Description from the video:
Subnautica 2 is an underwater survival adventure game set on an all-new alien world. It is the next chapter in the Subnautica universe, developed by Unknown Worlds.
Driven from your home by ongoing conflict, Alterra offers you the chance at a new life. But as the colony ship CICADA shepherds you and your fellow Pioneers to your new home, something goes awry. The ship’s AI insists that your mission should continue. Stranded and faced with near-insurmountable odds, you must do everything in your power to survive. The future of humanity on this world is in your hands.

Subnautica helped me vanquish (control, really) my thalassophobia and was a beautiful experience all around. This looks like they’ve made the emerged parts of the world a little more daring/alien than the first. Very excited to see how it looks in glorious UE5.
Me too… in video games lol. Real water can be like a thousand times more murky, and wreckage can be full of dangerous rust and things to get your equipment tangled on 😞
But anyway yeah it became one of my very favorite games and I even beat it on hardcore mode. The cyclops only tried to yeet my character once or twice lol
I’m told it’s great in VR. Never tried it, but if the steam frame ever appears. . .
It’s absolutely gorgeous in VR. Unfortunately it’s almost unplayable for most people. The motion sickness is… impressive. I managed to work my way up to about 10 minutes of swimming, before I gave up trying to adapt.
It’s on my list to do, when the steam frame comes out.
FYI, the best VR game I’ve found is “super hot VR”.
Super Hot VR is SO much fun in VR. Definitely a must play.
I throw Outer Wilds as best VR game into the ring. Floating in space or fall into a black hole is something else…
Yea this is THE game I’d like to experience in VR. In immersion, so to say. Wearing fins, feet dipped in a bowl of water.
