of any examples except for minecraft, but subnautica really subverts the genre to make a less grindy and more story-focused experience.
To be honest, this game is more about thinking strategically and prioritizing goals. When you start making charts with your beacons and the scanner room, you increase your QoL a lot by paying a little and the game becomes much more enjoyable very quickly.
The last game that gave me underwater vibes and is quite similar to Subnautica is an old PS2 game called Everblue 2, where you play as a scuba diver. Anyone ever play it?
I was able to find the alien bases just fine. There's a PDA entry that gives all the info you need for them.
Dude I love your channel.
"Let's plays are the Dane Cooks of content creators".....
I salute you sir; for your sardonic yet palpable wit.
To avoid spoilers almost entirely and get the necessary info about the game, watch until 4 :00
360p Early Squad! EDIT: On a more serious note. This game really feels like an insanely refined one world no man's sky that delivers on what it wanted to, and then some.
I really like that this is a survival game that doesn't suck hopefully we'll see more in the future. My paralyzing fear of open ocean renders it unplayable for me, however; but I'm glad others can enjoy it.
Hey Gggman! You should review Urban Chaos: Riot Response. It's a super good fps from the ps2 era where you play as an agent who has to save a city that's full of gangs. It has fun gameplay and cool challenges, as well as a good variety of weapons. Your videos are awesome :) Keep making great content!
Also it was the first game made by the studio that did the Batman: Arkham games (Rocksteady), so it's interesting to see the start of a company who went on to make some pretty highly acclaimed games.
I got this on Xbox a few years back and completely forgot about it! I’ll have to give it another look.
I agree with pretty much everything... however, I think a Co-op mode would take away from the feeling of isolation.
Agreed
I guess im gonna have to play this one now. You sold me on it.
That Dane Cook joke made me physically feel 2007. Damn.
i bought this game on steam years ago maybe it's about time i play it and watching this review couldn't have come at a better time
The entire population of my hometown played this back in August 2017.
2018 is gonna be such a good year
Relaxing? We playing the same game? Subnautica stresses me out and terrifies me on a level no other game ever has before.
Good point, lol. Base building is comfy though.
I like how he sounds like an Australian from "down under". Lol. It's so fitting.
Great review and really good ideas for the developers to add into the game. I'm sure they can still implement these features in future updates.
I picked up Subnautica when I heard it had released, and spent the next five days experiencing the best and the worst it had to offer. It's beautiful, even at the lowest settings, which is good because optimisation is still hovering around PUBG levels at the moment, my 1050 and i5 4570 will hold around 40-70fps on medium, but low will stick me between 50-90. Once they polish that up it'll be a fantastic example of Early Access, as it is, I'd say it's very close to that, but not there yet.
Also fuck the ocean.
Turns out water is a real bitch to render.
Which is baffling, considering all that's seemingly needed 90% of the time is depth fog. The surface itself is rarely visible, or nor in focus.
John Bowrey I have 1080ti, 1440p on max get between 90 and 140 FPS
Good suggestions. May I recommend adding them to the Subnautica subreddit so the developers can add them in future patches. 5 hot keys in a game with so many craftables is a definite annoyance.
Perfect timing for a review my friend, I was in the market.
Ocean Man
Take me by the hand...
Show me the land....
*Lead me to the land
I'd love to play this in VR, so immersive just on a regular screen.
"Let's plays being the dane cooks of video content creators"
Excellent review but I am stealing this line. 😁
in my opinion the main thing that makes subnautica so good is how everything feels alive, you feel like you're actually in a living alien world with believable yet still alien creatures.
hell i wouldn't mind if they made another game that was on a different alien planet, because just exploring these biomes and learning how things interact with eachother is really fun in and of itself.
if they did make another then i'd say it would be a good idea to improve creature ai even further so they interact with eachother more and have more quirks, land or sea i'd be down for it.
Cant even express how glad I am that you like it
This video convinced me to finally get Subnautica. At the time, I was sick of all the survival games. There's just too god damn many of them. But Subnautica did something that made me enjoy the formula again, and I lost count of the many audible "what the fuck was that" that came out of my mouth as I explored deeper.
Finally got around to building a base in the Jellyshroom cave, and it's quite serene watching the Crabsnakes go about their business from the observatory.
Another great video! Really love your content!
This looks even better than what it was in early access.
I'm getting this as soon as I can.
Why did you show the island!? That would have been a great surprise...
It's hardly a spoiler.
The island is in the cinematic trailer. If anything I think it's better for uploaders to not fully reveal the leviathans encountered in the game, to make them all the more terrifying when encountered.
I really hope you will review Global Operation one day. That game was amazing back when I play it. Lots of weapons, 13 maps and 7 classes (if i remember correctly)
I'm not into survival games but this one looks really interesting
Subnautica is really classic piece... Strange saying this after one year after release.. But it is true...
Wasn't there a pc game called sub-nautica in the windows 98 era. Im sure i had a demo of it back in the day as it utilised the 3dfx glide api and i'd hunt down anything that used it for that silky shiny gfx goodness
I really want to give this a try if it wasn't for one thing...
The reapers.
oh, don't worry about the reapers. They always stay in their own place, so they won't come after you unless you get close to them, but even so, you can hear their roar from afar and once you do you can back off.
Besides, the reapers are food for something else.... something bigger... so you really should not concern with the reapers ^_^
I was on the fence about buying Subnautica but I may just give it a shot after this review. Thanks for the video
This looks really interesting. It's like that old Infocom text adventure game Seastalker, but with kick ass graphics.
You don't need to look up where the alien bases are.
You get all the info in the game.
Convert sweat into drinking water you say? Sign me the fuck up
Damn it Ggg, could you have put any more spoilers in this videos. I had to stop watching at 2:44
I was kinda anxious to hear what you think of my (maybe) favorite game. But at the same time I was glad you hadn't reviewed it because I was sure you would hate it xD ...But it turns out that I agree with you on every aspect of this review. Phew! What a relief.
I love it, it's my favorite game so far of 2018.
My favorite part is when my flashlight runs out in a dark cave, then when reloaded, it reveals I was 2 feet from a rude bastard of a fish who happily relieves me of my meaty bits.
“Let’s players are the Dane Cook of content creators” haha nailed it!
im not normally into these kind of survival games, especially since after No Man's Sky, but this looks REALLY interesting and something im probably wait for more reviews on
great video btw. really peaked my interest on this one
Review American Mcgee's Alice and maybe the second one Alice: The Madness Returns. Hidden gems, my dude.
Solid Review man! I might pick this up soon.
You've probably been asked this alot but, are you going to review the Elder Scrolls games? PWEASE REVIEW THEM!
I'm working on reviews for Oblivion and Skyrim.
Excellent review! You have swayed me into buying the game!
The only things about this review I really disagree with is the desire for an auto swim feature as exploring the beauty of the world is part of the amazing ambience of the game and you aren’t supposed to mindlessly travel like that. Also the difficulty in finding the alien bases is very exaggerated. The game pushes you in the right direction with the various early game events and it’s up to the player to pay attention and use the info provided to figure out where to go. It’s one of the best parts of the game piecing the information you received together to pinpoint the location of the bases.
True, but sometimes you're just swimming a couple km's back to your base, not exploring. Those are the times I wished I had it.
It might be late, but in this game before going into the rocket, you are infected, so you have to find a cure
"...Causing you to forget to come up for air"
its the little jokes that make the whole thing shine.
Wow for the vehicle upgrade console you don’t need it for a seamoth since in the Aurora you can get the depth module mkI
Dang this not having co-op really does feel like a huge missed opportunity.
I don't really know what it's called but I kinda have a phobia of wide open areas with nothing as far as the eye can see. I also am terrified of the ocean. The first time I played this game and I came out if the hatch on the pod. All my breath was taken right out of my chest. I had to take a few seconds to recoup. I really want to play more but it freaks me out so hard.
all that trouble to make the video last 10 minutes and it doesnt even have ads, feels bad
