Is Below Zero better than Subnautica? (No spoilers) | The differences between SN & BZ

Isnt the shark squid a leviathan ? Just one of the smallest species

The scare factor was definitely a step back BUT everything else is an improvement over original Subnautica.
What's cool though, is you can replace the models of the creatures. So that's not even a problem for the scare factor

No spoilers... spoils it

I really miss the Seamoth and cyclops, I find the seatruck just ugly and unpractical. The cyclops really worked as a dynamic base, and if you found a place you could not explore with the cyclops due to its size, then you could use the Seamoth or the Prawn suit stored in the belly of the Cyclops.

Below zero is a great game. They improve a lot of aspects of the original. But, they remove the best aspect. The horror.

I know they did it for story... but the whole reason i love subnautica , is in fact exploring the "ocean" i only go on land in the original when i have to...

Its what makes subnautica pretty unique.. although i like the "Modular" design of the Seatruck... i like the idea of a customizable mobile seabase... cause i can never decide where id build a regular base.

id say.. subnautica is less scarier beacuse in bz if your new ur mostly gonna freak out when seeing those black fishes with 4 legs. subnautica is way harder for me. bz isnt really hard, only hard thing is convicing urself to go to deep places

Personally I think the original is better than Below Zero so if they make a third game go back to what made the original so good a build on it.

the amount of times my game has crashed without me saving is just too annoying

I want subnautica 3 sooo bad. And I hope to god there will be multiplayer

in subnautica it doesn't matter which distress call you answer, you already know they've all been eaten by a huge snake

Lol. No. You'd have remove all the cringe dialogue from BZ to level the playing field enough before it would make sense to talk about the other aspects of the game.

I could do without the main character having a background... or speaking. In fact, let's never do that again.

Thanks. I will not be installing BL.

Wtf. Do you even swim bro?

I like the pace and story line of Bellow Zero. I enjoyed exploration and horror in the original, but the pace was a bit slow for me.

Just bought subnautica this boutta he fun

Wow if only the chelicerate's in my game were as chill and stupid as your ones...

were are the reapers

The Deep is the different. Subnautica below zero is a cool game realy good. But the feeling is not even close to what Subnautica was. No horror.

Hey i had glitch with the game a while back where the entire map would disappear and i had to go to my last save and for some reason everytime it happened the map would refresh is the best way to put it anything i scanned broke or took was back so i had infinite resources i didn't do anything to cause this either not that I'm aware of anyway so yeah

i prefered the original, because 1) the vehicles in subnautica are so much better, the cyclops compared to the sea truck, its just so much better. 2) the horror aspect and the deep. The original subnautica felt like u were in an actual massive ocean world, below zero removes that mystery and horror, and even makes u feel not alone, which is what made subnautica so immersive and memorizing.

i was like I CANT HEAR A DAMN THING YOU ARE SAYING BECAUSE OF YOUR MUSIC, AND INGAME SOUND EFFECTS MIXED WITH YOUR NARRATION !
but then i realized steam pages for subnautica and below zero are both playing trailers.

Terima kasih, akhirnya saya tau perbedaan kedua game ini

I hope they bring being alone and horror aspects back in the 3rd, it was large part of the charm in 1st game which made it so good

no f way that trash is better than the original

We have beeg worm in BZ

These are two completely different games, one is more survival horror, other is more story survival

I only spent like maybe 20% of my time in subnautica below zero on land, and I finished it. I preferred the original over the sequel, just enjoyed it more. I liked piecing together what happened at each different area.

the ice worm is prob my favorite leviathan

Yea lk playing as a stupid girl just to make Fred disappeared along with no more horror?!..of course it ain't gonna be same, its a fkg disappointment. We want Fred and Horror back!.

I bought of them for 50%off sale on ps store man this games looks so good on that ps5 oled tv the ocean survival experience is to good being able to explore the sea build 👌 🙌 can't wait for that subnatica 3

I don't if i should play it on filmic mode on or off it looks much better on filmic gives you that ocean survivor experience :/

One thing I don't like about the game is how they completely took away the "Alone on an alien world" aspect of the first game. AL-AN is always there, and Marguerite Maida is chillin' in a seabase.

it was so short, to me. i found myself accidentally beating the game expecting so much more to go and explore, only then to find out it was over. i only spent 3 hours beating this game (without mods or cheats) and will probably have to spend another 5 just to recover all of the story that i lost. I would like a lot of the horror element back from the base game and the exploration and story element in the third installment too, but i do like how the developers added more characters and storyline.

my point is: i wish the devs would have made it so that you could only beat the game after, e.g. finding the antidote and curing the frozen leviathan, which i didn't get to do. i also didn't get to explore like 6 of the architect cave caches because the game didn't develop any hints or clues to where i should explore. the arctic islands were very hard to navigate due to the lack of clues and story. i believe the way that they went with the story was right, but not enough. for the average player like me, you will probably miss quite a lot of the details that the game includes.

Its nothing like the base game, subnautica is extremely grim and harsh and way more lore based and for me that was the best thing, discovering and connection the dots to know wth is going on and why you crashed and how to dip all that while being completely alone and occasionally getting some creepy encrypted voice messages just to make things worse. below zero was really a disappointment for me

The whole point of below zero is the story. Yet it's told REALLY poorly. I mean you could skip parts, and spoil the entire thing, if you just happen to find a certain pda. I think that is just bad design. And I honestly like the original subnauticas story better, but it's just me. The only thing, that below zero is better at imo, are biomes and npcs. Honestly Al-An and Margherite carry the show. Overall bz was not bad, just overhiped. It looks like below zero is just a reanimation of scrapped mob and biome ideas. But i really like the feeling of it, cuz it gives that "alien planet" vibe a liiitle bit better.

So the first one is better?

I hate the sea monkeys stealing you sh&$ as you try to do stuff and build things. Would not have included that after the first time it happened.

You said no spoilers and there were.

Just played through both for the first time amd my opinion is below zero is a good dlc but isn't big enough to equal the origonal. I did enjoy all the new building stuff, but missed being terified to tred past the unknown.

Me personally I think the sea truck and the prawn suits are the best because of the amount of customization and how they can have different attachments and upgrades and sometimes it even makes sense to have multiple load outs for specific situations

The only time I was scared in below zero is when I knew when a dangerous creature was nearby meanwhile in subnautica just hearing some noises and not being able to see where those noises are coming from would scare me

Short answer: no.

I have no nostalgia for Subnautica as I only played it this week after buying it on the steam sale so I say this without memory bias. I just started below zero today and crap this is a serious case of devs not understanding their players. This game just isn’t fun. As a survival game the original and sequel failed. What makes the original fun was the horror, and moments were their was no bottom or anything in sight. Below Zero unless you have extreme claustrophobia your not going to feel any fear. And even then that’s only in a select few areas most are open but not really open like the original. I guess performance wise the sequel was better but other then that and a few base parts and the land being more detailed it’s really worse in almost every aspect.

Your telling me below zero is like THIS?!?! Idk if I want it anymore is it even worth it? Pls tell me

The third installment needs multiplayer

Looking to try one ? Which one should I play

The difference is
There is a giant worm trying to kill you
